Irish thanks, I've seen some of Jeff's shows. My problem wasn't the exercise or weight. It was my spotter. My partner had to be away that day and I got one of the other guys to help out. This young chapp stepped up and gave me an unexpected lift out of the rack and when I caught up to it I'd gotten the bar too far out. As I tried to correct the bar it turned to one side and I had no leverage so it dropped against my chest pinning my left arm at an odd angle. My "spotter" hadn't even noticed. He was focused on a pair of lycra shorts worn by a young lady adjusting her weight pins on the Universal machine. Lesson learned, NEVER work the heavy stuff with a partner you don't know and trust. I woke up the next morning and couldn't even lift my arm. Luckily enough it doesn't bother me now but it was months before I got over that one screwup.
