please give us some peer reviewed literature.
and "i've never heard of someone injuring themselves that way" is pretty damn relevant when you're claiming it's possible, but doesn't seem to happen. you can pull/tear/injure any muscle on any exercise, but that doesn't mean that it's gonna happen.
oh yeah, if someone wants to build their muscles, then what bodybuilders (ie. people with hands on experiance) think is important. if you're just lifting for natural strength, then that's one thing, but if you want the muscles, it doesn't hurt to check out what the pro's do. if you're gonna build a castle, you don't look at house contruction, you look at a castle.
