damn bro...just...damn.

[Ernst]

Damn, that could have gone a lot worse... glad you're okay.

That would have been a scary experience, best of luck shaking that crap and getting back to training (maybe with a spot in the future).

I've had a few close calls, once I only managed to get one side racked and the other side came crashing down to the floor, but fortunately although the bar was on my neck it wasn't pressing to tightly, I was able to wriggle out.

[FREAK]

Damn, that could have gone a lot worse... glad you're okay.

thats what the doc said it could have been alot worse!A few years ago a couple towns over a kid died samething no one around couldnt get it off pretty scary!

[Dukkit]

[MaNofSteeL]

[Skully44420]

holy shit freak!! glad you are ok bro.

[FREAK]

275 isnt max i was only on my second set. just wierd how my arm gave out like that

[ghettoboyd]

i take it the doctors couldent find any medical reason why your arm gave out.did thay?it sounds like a freak thing pardon the pun.anyways just hearing the story scared me into being more carefull.glad your ok bro.

[FREAK]

my arm giving out really wasnt a big concern of thiers they were more worried about my neck

[FREAK]

well this kinda throws a wrench in my training

[ghettoboyd]

understandable,i was just curious.

[FREAK]

to tell ya the truth after i told them what happend that was the last time my arm was mentioned

[Slin Ninja]

glad you okay...ouch.

[FREAK]

next time i see those two kids im gonna shake thier hands!Embarrising or not

[VeraDeMilo]

Damn... I would definitely go back and thank those two kids that helped you out.

[FREAK]

[FREAK]

[FREAK]

if i ever do go bigsexy is in charge of my cleavage thread

[Panzerfaust]

Man, i'm glad you did not get hurt but goddamn FREAK, you know better than that shit. No spotter? It's not about not being a "*****", its about lifting safe and preventing injuries man, you know this.

[FREAK]

i hear ya bro ^^^^

[FREAK]

i dont usally grab a spot till 3-4 sets tho

[Chode Logan]

Glad you're still with us, that's scary as hell man. Decline is sketchy for me, puts my arms in a weird place and this has just confirmed my idea of not doing it!

[redz]

Good to hear you didnt do major damage. These thigns happen sometimes your body just isnt in the right gear for heavy lifting. I once fell flat to the ground trying to squat 400lbs when I was 16. I bought more weights and figured I can do 295 20 times so 400 will be easy......with no warm up lol. fortunately I had a squat rack with safety bars. I could have broken my neck without the bars in.

[abbot138]

Craziness bro. Glad your alright (relatively speaking). Could have been worse. DB Decline when you get back at it

[xlxBigSexyxlx]

Psh, I could bench that with 1 arm. Time to man up FREAK.


lol jk.


at least your breathing buddy! Hope you recover well

[zimmy]

dude...the cleavage thread wouldn't have been the same without you

[xlxBigSexyxlx]

if i ever do go bigsexy is in charge of my cleavage thread

Sir, I would be so honored.

But lets not let it get to that point!

[FREAK]

thanx bro's

[warchild]

crazy bro, glad to hear your ok tho

[DSM4Life]

You picked a decline bench press to kill yourself on = g@y



This is why i never have/will bench BB by myself.

[Rugger02]

Wow, glad you're ok bud. Don't let this fvck with your mind tho. Keep liftin like the freak you are, just be careful.


Did you at least get your PWO meal in before the ER?


LOL Just playin Just playin

[FREAK]

needless to say i never hit shoulders

[WARMachine]

Smith machine bro...

When its late at night, and no one to spot you, smith machine...

[rockinred]

sounds pretty crazy... good to hear that your not damaged...

I'm w/ rugger on not letting it get you down in the gym. Had it happen to me on a decline....stuck on my neck, felt like dweeb... guys came running and yelling like if I was dead.... quite embarrasing but i was back as soon as possible... learned to have a new appreciation of my limits...

you better stick to the lil mans 135 on the bb....leave the big boy weight for me..




just messin w/ ya, but you should check out the arm... that is what would keep me concerned for the future.

[Older lifter]

Glad your ok, Damn man you must have a hell of a neck to take that........
