Poor girl!

I just came across this video and almost fell out of my chair at work. This girl looks and sounds very young. I'm assuming she is a teenager but I don't know. I would be furious if this was my daughter because this girl is going to hurt herself. Whoever is training her is an idiot.
I know this has no relevance.

Edited to add: She is 27 and has dysautonomia so not a good example. The sad thing is I see so many people at the gy doing stuff like this and they could seriously get injured. It's probably even more important that she have proper form.

At lest proper form... I wouldnt reccomand this to anyone with dysautonomia, but at lest she has the chair and the bars to catch if she slips.0

Technically she should still be able to perform the exercise with her condition unless she has any other considerable issues. But I don't think we can really know the whole story from this one video.0

I didn't see that video and don't know anything about her condition, but I've seen a few videos on you tube of people doing heavy lifts with extremely dodgy form... it's painful to watch

OMG! O.o I always get worried that, as a beginner, I can't spot horrendous form. But that.... SMH. :OI didn't see that video and don't know anything about her condition, but I've seen a few videos on you tube of people doing heavy lifts with extremely dodgy form... it's painful to watchhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0ySblouCKshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9TVFxPUZ6E <-- in this one the trainer is saying "big push" and it's a deadlift .... !!!
Esp. when he starts spastically humping the bar. Very nearly NSFW. Lol.0 -
LOL @ humping the bar and NSFW!!!
Those videos make me astounded at just how curved the human spine can get... I don't think i can even get my back into that position.... never mind attempt to deadlift like it :noway:0 -
Well if you think about curling up in the fetal position and sobbing (for example, after seeing those videos), one would perform this position with a very rounded back.LOL @ humping the bar and NSFW!!!

Also, in yoga, shoulder stand and plow are super curvy spine positions.0 -

I'm certainly not trying to make fun of her. I would be really scared to exercise with dysautonomia. I'm not saying she shouldn't but whoever is coaching her should be helping her with proper form.
I watched some of her other videos and she does other lifts ok. She faints a lot.0 -

True, but reputable yoga teachers and studios have come to realize that the extreme flexion required by those poses is rather dangerous for the neck (the rest of the spine is supposed to be straight in both Sarvangasana and in Halasana). Iyengar does not recommend doing the pose with a 90 degree angle at the neck, and many studios do not let novices practice those poses, or let *anyone* practice them without blankets under the shoulders to protect the neck from extreme flexion.
Those deadlift videos are insane. Even if they are made as a joke, they are extremely dangerous.0 -

I have seen the second one before but the first one, oh my gosh, I was watching that through my fingers, does he have a spine left after that???0
