This.

I love it when guys try to lift more than they can handle to impress chicks. Always ends with an injury.:D
Only if you do them wrong.

With right form and well spreaded exercises for the positional muscles, there is nothing wrong with trying to increase the weights you lift or push. its how you make progression

The gym at work has classes at lunch, there was one time this new teacher who was to hold a barbell class, at first he filled each side with the maximum it can hold and he did not put the stoppers. Obviously he was trying to impress.

He lift up his bar and started squatting if I remember correctly, two or three squats and all the weights from one side fall on the ground, of course he lost balance but it was funny when the other weights on the other sides followed directly.

I've gained some muscle but still I look pathetic in my opinion, so I am thinking of going to the gym 4 days a week as opposed to three. If I do go 4 days, how should I spread out the muscle groups?
