Elite Coach Joins Millions in Mourning Demise of 25 YO Boy Who Died Under Insurmountable Weights

The man under the bar was Mr. Zhang, who was benching without a spotter by his side. As the incident took place in a local gym in Wuhan, many from the fitness and bodybuilding community expressed their grief over the situation. Among these people was also IFBB pro coach, Greg Doucette, who made a video about the same in order to educate the audience about the importance of using safety bars as well as having a spotter.

Greg Doucette gives his two cents on the tragic incident

Greg Doucette has been lifting since his teenage years. Having competed in both powerlifting and bodybuilding, Doucette has enough knowledge and experience when it comes to powerlifting. In his video, he explained the importance of having a spotter while attempting bench press.

In the absence of a spotter, he suggests using safety bars. Talking about the tragic incident, however, Doucette started the video by giving a disclaimer.


“Warning: graphic details. Do not watch this video if you’re squeamish. This is a very tragic death, very scary, and so please don’t watch this video if you don’t want to see anything tragic,” Doucette stated.


Later in the video, Greg also pointed out, “In this case, there was nothing he could do. The weight far exceeded his capacity to push it up. He wasn’t even close. You saw him try to lift the weight up, but it wasn’t close.”
