True story

All these death can be combined with one statement - kids use a full thumb grip and fuck the clamps

Pro Wrestler Dick the Bruiser died from a bench pressing accident.  Grew up watching him on Mid Atlantic Wrestling...mostly showed older matches from the 60's and 70's

It was what the LAPD suspected happened on an episode of Columbo until the clever but disheveled Lieutenant figured out that Robert Conrad covered up a murder by faking a bench press accident.

Yeah, but half of his injuries he got while playing for the Green Bay Packers as a lineman and it was during the 50's when they really played pretty rough.  Here's the video where they talked about his accident.  At the last 2 minutes of it, they give the details as to what happened.  He popped a vessel in his neck bench pressing

My dad worked with him at Diamond Chain in Indianapolis. My dad only worked there 2 days then got fired for beating the shit out of his boss. He lost a few jobs that way, he did not take no shit. RIP Dick and Dad.

a few  that i heard of, i saved a guy once he was declining in gold's gym, bar was across his neck. i waited till he turned blue than i pulled it off him just in case he was training to absolute failure, which is number 187 of the weider training principles. he thanked me and ran out of the gym probably never to return.
