I had surgery on my AC joint about 20 years ago...

At the time, my ortho told me to stop lifting heavy...told me my joints couldn't support it...

Didn't listen, of course.

Actually hit my all-time max around 42 or 43 at 345...was maxing out and felt a tremendous pain on my ribs.

Went back to my ortho..he asked what I was lifting...he said, "You got lucky.  Just a pulled muscle.  And, maybe you will be one of the lucky ones who never gets seriously hurt.  But, odds are that one of these times you will come in to see me and you will have completely torn the pectoral muscle or done some other catastrophic damage.  Your body frame is simply too small to be lifting that type of weight."

I listened.  Now, nothing over two plates.  Ever.  Regardless of exercise.  Bench, squat, dead...

Also discovered yoga about 10 years ago...and hot yoga about a year ago...do it religiously...best thing I've ever done...

To those of you still throwing around a lot of weight...awesome and just stay healthy...
