Were you ever so close to snapping your shit up that it's

Me 2 days ago:
>doing ohp
>lmao1pl8 for sets
>almost lock out at top
>lose balance and weight goes behind my center of gravity
>split second decision I dropped it behind me and ducked under
>it was loud as fuck and everyone looked but at least I didn't snap my spine

Holy shit are you me? This happened to me last Wednesday.

I actually was able to recover my balance and lock at the top (I "bounced" into position naturally), but for a split second I really felt that my lower back muscles giving up.

>OHP
>lock out

are you supposed to lock your elbows on ohp?

Mark Rippletits will say yes
However, lockout means something else to him. Just don't overextend your elbows.

If you have normal elbows, then lock them out. If either one can hyperextend, you will need to avoid lockout for safety sake.

According to Rippetoe, the key to lockout is in the traps ("the traps hold the bar" " always finish with a shrug")

Cadio Jesus was looking out for me that day

Not me, but I did watch some skelly passing out
while doing Triceps Cable Pushdowns.
He fainted and a crashing sound was heard all over the gym
