PSG1,
good points.. when blasting a lot of poundage on free weights.. Have a Spotter!
(preferably someone who can actually get the bar off your chest! trust me!)

I still do even after ripping both peck muscles benching. I was 208 lbs and benched 405 lbs for two reps. The next week both peck gave away. I bench much now but I still keep after it. Be careful cause no matter your experience or knowledge it can bite you fast.

I had a spotter but he couldn't react fast enough. You heard the pop and it dropped. It took two guys to get it off of me. I then stood up, took a few steps, fell to one knee and almost passed out. After I got my head back I drove myself the the ER (should have called an ambulance). Waited in the ER for like 2 hours. I was 35 years old at the time. Saw four different doc's and after a 105 minute MRI they gave me a bunch of Vicodine and said good luck. I was told the most common ripped muscle is the bicep. I think my down fall was my ego. Always bigger and more weight. I have a small frame so it's been hell trying to pack on size. Weighed a hole 135lbs. when I graduated high school. If I would give anyone advice about weight's I would say more is not always better and high reps and low weight and really build muscle with the right diet.

I curl shot glasses of scotch three times a week for about an hour each time.

I do 3 two minute abb workouts during the week in bed with the wife.


I spend the rest of the time yelling at the kids to stop destroying the house.

when you have a full time job and kids, your workouts are the above if your lucky.

That is good advice. I know a guy who says 100 reps of 100 lbs doing squats is like taking steroids. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> So I stick with low weights and high reps with squats.

12 oz of Bourbon!!! Holy Cat Scat!!! That'a alot of liqour!
