I remember the Dino Bravo attempt. Didn't Jessie the Body Ventura end up helping him? Then he got back on the mic and was talking how he only had a pinkie on the bar helping him guide it up. That was funny.
And, in regards to warming up for the bench, what's the big deal about doing a few curls? I prefer to masterbate a time or two myself before any heavy lifting, seems to get the blood flowing but sometimes people at the gym don't appreciate it.
