Knees: Torn connective tissue/cartilage, sprain. 4. Pectorals: Strain/sprain, torn. 5. Herniated muscle: Anywhere on the body, but especially abdominal, groin. Of course, this doesn't include damage done by dropping weights, such as a smashed foot, dislocated sternum, crushed wind pipe, etc........LOL! -------------- Michael Trample the weak; hurdle the dead!
