Matt Furey?

Brian Link said:

On Fark, I managed to get navigated to a site with one of those Matt
Furey ads for Combat Conditioning.

He calls Weight Training dangerous.

1. What are the merits of his training program? I've heard folks here
praise Hindu Squats, Hindu Pushups, etc.
2. I couldn't find where his site mentioned the "dangers" of Weight
Training, though the little animated gif pointer mentions it. Why does
he thing Weight Training is dangerous?

Mostly because of rotator cuff problems from benching.

Thanks.

btw.. after a 2 month layoff, I'm back at it, and for some bizarre
reason I'm making ridiculous new gains. Added 20 lbs to my squat and
bench after about 3 weeks of work. Go figger.

Maybe a rest more often would be productive.

Now that you mention it. How does one avoid rotator cuff problems when
benching?

It has to do with balancing the work you do across the shoulder joint so it
doesn't get pulled out of place by an imbalance in muscle strength and tone.

I asked something similar and got Keith's answer to this a while back:
