I agree. Its just one of those simple things that may not always be necessary, but can really save you and people around you if you mess up.

I even use them on deadlifts and other ground exercises. Its just something simple and easy but a precaution.

Zack your story really reminded me of something that happended to me a few months a go, i was doing barbell military press, and struggling towards the end of the set, i ask my spotter to give me help, he was too busy looking at some hot chick walk past and nudged the bar into my mouth. i now have a chip on my front tooth. I had a set of perfect teeth too! with no braces!!!

Perfect teeth in england? Impossible.

Also, just to reiterate my point, if a plate falls off while working out, it doesnt always mean no big deal. I have been close to plates falling off while people are working out and almost have them roll over onto me or even fall on others.

People who do explosive exercises like power cleans without clips really piss me off.

damn dude. that sucks. sorry to hear about that. but we both had to learn the hard way how to pick good spotters instead of assholes who don't pay attention

Ahh, lol.

I always put on clips, it's natural for me. I can't stand the rattling of plates. It's kinda' difficult to keep your eyes off of the chicks coming in there when your testosterone is going wild. Especially the ones in spandex, oh jeez don't get me started.

Log will come up soon.

i'm up to 205lbs on front squats for 8 reps. could maybe go up to 225lbs for 8. but you're not too far off from where i am. i've seen this dude at my gym who's a lean 200lbs that does them with the same weight you do. and he goes to faliure.

do you use a pad or just bare barbell on your shoulders?

Wow man, impressive! Front squats are damn hard!
I do them with just the barbell, but I always wear a long-sleeve shirt to keep my mind off my upper body, and more on lower body.

that's not too impressive though if you think about it. what's more impressive are your because you weigh less. i'm DEFINALTY SURE you can hit 225lbs for 4 reps. that's where i was a couple of weeks ago. just admit it, you're strong as all hell. lol
