Bench Press accident

after this accident. It was NOT the spotter's fault, it was my fault. I was using a dangerous grip. I used the thumbs-under grip for many years with never so much as a "close call".

Probably 1% of the commenters will read this. I am not an ego lifter, as far as I can help it anyway. This lift was part of a friendly lifting contest ...
