Weird question, but how many BBers of the past have had severe gym related injuries? Torn pecs, bis, tris, etc.. I know Bannout had a torn tricep, but that was from a motorcycle accident. Likewise with Franco injuring his leg, but that was not from training.
Seems like BBers today are more injury prone than their predecessors. I guess a case could be made for the more moderate training style people followed back then as opposed to the HIT and DC methods today.
