What is the most dangerous weightlifting exercise? Why?

All mine seem to flake out, they start out strong then come up with excuses not to go! I want someone that is motivated as i am to lift with! It sucks lifting alone!
Well I've been doing a modified pyrimide workout, 4 sets starting at 12 reps 10 8 6. 3 to 4 exercises per body part and i've been changing up what i hit example:
I've been great! Made my decision to hold off competing until 2010 so my head is clear & I'm training/eating like a freak! Let me know if you need some help-I'm happy to help you "tweak" any way I can :)
Hey you!! Well, I didn't do as well as hoped at this last comp (check out my blog) but I'm totally cool w/it...I had a great year & got my nationals bid so it's all good! How are YOU??
Oh yeah!! That will be fun-let me know if you need any help w/that-haha!! Hope you can get back to some normalcy soon. My kids are still out of school till at least Tuesday!!
