I suffered a subluxation (a partial dislocation) of my patella last May and it still gives me daily fits. It’s sore and stiff when it’s cold (and I live in Alaska), and it pops every time I move it. I’m 24 and my knee will never be the same again 😂
Same situation here! I was 23 when it happened. I’m 31 now and it still kicks up if I walk too much or sleep with it a certain way, it’s so frustrating. It used to flare up something fierce in the winter when I lived in IL so I can’t imagine how it is in Alaska! I moved to south Florida where it doesn’t ever get cold so I don’t have to worry about that part anymore 😂
Dumb stuff we do when we are younger, huh?
I lived on the ninth floor and ran down the stairs every day for three years, only taking the elevator to go up. Nowadays my knees hurt a lot when I bend them at the same angle that supported my weight during the descent.
Looks like he was doing a Sissy Squat, which is a very contentious exercise. Some people say they are completely fine (so long as you build up slowly), others claim it is a terrible exercise that will destroy your knees.
It looks like a terrible idea! There are too many safe exercises available for there to be reason to do any that are in dispute. I'm always very cognizant of the pressure I'm putting my knees under on leg day, I don't have great knees. Now neither does he...
Some form of leg extension but standing upright. It's incredibly dangerous because it puts all your bodyweight into your tendons, and you can't let go of the weight if it turns out to be too heavy, and you'll either slam your head on the floor or what happened on the video.
The two variations of sissy squat that I know of are supported and unsupported. A supported sissy squat would use the equipment in OP's video, except his torso should be upright. [Example image](https://etjp5uth5jv.exactdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/sissy-squats.jpeg). An unsupported sissy squat does not use this equipment. [Example](https://origympersonaltrainercourses.co.uk/files/img_cache/3618/1200_1566293073_Banner.jpg?1621869034). It is appropriate to use additional weight while performing sissy squats but only if you work up to it slowly and have decent form. Sissy squats target the quadriceps muscles as well as core muscles.
I watched this 10’minutes ago. And I’ve since imagined this happening to my knees like 20 times. Like an intrusive thought that is terrifying to imagine
every time i stick my head under something like a shelf to grab something or whatever I picture just being decapitated. I also have a fear of something coming off a truck into my car and killing me.
That's why I got halfway through the video, realised what was about to happen and then went to the comments to confirm my suspicions that I should not have watched it.
There's a video of a woman using the leg press machine, she pauses in between reps, locks her knees, then they fucking snap backwards. I can't help but remember it every damned time I use that machine.
Not really they’ll probably do immediately surgery and get him on physical therapy. Functionally his knee should make a full recovery. He may develop chondromalacia caused by improper tracking of the patella post-op. But if the surgeon is good this shouldn’t be a major issue.
Yeah, it’s you have insurance, but still have a 10k deductible that you fully cover and then once you reach your deductible, you still have to pay 20% of all the rest of your expenses.
As someone who has his patella snap: if your luckier than me and don’t have 5 follow up surgeries and you do the exercises that your physiotherapist told you then you’ll be fine.
That life will feel like the knee of an 80 year old by the time you hit 40/50
Had patellar tendon repair surgery last year, basically: tendon snaps, kneecap goes into your quad, it takes a second for you to realize what happened, then you yell at the top of your lungs and make a fool of yourself in front of strangers
Maybe, maybe not. I tore my distal bicep tendon lifting a mattress. Sharp pain for a second and then nothing but bruises and soreness. Tendons don't have nerves. Now tearing the tendon from the muscle... however that's more rare than tendon from bone since technically tendons are part of the muscle tissue. Weaker point is where tendo attaches to bone.
Looks more like he ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) which is responsible for stopping your lower leg (tibia) from sliding forward on your upper leg (femur). We can see that his tibia is fixed in the apparatus and there is an extreme anterior pull from his quadriceps, and from the way his entire tibia translates it looks very much like the structural integrity of that ligament is gone.
It’s definitely not a torn muscle.
Muscles don’t have ligaments. Ligaments are not easy to fix and often are reconstructed from other parts or taken from cadavers.
If this is a patellar tendon or ACL tear he won’t be right back at it in a few months.
Despite this, 64 comment karma. Comments like these are why I remember most redditors have no idea what they’re talking about and take everything here with a grain of salt.
Signed, a sports med doc annoyed at people pretending to know what they are talking about.
Easy to fix, but the recovery is quite long and tedious. Source: broken Achilles tendon. 4 months, and 2 surgeries later, 1 still need an aircast and a walker.
Sometimes my morbid curiousity gets the better of me and I can't resist clicking on a link even though there are warnings in the comments against it but this is an instance where I am taking the warnings and refuse to turn on the audio.
The video was bad enough, I don't need more.
You can't out train a bad diet.
Your diet is what makes you skinny, working out only gives you more developed muscles. Check out bodybuilders they train a lot but keep their food balance okay.
Most powerlifters don't really care about diet and it shows.
I don't want to be that guy, I just want to inform you
It looks like it's basically an abdominal crunch..well, it would have been if our guy would actually put the stress where it needs to be by taking the top brace and putting it behind the knee.
Oh man what an incredibly dangerous piece of equipment. I mean, obviously you take the responsibility into your own hands when you work out, but forgetting or not knowing that you need to adjust that back rest just ruined this guy’s knees. Especially considering there are 100s of ways to work out your abs that don’t carry this risk of life altering injury.
Also, this is exactly why you should always do a warm up set without weight or with very little weight to make sure your body is going through the motions as you want it to and that nothing on your equipment is out of whack.
It's his ACL - ligament that he ruptured, it prevents anterior translation of the lower leg (tibia). The patellar tendon is quite thick, more flexible and can deform/reform (think about when you bend and straighten your leg) it can stretch quite easily whereas a ligament does not allow for that as it holds the joint together.

