Well, all I can say is that this thread isnt solely about what you did, its about proper technique and injuries. Your case was just an example that I used to get a quality, in-depth discussion going. I ceased replying to you because your ego got involved, and you started with insults and putdowns. That is not how this board operates. You stated that I dont even workout, yet you know damn well that I do. You also called me a troll, simply for disagreeing with you. You see how many posts I made? I'm not avoiding anyones questions, I just gave priority to those who were willing to discuss the issue calmly and openly. But if you want me to go right down the line with your points, here we go:
Its good that you kept the bar at your shins, if you hadnt, the leverage on your hamstring would have been a lot stronger and the tear a lot worse. Its simple, the bar needs to stay as vertical as possible. Any back and forth movement, beyond the bare minimum needed to clear the knees, is unnecessary and can cause injuries.
