That's what keeps me mostly away from dumbbells. Flat bench and even incline it's too hard to safely get big enough weights in place to be challenging. If I do it I mostly just do moderate weight for really high reps. Overhead press too really, one false move trying to get heavy dumbbells up and your shoulder is wrecked.

While not on the injury side, or at least on bodily injury, but absolutely injured my pride. Kicked up 90lb DBs for the first time about a year ago. I overshot the right dumbell over my shoulder. I recognized it early and knew I couldn't stop it so let it go. It flew over hit the ground, hit my shaker cup with my intra in it. Big thud, everyone looks, shaker rolling across the gym floor, and I left the cap off so it poured out everywhere.

I've seen things online that like hold the dumbbells and get them into place for you. Probably high dollar equipment.
 
Weight today was 184.0

Workout was,

2x3 squats @ 87.5% (405lbs)
2x8 leg curls
3x8 ohp
2x8 weighted pullups
2x8 lot rows
2x8 wide grip seated cable rows

Superset of 3x8 hammer curls and 3xAMRAP spider curls

Superset of 4x12 tricep pushdowns and 4xAMRAP overhead tricep extensions


Squats are feeling really light. Today's sets were about an rpe 6 and they were supposed to be closer to 8-8.5

Oh yes been there done that with incline db presses. Kicked up the 90s and wasn't able to position the left arm as it spasmed...and ended up popping the shoulder, but popped back in after dropping the dumbbells.

Now I only go to 70 on incline 60 sitting, but can safely get 100lbs into the air on flat db bench.

Just not worth the risk to me even with going heavy on db press.
 
100's on flat or incline and 80's for overhead press is about my limit for what feels safe to get into position with. My program called for medium reps on flat dumbbell awhile back and I worked up to 130's and it just doesn't feel safe.
 
Weight today was 183.6

Workout was,

3x8 squats @ 345lbs
2x8 ohp @ 225lbs
2x5 deadlifts @ 465lbs
4x8 cable crossovers
3x8 chest supported rows
3x8 hammer curls
3x8 skull crushers
4x8 standing calf raise

Bumped my calories up to 400c, 65f, 350p last week. Haven't gained any weight so will probably raise carbs to 450. I think by the time I'm on cycle it'll be easier to bulk because my energy expenditure will be half what it is now.

Ate like shit the last couple days and worked about 30 hours the last couple days. Finally caught up with everything though and should be able to focus my time on making some gains
 
Weight today was, 182.2

Workout was,

2x8 squats @ 345lbs
2x8 ohp @ 225lbs
2x6 deadlifts @ 465lbs
3x8 cable crossover
3x10 hammer curls

Going to take this week to eat and rest a bunch. Then I will probably bump my squat max up to 475, ohp I'm going to move down to 295lbs, and deadlift up to 635lbs.

Also, starting today I'm bumping up both carbs and fats. So my macros will be 450c, 100f, 350p. Hopefully with my lack of physical activity now and the addition of AAS in a bit I'll finally start moving the scale up.
