I read where Adam Archuleta, in order to build explosive strength, will let go of the bar at the top of his bench press.
I was warming up. I had 135 on the bar, and I had a great idea: try what Adam Archuleta does. So I did.
FYI - make sure you catch the bar - 'cause it hurts like hell when you miss.
Ouch. Sounds like you’re going to have a new friend. Smith Machine.
Don’t feel too bad. I’m sure we’ve all had our painful and/or embarrassing moments in the gym. I saw a kid doing seated rows one time when the cable strap snapped and he did a complete somersault(sp?) off the bench backwards.
you’re kidding … right? please?
Yikes.
CT wrote about doing that on the Smith machine in at least one article. That would probably be a little safer.

I really, really wish I was kidding - but it’s the truth.
I realize now, that maybe some folks just aren’t supposed to be left alone in a gym.
He also lets go of the bar and catches it before it hits his chest (Freak of Nature video.)
Maybe you should try that out.

this post wasn’t really appropriate, considering that the starter of the thread was already sarcastically making fun of himself… I guess you missed that…
