He was squatting about 300 lbs. when the ligaments and tendons supporting his knee gave way. The weight, still on his shoulders, caused his knee to buckle to the side, and forced his fibula and tibia to ride up next to his femur as the weight collapsed his leg. All of which leads me to my point: In the words of Clint Eastwood--"A man's got to know his limitations." __________________ DFL>DNF>DNS ™ The Fish Blog The Fish Training Log ...and for God's sake, get a decent pair of shoes!

It is quite possible he won't ever use that leg again! __________________ Jean-Paul Francoeur www.jpfitness.com http://forums.jpfitness.com "Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do.
