Justyn Vicky was one such influencer, as well as a bodybuilder, who shared his fitness journey with nearly 30,000 followers on Instagram. However, the worst happened during one of his workouts, leading to his tragic death. 33-year-old fitness influencer dies after attempting 210kg squat press On July 15, Vicky was in the middle of strength training at The Paradise Bali gym in Sanur, Indonesia when he got ready to squat press 210kg (around 460 lbs). Vicky attempted to rise, carrying the weight on his shoulders, when he failed to stand upright. According to reports, his spotter could not help him up, and the bar came crashing forward on Vicky\u2019s neck. The influencer was rushed to the hospital, with reports claiming he suffered a broken neck as a result of the ordeal \u2014 as well as \u201ccritical compression of vital nerves\u201d connecting to his organs. Surgeons performed an emergency operation on the bodybuilder, who died from his injuries shortly thereafter at just 33 years old. Fans and fellow athletes are expressing their heartfelt condolences on Vicky\u2019s Instagram page in the wake of the tragic accident that took his life. \u201cHe was always full of positive vibes and [made me stay] motivated,\u201d one user wrote. \u201cI\u2019ll never forget his impact on my fitness journey. It\u2019s a tough loss, but we\u2019ll keep his spirit alive.\u201d \u201cI didn\u2019t know him well, but when we talked, he seemed like a great person,\u201d another said. \u201cMy condolences to the family.\u201d The Paradise Bali gym, where the incident took place, also offered their support via Instagram, writing: \u201cTo our dear Justyn, your impact on our lives is immeasurable.\u201d \u201cYour legacy will live on through the countless lives you\u2019ve touched, the transformations you\u2019ve inspired, and the love and passion you infused into every moment we spent together. Rest peacefully, dear friend. You will forever remain in our hearts.\u201d Lifting heavy weights certainly comes with a measure of risk. In January, prominent Twitch streamer Mizkif was in the middle of benching 315 lbs when he dropped the bar on his chest.
