5 mistakes holding back your bench press gains you should fix
These form snafus can prevent you from a big max—or could lead to injury. Make sure you're pressing the right way.
We brought you a story a few weeks ago of seemingly the craziest pimple-popping video of all time that involved bikini-clad women, Fireball shots and a stream of yellow pus.
Well, as the world works, a new video has emerged that puts the previous one to shame and has claimed the title of the grossest pimple-popping ever.
The video shows Syrian surgeon Osama Makkia popping an enormous abscess drained from the right side of a patient’s jaw. We watched the video, and we have to warn you – it’s not a pretty sight. If you’re about to have lunch, you should probably wait until after to watch it.
This was not a quick procedure whatsoever: Dr Makkia reported to the Daily Mail he was scraping out excess pus from the abscess for 20 minutes afterwards. While the patient was pain-free during the operation, he spent the next three days recovering.
“Unfortunately, abscesses are very common and I have done several similar procedures in the past. I predict this won’t be the last,” said Dr Makkia.
