How dumb was this?
Before I get flamed...I know it wasn't the smartest move!
Today on chest me and my buddy were in quite a rush, because he had to go early, so I agreed to go fast (figured it would be a good change of pace)
Anyways I usually pyramid up like this on Flat Dumbells...95lbs,105lbs,115lbs,125lbs...So my buddy was like lets just go right into the 125lbs.
I did 45lbs for 10, 75lbs for 10...then did 125x12, 125x10, 125x7 for 3 sets. The first set FELT LIKE A PIANO fell on me and I just woke up out of a coma, but I got 12.
Just wondering if this is unsafe/dangerous to do to just jump right into the heavy weight. I felt really stiff on the first set, but the others one felt ok (but not too good) my arms were kinda stiff.
Did I hurt anything? Is this totally stupid to do?

No I dont think its a bad idea per say. (sp?)
Depends on if your internal core is warmed up too....as far as getting your shoulder joint warmed and 'lubed' up, its up to the trainee.

The fact that it felt like a PIANO hit you and that you felt stiff says:
a) joints and muscles weren't warm to prepare the work you were asking them to do.
b) nervous system wasn't ready for that kind of load
Is it dumb......well, you didn't get hurt....but I wouldn't do it. Once again, risk > rewardOptimum Sports Performance

Depends on how you felt and what your warmup looked like. For sets of 12 I sometimes just do a set of 12 with 50% of my working weight as a specific warmup.
