what lift scares you?

THE SCARIEST LIFT

Underhanded Bench Press
especially when you start pushin some serious weight, I never do this unless I got a real reliable (and strong) spotter.

I for one witness someone breaking his back doing heavy squats and this guy was Freakin' Huuge!!..
He was paralyzed from the neck down and is now in a vegetated state. I still only do light squats and substitute other workouts for my back workouts.
I would try to avoid serious injury anyway possible.
It would really suck if you end up hurtin yourself and wouldnt be able to workout in awhile. All that progress would go to waste.

I would have to say that the bench is the most intimidating for me. I try and always use a spotter when I go heavy. What cracks me up is when I see these newbies in the gym and the guy loads two 10 pound plates on the bar and require the help of their buddy to spot them. Now we all had to start somewhere but when these pansis are grunting and huffing which resemble the sounds of animals thats when I think what a bunch of fuckin loosers. And to top it off when they are both done with their set they congradulate each other on such a heavy lift then check out their 140 pound physiques in the mirror, thinking they just gained 10 pounds of muscle in 1 set. Like I said what a bunch of pansis.

I reckon skullcrusher is a pretty scary name for a lift.

hardgainer (pump)

 

[rgosit]

heavy dumbell bench

some times u loose it when ur failing and it can come down on u...even with a spotter

 

[goahead]

have to go with deads,,

I have a LEGITIMATE excuse not to do deads often
(and only as last part of the workout) because i have some disc concerns in the lower back area resulting from car accident 12 years ago....


I really have to build up slowly deads and bent rows with perfect style before i hit heavy or my lower back will not forgive me, building up basic lower back endurance and strength with religious program of hyperextensions one month before i cruise into free barbells helps a lot

I DO heavy squats , but i can maintain semi-erect posture (barbell lower than usual) so i not as much lower back concern here

All this talking has given me a dry mouth, maybe some GHB in Beer will help ....

Heavy squats. They get especially scary when I start to see spots from lack of oxygen. Christ Endpoint, I'm honestly not sure if I'm ever going to be able to do squats again. Thanks a lot, now wtf am I gonna do?
