BTW...sacrafice weight to maintain good form. If you are squirming to get the weight up then decrease the weight. My buddy just blew his shoulder out trying to keep up with my bench press dispite my warning him. Now he can't do anything with that arm for 6 months. It's better to check your pride at the door and be sensible.

Amen to this. Be careful if you're weight training, good form is a must, proper warm up is a must. to grow you have to work hard and long enough get sore, strained so your body can rebuild stronger - anything less is basically pointless, however you have to be safe about it. Get a workout partner that will spot you, watch your form and allow you to go to failure so you will get something out of your efforts.
I ripped a tendon in my right leg doing squats not properly warming up almost 2 years ago. It was 315LBS - I've been over 405 for years. Sucks and I'm still not recovered fully.
