I'm mean I don't want to see anyone get hurt but seeing someone thrown from a treadmill or fail squats good or a bench when one side of the bar flies up brings joy to me. We have all had that shit happen

Try working out on a moving ship, you'll see plenty of accidents, I've seen people nearly break their necks flying off treadmills, fall of benches mid set when the ship hits some rough swells, some dangerous shit man, brings a whole new meaning to working your stabilizer muscles.

I work on a cruise ship, but don't have hammer strength here dude, not much machines in general, just a lat pulldown, dumbells up to 90lbs. Olympic bar, with a good amount of weights (plates) and a few treadmills and elipticals.

How many months do you stay on that cruise ship?

6 months is a standard contract, then you have options to extend your contract up to 9 months (the most the Coast Guard will allow any Merchant Marine to work at sea with out a vacation), each month extension you get a 1,000 bonus. Most crew members are crying to go home at the 2 month mark. I've done the 9 month extension before (only American in the history of my company to complete 9 months) 270 days of work, 10 hours a day, no day off. Have to have incredible endurance and stamina to do that, only reason I did was to get a longer holiday to train for a national level show.

33 years training, there are a few standouts I'll never forget.
The worst I've ever witnessed in person are:
1. 1989, middle of summer, 90 degrees in the gym, no air, everyone sweating like crazy. Dude was doing EZ lying extensions with a thumb less grip, 90lbs on each side. The bar slipped out of his hands and lands on his mouth, breaking every front tooth. Spotter could not react fast enough. When they took the bar out of his mouth his entire jaw was basically hanging off, blood everywhere, teeth on the floor. Very disturbing scene.
2. 1995, a young fat guy was close grip benching 315 in a ballistic fashion. The old thumb-less grip strikes again. Right after I said to my training partner "he's gonna get hurt" the bar slipped out of his hands (at full lockout) and lands on his upper chest, he starts screaming, about 5 people run over to rescue him. I heard he broke both clavicles. Luckily the bar did not land on his throat. Never saw him again after that.
3. Powerlifting meet circa 1988. Heavyweight class lifter attempting an 805lb squat. Takes it off the rack and walks it out. As he was getting set I could tell something was wrong. As he descended he yells out in pain as his right knee starts bending inwards. He fell to the floor and weight barely missed landing on him. The guy was screaming in agony. He tore all the major knee ligaments and most quad insertions on his right leg.
And no, I did not enjoy seeing any of these.

Around 1978 I trained at my friends giant shed type structure in his back yard. I was doing squats. I got up to 315lbs and I didn't know he oiled the ends of the bar because they were rusting. In a third of a second 3 plates slid off one side and then the other. Sounded like an explosion. Thought I broke every bone in my body. I stood still not moving taking inventory. I was fine.

Ex training partner/gf used to laugh out loud at people getting hurt or falling or whatever. She had a client running on the treadmill one day and must've caught her foot on part of the base next to the belt, falls, and gets shot off the back of the treadmill right into the wall in slow motion like a blooper on TV/YouTube. She's standing right beside her and starts laughing till her stomach hurt and tears csme other eyes... Kinda rude and not s good look, considering our clients were wealthy older ppl and probably not used to being laughed at, especially when they fall and hurt themselves (lady scrapped up her knee, arm,& shoulder and embarrassed herself.
Another time we were in the changing room one day having her do my shots, as I had a hard time reaching my rear delts n glutes... Was putting my.shirt on or something and forgot I still had the pin in my teeth Nd somehow hit the needle with my middle finger and put the 1.5" pin straight through my finger tip. Just missed the nail. I couldn't believe it and just stood there looking at what I'd just done... she just starts laughing loud as fuck till she's doubled over and has tears coming out, again, at my misfortune lol. So much for being quiet and ppl not hearing us. (Was just doing shots that time, but still looks bad if ppl see us in there.)

People who laugh at, or make fun of others misfortunes usually end up getting it back in spades. Karma is a bitch. Do not tempt fate.

I spent 6months before going to prison, and hendidnt get transfer to my cell block until maybe 4 months in... And I dont remember most the guys names. Like they're supposed to be my friends or something. I don't remember the names of a lotnofnthe girls I date, why would I remember dudes? I remember a lot of girls by "bookstore girl", "wells Fargo girl #3", "Cuban girl", "cupcake girl"(owned a cupcake business), and such. Not surprised you can't relate.

Bookstore girl followed me around Barnes & Nobel, had great legs, some of the best ive ever had. 4'11" gymnast. Gave her my biz card intending on training her. She wanted dick. Blond hair and super dark eyed Italian girl. Was going to call state San Bernardino to be an elementary school teacher. Saw her for about a month. I remember her first name.
Wells Fargo girls were personal bankers mostly. There were 4-5 fromnwells Fargo. I remember 3 of their names.
Cuban girl worked at a payday loan centerm. No clue what her name is.
The jealousy reeks off you. Your obsession with me is pathetic. I feel putty for you. Autistic grown man unable to relate to any regular people. You're like the guy who texts a girl 6x a.day for a week straight and.finally shows up at her work to see if she's "ok", and doesn't get the hint. Can't believe you've had sex with more than 2 women in Your life... And something is either wrong with the women, or they regret it the instant they wake up the next day when you're planning your wedding

Nobody cares what you believe.
You're Autistic. Arguing with grown men on the internet.
Things in your life never go as planned cuz you don't have the social skills required to deal with other people, so when you see other people actually "doing shit", you can't figure out why it works for them and not for you.
I knew a guy just like you. Autistic and everything. 2 phd's.and owned his own house by age 26 or 27, yet was still a virgin. Wood talk to girls get their phone number and maybe show up at their work or stock them and meet them on their lunch break and have lunch at the table next to theirs and consider that "dating".
You're the creep the girls make fun of, because on the outside you appear like a regular grown man. However mentally, you're "challenged".... And creepy.

Wrong.
I post a comment, and here your punk add comes quoting me, claiming whatever I said isn't true and trolling.
The minute you see me following you from thread to thread you can say "You are aware that its you thats arguing with me aren't you?".
Goddamn you're an idiot. Fucking autistic dunce.

People tend to forget manipulating heavy weights can be extremly dangerous.
The classical stuff is the guy unloading his bar on one side only sending the bar flying.

do you believe there is a so-called "breaking point" where if a load passes a certain point, say a 200 pound babell curl, that an injury will occur?
AJ beleived this

I dont think its as simple as this. An injury doesnt appear just like this, its the result of slow wear and tear eventually escalating to a tear.
