I wasn't sure whay meant. Thier are alot of injuries in powerlifting especially in the guys pushing the most weight. I think this has alot too do with the amount of gear people are wearing. I think if you look at the single ply feds it is going to be less injuries and then when you get into the drug testing feds even less. Thier are also tons of injuries in upper level strong man, boxing, MMA, and bodybuilding. When i used to follow bodybuilding people were getting hurt all the time.

bodybuilders get hurt because they're following powerlifting principles..otherwise this would not happen.And bodybuilders have no benefits at all by trying to break PRs of 1 rep max..now if he or she goes for PR in reps done thats a different story..btw, im not trashing powerlifters since i respect them (you) but these kids gotta stop going for weight instead of form and # of reps performed.
again, im not saying go light but no need for sets of 1,2,3 reps if youre a bodybuilder.

lifting that heavy without proper form isnt likely lol . serious powerlifters work on their form constantly.
oh btw ronnie coleman trains a lot powerlifter style and he turned out ok

C'mon man ,how many guys you've seen trying deadlift more than they can handle rounding their back and all, squatting or moving all around when bench pressing to get that 1 single rep up..ridicolous and for what???........Ronnie Coleman eh, a genetic freak but also fucked his chances of winning the O for the 9th time due to a lat injury and fucked up-non existence triceps..i wonder what happened..you want more, Dorian Yates ,his style of training cut his career short, tons of injuries and both of these were on heavy ass cycles of AAS and really are/were freaks..imagine what could happen to Joe from the block.

your absolutely right , i should have stuck with one fingered concentration curls lol. you say colemans and yates heavy lifting shortened their career but whos to say their career would have been what it was without that lifting . i seriouslly doubt either would have ever atained the muscle mass/thickness without lifting maxx tonnage.

maybe..who knows? maybe you coulda built a better physique than what you have right now...not one fingered but actually concentration curls..dont take what im saying wrong and to the extreme.
those guys were going to be champions regarless..there are tons of dudes out there who lift heavier and crazier than Ronnie and Dorian and theyre not as big nor developed like them.

yeah that sucks about Ronnie when you think about it. As far as I know hes never really had any major injuries up to his lat & tri problems. How the hell did he mess them both up though? Youre right they wouldve both been champions regardless...but it seems those years of heavy lifting finally was starting to take its toll. The human body is only flesh & bone. I dont care who you are everything will add up over time :smoker:
