Deadly bench press - man dead

Saw a kid doing suicide grips today in the gym. Scrawny kid too much weight. Dangerous.

I use suicide grips extensively, never feels dangerous, and my wrists like it better. But I'm paranoid and I pay attention.

Are you a scrawny kid using too much weight? That is dangerous.

??? was that a joke? I wasn't invalidating your point, newbies do a lot of weird stuff they shouldn't.

I don't try for any 1RM activities, set my weights for what I can do 10 reps with so it's good.

Sure if I have some muscle tear in the middle of the exercise, yeah, then I'm SOL. But I'd be in trouble regardless of grip if that happens.

I was spotting someone who was all cocky about there strength. I was trying to put them in line, by saying to work your way up and dont be a ego lifter. Well I said to put 135 on the bar and he said no and went for 185. He never lifted and said he can do 185 easy. I did everything I could to stop him. I eventualy let him do it because how he was being. He lifted it up and I was standing there and he dropped it on his mouth. I quickly got it up but there isnt much I could have done. It was ridiculous, He doesnt bench anymore.
