Welp...hope he doesn't die- not while I'm here at least. At least he's using the rubber olympic plates, that way if he falls, the weights (while crushing his body) won't make too much noise or damage the floor." He was doing 185 on these "functional" deads, nearly falling backwards several times. He definitely was not using his legs at all and has some of the worst form I've ever seen, completely bent at the waist just to reach the bar on the ground from on top of the ball. -------------- I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is the moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle-victorious. --Vince Lombardi "Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange for it.

Makes a boxer lady stand on one and punch a bag...just waiting for the day she falls off. -------------- \"The eight laws of learning are explanation, demonstration, imitation, repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition, and repetition\" You have to learn to follow, before you can lead.
