No need to do it then ...it's just for braggin rights anyways...no need to put yourself in harms way if it doesn't matter to you...On a personal note I have a reconstructed shoulder and a 1RM of 205 lbs when I weighed 155 lbs...and I was pleased..I guard my shoulder tremdously but you'de be surprised what you can accomplish with stricked form playing a major role...P.S. thanks for the reps earlier I can't seem to get off the 2 green mark...:crazy:
