So this happened...
He was doing a split jerk with 130# which is no problem weight wise for him. This is a standing lift where you lift eh bar to your chest. Then jerk it over your head and then back down to your chest. He did his first rep and brought the bar to his chest. He lost his balance and fell backward. Upon falling with his back to the ground, his elbows also made contact with the ground. Problem was the bar was still in his hands and stopped instantly breaking both wrists.
I picked him up from school and brought him to the ER. Orthopedic set both wrists and put on temporary casts. He goes back Thursday or Friday for a permanent casts that hopefully will be below the elbow. Great day today!
Go Trump!
