Hey bros, just want to let everyone know I almost died today. I dropped 380 lbs on my chest today from the fully extended position. It hurt like hell. I was doing my routine flat bench pyramid with weight I have been comfortable with for a while. anyway, the wierdest shit happened. I took my liftoff and started down slowly and about 2 inches down my wrists folded and the bar rolled off my hands onto my chest bouncing 2 times on my midsection. holy shit that hurt bad. I thought I was dead since I couldnt breathe or move. Just wanted to pass this on so someone can learn from this, no matter how easy the weight may be to press, something else on your body might give out on you during your lift. My spotter is pretty good guy but he was very surprised this happened since he mainly doesnt need to help until my last set. kind of like warming up with medium weight, not really ready for problems. I got some morphine and vicatin along with 6 severely bruised ribs, a bruised left lung and a bruised spleen. I am not sure what I will feel like tomorrow, but I am not looking forward to waking up. Feels like I got ran over by a semi. cant breathe deeply, or turn my steering wheel while driving home. See you guys. I am gonna be out on the sidelines for a while. Sucks because I am in post cycle right now 2 weeks out and I put on some quality mass and got pretty leaned and ripped as well. I might walk on treadmill for long time. See ya, this morphine is making me ramble I think.

While Doing Shoulder Presses With A Moderate Weight, I Had That Happen. I Had Torn My Rotator Cuff In My Right Shoulder, Had To Pretty Much Stop Working Out Mid Cycle And Really Have Not Been The Same Since. About A Year Since And I Am Just Now Able To Start Lifting Heavy Again

no, just gripping with ring finger at the rings ( on this bar) I have heard this happening to people with suicide/false grip. Never heard of wrists giving like mine did. It felt horrible. It has happened to me 2 other times but I always caught it before trouble happens. I dont want to sound like I am bragging, but I dont even think that is "heavy" for me anymore. I just wonder how long I am out of lifting. Kind of depressing. To top it all off, I get gyno surgery dec. 3rd to put me out an additional 4 weeks. WTF? when it rains it fucking poors I guess.

Yeah, everything was perfect, just dropped 13 lbs of body fat, put about 30 lbs on bench, 1/2 inch on arms, and making 2xxl shirts look like extra smalls, getting lots of compliments on looking good and ripped at 265 by all the ladies and bros. feeling great and then dropped that shit on my chest and threw a monkey wrench into it all This SUCKS!!!

Awww sorry to hear that. Reminds of a story of some guy on this board forgot his name, he was benching 185 as a warmup and dislocated his bicep which sent a chain reaction all the way up his arm into his neck.
Good Luck with your recovery.

Fuck Bro!! I almost did that one time, but luckily my spotter caught it before I totally lost it. Hope you have a speedy recovery and get back there and eat that bar

BTW, what is that chicks name in your avatar?, she is F.I.N.E.
