    Re: Bench press

    was your finger broke after that incident last week or something, maybe not wise to bench press with that could put some nasty pressure on it.

    I mean you don't have any pressure on your fingers except for the pressure you do yourself. I for one have my hands half open when benchpressing. I feel more comfortable with that. No big deal.

    otherwise known as the suicide grip, for obvious reasons :P

    1 bad finger shouldnt effect ur grip too much though, i cant grip at all with the ring finger on my right hand

    tough guys >.>

    Only do some working out once a week, mostly to support my regular training, meaning hardly any real weights training.

    Meh, I try to avoid those benches. I always have visions where the bar crushes my head.

    Re: Bench press

    My visions are more like my spotter walks away for a few seconds, I lift my last lift and my arms just spasm..I drop the bar and it lands on my throat, crushing my esophagus and then I bleed out of my mouth and die a little bit after of suffocation.


    Not a particularly beautiful sight..but hey. I still lift though, but I dont go over 300 pounds because..well...I dont need huge muscles to live, and I just don't want to accidentally drop the bar on my throat.




    Makes me wonder how much fun it would be to suddenly find out you have epilepsy while driving a car.

    Hrmm...

    I have also just started to get training again, and I also blame the sun heh, although im door supervisor so a little extra size is never frowned upon :).

    Started loading on creatine and getting plenty of protein and already seeing nice gains after just 2 weeks :)