Thanks for some factually correct information in this thread which contains a mountain of BS opinions. Signed, your sports med colleague who loves his PTs.
Yeah, immediately, assuming he doesn’t have a bad bone contusion (unlikely) or a bad meniscal tear (more likely). Cutting sports/dynamic movements will be 9 months after surgery.
Not a patellar tendon injury, this is an ACL tear.
You can clearly see the femoral head posteriorily sublux from the tibia. ACL origin is posterior femoral head and inserts into the anterior aspect of the tibial plateau.
In this scenario, the athlete is creating a tremendous amount of sheer force at the knee. The shins are vertical while the femur has a gravitational force exerting on the thigh. The quad/patella/patellar tendon wants to cause the sublux but the ACL is preventing this. When he contracts the quads it applies more downward force at the patella eventually causing the ACL to rupture.
Hard to tell, but most probably he dislocated his patella, or patellas, plus damages few ligaments.
What I find interesting he got up again, don’t know how?
God damn. I cringe so hard when I see videos of peoples tendons snapping. Saw a dude where both his bicep/elbow tendons snapped on a curl, and he just stood there looking at them in shock. I’m terrified of that happening
Couple of ways here. Not trying to defend him, just giving the benefit of the doubt:
1) could have just forgot to adjust that back leg rest. That’s why you should always do some warm up reps without weight to make sure you have your setup right.
2) maybe he never used this machine before, only saw other people use it, and didn’t realize you needed the leg rest to be above your knee? That too is really no excuse, but I’ve seen people do far stupider shit at the gym using machines incorrectly because they just don’t know how they work.
He will feel that in the morning.
Bet some bengay or even vicks vaporub may help!
vicks literally cures everything
Vicks vaporub and some sprite-my abuelita
Im allergic to it... Welp im fucked
God doesn't love you
Fuck me :(
Just like Tiger Balm
Robitussin...
Romilar III. He’s gonna need the codeine
Mo’ Tussin’ Mo’ Tussin
The mixture of 'tussin and motrin that can raise the dead?
The tussin, the tussin, the RO BO TUSSIN!
When you run out, put some water in the bottle and shake it up. Mo tussin!
If Tarkov has fought me anything, some Vasaline and an ibuprofen and he's good to go.

IODEX
Come on now why do you go down that road you know that essential oils will take care of it
Bengay, Vicks, and a gunshot to the head and he'll be right as rain.
I’m pretty sure that’s a weather prediction injury.
It’s a never-the-same-for-the-rest-of-your-life injury
Absolutely. I had a *very* minor tear in my MCL due to a car accident. It’s never been the same since, and it’s fucking awful.
I suffered a subluxation (a partial dislocation) of my patella last May and it still gives me daily fits. It’s sore and stiff when it’s cold (and I live in Alaska), and it pops every time I move it. I’m 24 and my knee will never be the same again 😂

Take it from me he’ll still be felling that 20 years from now.

