Just to clarify, because I feel that my post has been misinterpreted. I don't think I have superhuman shoulders or joints and that injuries will not occur. I'm aware of the danger associated with imbalances, poor form, etc. Let me explain my quote.
The OHP comment was said because when I told the girl I couldn't even do 115lbs without discomfort (which is a very manageable weight for me) she said, "well thats alot of weight, maybe its too much for you/your joints"...She deals with people that weigh 115lbs and is using their abilities to determine what a 'heavy' weight would be for me.
The squat comment was made because of what Hardgain mentioned. An off day, is an off day. And if it just so happens that I'm still stronger than half the gym, its still an off day.
Lastly the overweight comment was in reference to the BMI and other associated scales but I couldn't remember the name of it so I just said I was overweight compared to the average person.
To be honest I wasn't really referring to injuries at all, it merely happened to be in one of my examples, and I didn't want to keep trying to re-explain myself for fear of looking like an even bigger idiot.
