That USC RB a few years ago dropped the bar during a bench press and crushed his trachea.

 

Not kidding. As a soph, my elbows went in on bench and came down on my face, like a nosebuster, but by accident. Crushed 6 of my upper teeth. Still had nightmares until a few years ago.

 

Pretty sure you would not live to collect the money. That's a shit ton of weight.

 

Stafon Johnson. Dropped 275 lbs straight onto his neck.

Worked his way back, signed with the Titans as an undrafted free agent. Then his ankle got demolished in a preseason game.

 

Dammit.

Looks like my ankle/lower leg in college. Brings back memories.

 

Warm up set for me.

When do we get videos of using real weight?

 

I maxed out at 405 in the Army many years back. I shit on myself a little the last quarter of the way up ... true story.

Never tried it again. Couldn't take the pre-lift constructive criticism from my "buddies".

 

Thats a lot. I'm 5'11 but 36 sleeve length so bench has never been easy