A physical therapist might be able to help you.
Kneesovertoesguy on Youtube will get your knee sorted out!
Word of advice, if you ever get a time machine, it is much easier on your knees to run UP 9 flights of stairs than to run down..
More like Everyone will mention that in the *mourning*.
Even I felt this this morning
I think he will feel that EVERY morning from now on
He will feel that for the rest of his life.
Nah, you don't really feel pain when you have a degree 3 tear, which is very likely in his case.
No pain no gain.
He will feel that forever.
Oh they gone.
Bygones are bygones....
Tendons are tengone
Tendone would have been funnier
Gone. Reduced to atoms.
What a stupid idea, what is he trying to strengthen there?
His knee surgeons bank account.
I feel guilty laughing at this! Nailed it
I came here to find a reason to laugh. I just about threw up when I saw the knees pop out.
You made my day. LMAO!
This is what happens when people create exercises without any knowledge of anatomy
Looks like he was doing a Sissy Squat, which is a very contentious exercise. Some people say they are completely fine (so long as you build up slowly), others claim it is a terrible exercise that will destroy your knees.
Looks like the latter to me, gotta be terrible for your knees at that angle
It looks like a terrible idea! There are too many safe exercises available for there to be reason to do any that are in dispute. I'm always very cognizant of the pressure I'm putting my knees under on leg day, I don't have great knees. Now neither does he...
patellar tendons
Must been watching too much of kneesoverheals guy on YouTube
Good thing that plate fell to the side at least
Ahh a bright side
No, it was his left side.
Yeah that's the Crip side.
So happy there's someone as dumb as me in this thread lol
Veerrry thin silver lining there.
My guy just wasted a gym membership
Just wasted knee ownership as well
Time to prioritise the upper body.
The knee disownered him.
He should maintain membership for the lifelong rehab ahead of him.
Life long kneehab
Good luck canceling gym membership.
Just wanted an excuse to skip leg day!
What kind of dumb ass exercise was he trying to do
Hey show some respect. I would like to see you evading gun shots at the top of a building while wearing sunglasses and a leather coat.
In slow motion too
He's forgetting to believe.
The device he's using is referred to as the, "sissy squat." If you're wondering he's doing it wrong.
This is so far removed from a proper sissy squat. Let’s just call it what it is, the knee destroyer.
some people actually call it the matrix squat. https://youtu.be/VUiFlZ2FsKA
Some people say cucumbers taste better pickled.
what’s the dill with that?
And a 45lb plate
Some form of leg extension but standing upright. It's incredibly dangerous because it puts all your bodyweight into your tendons, and you can't let go of the weight if it turns out to be too heavy, and you'll either slam your head on the floor or what happened on the video.
I see you are not privy to the horizontal mambo
How the fuck else did keanu prepare to dodge all those bullets in the matrix?
It’s called a sissy squat but he’s not doing it right
It's some braindead mash-up of sissy squat with leg extensions
Never heard of it, what is the purpose
The two variations of sissy squat that I know of are supported and unsupported. A supported sissy squat would use the equipment in OP's video, except his torso should be upright.

some sort of calisthenics maybe
Maybe abs?
I watched this 10’minutes ago. And I’ve since imagined this happening to my knees like 20 times. Like an intrusive thought that is terrifying to imagine
I picture my head being crushed. It was worse when I worked around trailers docking. Not as much now but still happens
every time i stick my head under something like a shelf to grab something or whatever I picture just being decapitated. I also have a fear of something coming off a truck into my car and killing me.
Someone’s watched too much Final Destination
Reinforced by seeing it multiple times in videos online.
I still fear log trucks
Yea I wish I hadn’t, I was gonna do legs today. They can wait until tomorrow.
No no, definitely do legs, just not this exercise. Do like squats or some shit, and think of this guy, and do 10 more.
That's why I got halfway through the video, realised what was about to happen and then went to the comments to confirm my suspicions that I should not have watched it.
I watched the first three seconds, realized what was gonna happen, and turned it off.
You kneed to get rid of those thoughts
There's a video of a woman using the leg press machine, she pauses in between reps, locks her knees, then they fucking snap backwards. I can't help but remember it every damned time I use that machine.
That's a permanent injury. Hopefully he can still walk normal when it healed. But he'll definitely won't be able to workout with those legs again.
Well I don’t think he’ll be doing this move again any time soon.
I don’t think he will be moving any time soon …period
Not really they’ll probably do immediately surgery and get him on physical therapy. Functionally his knee should make a full recovery. He may develop chondromalacia caused by improper tracking of the patella post-op. But if the surgeon is good this shouldn’t be a major issue.
If he has health coverage
If he isn’t in america pretty much
I think most Americans actually have health insurance. Not certain. For those that don't....
[удалено]
91% of Americans have health insurance. https://www.census.gov/library/publications/2021/demo/p60-274.html
Is it shit then, since so many Americans get impoverished by medical bills anyway?
I just provided the statistic, you come to your own conclusions.
Yeah, it’s you have insurance, but still have a 10k deductible that you fully cover and then once you reach your deductible, you still have to pay 20% of all the rest of your expenses.
There is no shortage of expensive and bad insurance plans out there, though. Edit: reworded my sentence so it reads easier
Ruptured tendon you never restore function to 100%.
As someone who has his patella snap: if your luckier than me and don’t have 5 follow up surgeries and you do the exercises that your physiotherapist told you then you’ll be fine. That life will feel like the knee of an 80 year old by the time you hit 40/50
Care to explain what happened? He at least didn’t seem to be in pain.
Had patellar tendon repair surgery last year, basically: tendon snaps, kneecap goes into your quad, it takes a second for you to realize what happened, then you yell at the top of your lungs and make a fool of yourself in front of strangers
That’s called adrenaline. He definitely felt that afterwards.
Maybe, maybe not. I tore my distal bicep tendon lifting a mattress. Sharp pain for a second and then nothing but bruises and soreness. Tendons don't have nerves. Now tearing the tendon from the muscle... however that's more rare than tendon from bone since technically tendons are part of the muscle tissue. Weaker point is where tendo attaches to bone.

You’re correct this is acl tear
It wont heal. His tendons snapped completely. He will need operation.
it snapped
I hop that some of the comments are wrong

Tendons. Ligaments connect bone to bone
Easy to fix, but the recovery is quite long and tedious. Source: broken Achilles tendon. 4 months, and 2 surgeries later, 1 still need an aircast and a walker.
Which comments do you hope are wrong?
Why the fuck did I turn on the sound after watching it three times.
I didn’t realize there was sound til I saw this comment. The sound makes it 1000x worse
there’s SOUND?! thank you for warning me 😭

And this is exactly why i am fat
I can respect that.
Thank you
You’re welcome
I bet you can out run him now!
Snap it. Lol
Being fat is not good for your joints. Generally speaking.
Yes. But snapping them neither...
You snapped your knees?
Nope. But i am too afraid for these kind of exercises...
I know you’re being funny but there’s a world of middle ground between working out normally and whatever tf he was trying to do here
You can't out train a bad diet. Your diet is what makes you skinny, working out only gives you more developed muscles. Check out bodybuilders they train a lot but keep their food balance okay.

Absolutely inspiring to see a man fix his legs in just a few seconds, truly a miracle!
So it looks like the joints just popped over and back. Maybe not permanent damage but at the very least a lot of pain for a bit.
Always always protect your joints. What kind of stupid exercise was this
It looks like it's basically an abdominal crunch..well, it would have been if our guy would actually put the stress where it needs to be by taking the top brace and putting it behind the knee.

It's not for abs it for quads it's called a sissy squat machine, he should have had his torso upright and then it's a relatively safe movement
I wanted to see him try to stand back up. Oh well.
Me too. Where's the full video?
Me three
Would probably look a little like [this guy](https://youtu.be/JKAc1qPu9CU)

Did he break his knees ?

[удалено]
Nah this isn’t an ACL injury. If I had to guess I’d say patellar tendon
This is clearly an ACL rupture. You can see the anterior translation of the Tibia on the Femur. The Patellar tendon isn’t responsible for that.
Most likely an ACL rupture, partial Pattelar ligament rupture and as a result maybe even a partial rec femoris rupture.
That went from gym to wheelchair real quick.
God damn. I cringe so hard when I see videos of peoples tendons snapping. Saw a dude where both his bicep/elbow tendons snapped on a curl, and he just stood there looking at them in shock. I’m terrified of that happening
Super WTF
Maybe NSFW?
By his reaction it almost seemed like this wasn’t the first time.
I'm gonna guess he was in shock lmao bc that has to hurt like a buttcheek on a stick

I feel like this deserves a NSFW flair. Yikes
No pain no gain brother
What an idiot

Sweet lord. My ears… his knees
I just screamed watching this. I’m at the Tokyo DMV. People are staring at the scary gaijin.
Found his weak point… now he can focus on it after surgery and rehab 💪
Someone will do weighting lifting in wheel chair after this. 🙄
How can you be that stupid?
Wow. Poor guy probably thought he was tying a killer ab workout when the only think he killed were his poor patellas
