I guess there's no real answer, but I'll ask anyway. What is the best way to avoid injury? Even though it's old, I recently saw the video of Matt Kroc tearing his quad on a set of 10. That just sucks. I've always felt safe with weights in the 10 rep range, but not anymore. I'm not at 545 for 10, but getting close and the thought of tearing a quad in the middle of a set makes me kinda sick. I'm over 40 now and have had no major injuries. Is the possibility of tearing a quad or pec or bicep just the way it is?
