A personal coach has warned of the dangers of “ego raising” after she claims to destroy a better personal in the gym and left her hospitalized – when she grabbed her right hip bone.
Kristina Schmidt, 24, began to include hip hip inserts into her gym routine in an attempt to increase her glutes as she saw her favorite fitness impacts running for training.
But after working quickly her way to a better personal of 310 lbs. In March 2023, she developed agonizing pain in her right hip that “felt as if someone was lifting her leg.”
At one point the pain became as bad as Kristina was left “crying with every single step” and was eventually unable to stroll.
Kristina visited her doctor and had a MRI scanning before referring to the hospital.
The footage shows that it was carrying out high impact impetus that, over time, caused a fracture that is believed to have been caused by lifting a very severe weight with an incorrect shape.
After being struck by blood poisoning, when her broken hip was infected, Kristina underwent surgery to clear the wound and needed a three-month course of antibiotics.
Now, Kristina wants to warn of preventing others from going through the same experience.
“I wanted to look cute in front of my gym friends,” said Kristina, from Malibu, California.
“Most of which I could raise was 310 pounds for eight repetitions and I would usually do two groups of this, but it was terrible and not properly engaged my glutes.
“If I had been able to raise it properly, then it would have been impressive, but I was just shaking it.
“In January I was setting up only 245-265 lbs. And then until March it was already up to 310 lbs., Which was probably very fast in Hindsight. It was a lot.”
In March Kristina, who was studying Japanese language, politics and economy at Hokkaido University in Hokkaido, Japan, went one day with Paul and began fighting to walk due to hip pain.
“I remember going on a car ride with my friends and I couldn’t walk,” she said.
“I was crying with every single step. My gly felt as if someone was trying to take my leg lifting me. It was a terrible pain, I couldn’t stop crying and my friend had to take me home.
“Doctors said I had a fracture of stress with small cracks in many places around the neck of the femur and hip knot. They said it was possible by the constant overload of my hip over time with a lot of heavy weights and shape inaccurate.
“The space between the hip bone and the femur shrunk so much that my bones were grinding each other.
“I then took a bacterial infection that was placed in the hip – the weakest and most compromised part of my body at the time – made the synovial fluid in the hip joint turn orange, and resulted in septic arthritis and poisoning from blood of the blood border line.
“I needed surgery to clean the knot and after that I was in crutches and I still couldn’t walk for weeks.
“I was put on antibiotics for months, which destroyed my intestinal microbioma, weakened my immune system and caused a domino effect of other health issues.”
Kristina began working in the gym in 2021 and implemented the construction movement in its routine about 18 months later after being inspired by social media influencers.
Since her accident, Kristina, who once worked as an English teacher, began her personal training and food qualifications and would be fully qualified in May 2025.
“I just saw people doing hip and hip online. I never saw people talking about what to do if you are four dominant, like me,” she said.
“It was more of an approach of a suitable size, like,” If you want big glutes, then you have to do that. “But not everyone has the same muscle genetics.
“I think the muscular imbalance was a great thing that made me destroy my shape in the introduction of the hip because when the weights became too severe for what I could treat in good shape, the most developed muscles – in my case , Quads and hamstrings – would take over to complete the elevator.
“But that imbalance and overestimation from quadrants and hamstrings ended up making tremendous pressure on my hip area, causing stress fractures over time.”
Instead of focusing on the right form and technique, Kristina was quickly gathering in weights in an effort to impress her gym friends.
She quickly added 30 kg to her weights, working her way from 245 lbs. to 310 lbs. Hip enters in just a few months.
“Raising the ego has always been an online meme,” she said. “You see the pec muscles that break away when someone stains very heavy, or one’s back is broken when they are deadly – these are all immediate injuries.
“No one talks about the slow burning of damage as a stress fracture – which, unlike a current fracture, can often go unnoticed – and how it leads to a domino effect of other health issues.”
After injuring herself Kristina admits she was “scared” to return to the hip, but has since reduced the weight she lifts in half.
“The accident definitely inspired me to become a personal trainer,” she said. “I focus more on making slower repetitions for a greater time under tension and sometimes even adding half of the repetitions and keeping the hip push on top and go to failure.
“I now make hip hip push impetus almost exclusively in the Smith machine because I don’t have to worry about balance and can focus on form and time and time under tension.
“I really focus on control. Now I’m hip throwing 152 bs, taking enough literally taking 310 lbs. and cutting it in half.
“There are days when my shape may be a little far away and I can say it’s out because my quads or my hamstrings will start taking over.
“So I know it’s not okay and I know I have to lower the weight or adjust the distance the bench is from the bar (in the Smith car) and try again. I really try to check with myself after each group. “
Now, Kristina wants to warn others about the risks of getting too big to impress others and get her information on how to get up only from social media.
“I’m sorry I have social media as one of my main sources of information then,” she said.
“With some of these influencers, you don’t even know whether their glutes are true or not and are actually built into the gym or not, or whether they are certified as instructors and actually understand the mechanics after what should to increase the muscles correctly and safely.
“You have to be careful enough about what you see online now. Just working for a person doesn’t mean it works for everyone.
“Having guidance from someone who is certified and who knows what they are doing is really important.
“The hip hip in myself is not a bad exercise and I do not want to intimidate, or discourage people to try it, in all ways, try it, but the whole issue is to do so responsibly.”
After sharing a video with the details of her Instagram injury, the clip went viral, accumulating more than 19,170,000 views, likes and comments.
“Just to be sure: this happened because I was used a lot of weight not because the exercise is bad, right? Lmao, ”wrote one user.
“Everyday in this app I unlock a new fear,” commented another, while a third added: “The first rule before going to the gym is … leave your ego at home.”
“I had a similar thing. My quads were stronger than my hamstrings and glutes, and one day I got up in a park and torn and sprayed all my ligaments and tendons in my hip flexor … work From the boys of the bridge, ”said another.
