Ramis first workout after the Olympia

Yes I think dumbell can be safer provided you don't flare your elbows. Look at the third and fourth slide here:

Hammers are built in a way you can't flare your elbows, angled handles and so on. If you are very big and can't get into pressing position easily there might be small risk after having done the last rep and you get that extra stretch racking the weight. But never saw anyone tear something on it.

Wide grip incline benches with elbows flared is probably the most dangerous exercise. I'm sure you saw that guy in Dubai get hurt a while back.

Good to know, thank you.

Every time i've torn a muscle it was doing a relatively easy set.

I've never had a full tear, but ruptured fibers in my biceps, triceps, lats, teres and hamstrings many times.

Hamstring tears are extremely painful. Had a softball sized bruise and swelling for 6 weeks after some glute/ham raises.

Were you performing those reps explosively?

Were you performing those reps explosively?

From the best of my knowledge, yes.

Nothing out of the ordinary though.

I do remember tearing a lat just by doing slow controlled weighted chins.

At the bottom of the movement i felt a pop and tear with a burning sensation.

Nothing i hadn't done many times before.

Thanks for the answer and sorry to hear about all of your injuries bro. Thank God I've never had an injury from weight training, just from basketball, had two knee surgeries.
