Nobody gets any dirty looks.
Well at my gym, if you even think about curling in the squat rack, vicious midgets go to your house and rape your girlfriend, and then kick your dog. Then they track you down and kick at your knees.
Maybe your gym just isn’t hardcore?[/quote]
I thought you and Mr Popular trained together.
Benching with no spotter, kills several people a year.
Skull crushers - nuff said.

Of course we don’t, that is ridiculous.
Are you trying to engage us in some sort of WITTY BANTER!?
I’ve torn my meniscus twice doing heavy squats. The last time I also had a partial tear in my acl.
hahahaha

Must’ve had awful technique–there’s nothing inherently dangerous about squatting.
That unsupported Leg press has got to be the worst, those to have done it must have had balls the size of boulders, or been incredibly stupid. I’m glad people have gotten rid of that one, otherwise I would say suicide benching heavy weight, I absolutely hate to see that one performed, even if a spotter is there you can still be fucked.

your supposed to build up using that grip, many bodybuilders still do it its perfectly safe for some people. The ones I see get in trouble is people trying to use it for max attempts when not even used to it, very dangerous that way.
doing one legged weighted overhead squats while trying to check out that hot babe straining at that thigh adductor at the same time is probably the most dangerous

That is absolutely the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen in my life.
A lot of people think the bench press is more dangerous than it really is. If you search youtube for bench press accidents, you’ll get plenty, but if you pay attention you’ll notice that most people who really fuck up do so because they’re using the suicide grip. Overall weightlifting has a pretty low injury rate. I have to say I wince every time I see someone drop the weight after a clean.

Thats just a an invitation to get your ass kicked if your guilty of that! God, that infuriates me to know end…
DB Cock crushers.
I recently spotted a guy at my gym doing bodyweight squats on the largest size ball. To his right was a concrete pillar, just in front of him were two huge racks of dumbbells. He’s not going to keep that up for long without spilling some gray matter.
On the United States All-Round Weightlifting Association site I found this little gem. It starts sane enough but then…
E32. Lano Lift
Using a standard Olympic bar, bring the bar from the floor to a position resting on the clavicles or the chest above the nipples or on the arms fully bent. On command, press or jerk the bar to fully extended arm’s length overhead. Lower the bar behind the neck to a position at rest on the shoulders at the base of the neck. Bend the torso forward about 45 degrees and release the hand’s grip on the bar. Quickly extend the arms, palms up, alongside the torso, balancing the bar on the shoulders and extended arms.
Allow gravity to slowly roll the bar down the back until it rolls off over the buttocks. Catch the bar in the hands at arms’s length. Stand erect, holding the bar in the hands, then shrug the bar into position higher than the top of the buttocks. Bending the knees, lean forward until the head is a little lower than the bent knees. Release the hand’s grip on the bar, extending the arms backwards alongside the torso to help control the bar as gravity rolls it towards a position on the shoulders at the base of the neck. Regrasp the bar and stand erect. Jerk or press the bar to arm’s length, remaining motionless for two seconds. A command is given to return the bar to the floor.
there are no “dangerous” exercises, only “dangerous” people in the gym.
guns don’t kill people, people kill people.

not really there is a reason the unsupported deadlift is no longer performed and was very rarely performed. Some exercises are just easier to injure yourself on since they are harder to perform.
guns don’t kill people, i kill people…
Heavy Upright Rows.
It’s not a question of “Will I get hurt?”, rather its “When I get hurt”.
Too bad they are such an awesome movement.

this along with that leg press and a whole host of other old school olympic lifts.
My vote is for the “two hands anyhow”
