People do stuff like that doing bicep curles. They grab too much weight and lean back when they curl it.

People trying to be all bad @ss are funny when they lift, because they do some stupid things. I saw watching this guy trying to bench 350, his coach told him not to, but he decided he knew better. He got the bar off the pegs, and then i heard SNAP, and i see the weights fall to the floor. His right pec tore and he just looked at it like "wow...that was stupid."
