>painful
I pushed myself real hard on bench with no spotter and finished my reps exhausted. Went to rack the weight, thought it was racked and let go too quickly. Only 1 side was racked well and the other side slipped and came down on me. Instinctively put my hand up and it smashed my fingers into the metal bears next to the bench and hit me in the lip. My hands and lip got scraped up real bad and I was bleeding everywhere so I bandaged up and finished my work out once the bleeding stopped.

Snapped by back deadlifting after some guy asked me how many sets I had left. I was planning on leaving cuz I could already feel my back not doing to well, but something about that guy asking me made me do one more set.

Needless to say that popping feeling is the some of the scariest shit I ever experienced. If i would have fallen over I sure as hell was not going to get up.

Put 10kg more one side of the barbell when doing squats, luckily it wasn't a lot of weight and I only did one rep before realising

Me and the guy next me shared a chuckle about it

>Be skinny DYEL 18 year old
>Have absolutely no clue what I'm doing.
>Think I'm hot shit, try to dumbbell OHP like 60 lbs
>Arm can't support weight, weight falls backward
>sickening, audible crunch
>no pain at the time, but as the weight fell backwards my arm popped forwards out of the socket.
>Slowly pain starts to gradually increase until its white hot, some of the worst pain I've ever experienced
>Sheepishly walk up to the front desk
>"E-excuse me, I think I've hurt m-myself."

I ended up going to the hospital where an hour later my arm still hadn't been put in its socket so the doctors started to crank on it to try and get it to go in. Due to the initial damage to the joint being exasperated by the arm being out of its socket for long I ended up needing a sling for 6 weeks and physio afterwards.

>zero reaction from anyone when he hits his nuts
nice fake video with a foam axe

kek

It's show motion and cuts off right afterwards, what lightning reflexes do you expect from highschoolers?

The girls filming it should have freaked out instantly like they always do. Screaming out loud, some theatrics, one upping each other in their responses.

You ok now user?

They can't see where it is landing because of the table, so they are assuming it is hitting the wood block.

Home gym so less embarrassing, but massive learning point, bought a power cage basically the week after.

>failed on bench
>50kg at the time, beginner
>tried to rerack 50kg onto the bench
>the bench I had at the time was a piece of shit, the corners were sharp and it wasn't as wide as it should be
>struggle to life and cut hand on bench, squished between the bar and the metal
>blood everywhere
>massive bloody scar to this day.

Snapped my shit up when deadlifting a few years ago(fine now), also yesterday i smashed the bar into my nose when doing snatches, i almost knocked myself out and had to take a second to reslize what happened. Laughed with gym buddy and kept lifting after cleaning up the blood

kek I used to cut myself on my rack all the time
those shitty benches arent worth it at all

Nothing serious, just the plates falling off because I didn't collar my first bench.

how did you snap? is there any prevention for that?

Haven't really had that embarrassing things happening to me.

I was benching 115 lbs and got pinned under it. Because I didn't use collars, I tipped it to one side to slide the weights off, and when I did that, it whipped back the other way. This made a ton of noise and lots of people were looking at me, and it startled two dudes on the other bench. When I stood up, I said, "It's okay, I just had s-shoulder surgery" which was the first thing that came to mind. And yes, I did stutter on the s. They didn't even fucking respond.

I think I just picked up the weights and left after that. I was completely humiliated and embarrassed. Why didn't I just ask one of them to help me, wow. They probably would have just laughed and joked around making me feel better, maybe I'd end up with 2 new gym bros. But no, instead I completely spaghetti.

Back when I was in college I slipped getting off a stationary bike and the pedal gouged a chunk out of my right leg, got a nice scar maybe 3 inches long

>doing side lateral raises
>30kg
>finish set and swing dumbbells down in front rather than to the side
>dumbbells come together in perfect unison to crush my dick. Not the whole thing, they kind of catch the front half as it's curled up in boxers
>searing dick pain
>rack weights
>sit down nonchalantly.. for 10 minutes

Used to train martial arts. Broke my foot doing kicking drills because I am uncoordinated

Ask one of them to help you with what exactly?

You should have just picked up the weights and continued. Everyone does some shit like this at some point, they didn't response because they probably just didn't care all that much.

I have upper and lower cross posture issues - I injured my rotator cuff while doing bradford presses and my lower back while doing barbell squats.

Do not ignore your posture issues - they are priority number one. Ignoring them inevitably WILL lead to injury.

I meant ask them to help get the bar off of my chest (they were basically standing right behind me, since the benches are head-to-head). I agree with you though.

>30kg lateral raises
>Not controlling the weight
You deserved worse

>tfw I did the exact same thing a couple weeks ago and am getting a rack because of it as well

Cheap all in one fold up benches are great if your broke like I was or have limited space, but holy fuck I spent more focus on not degloving my thumb when reracking the weight than actually lifting it

I've never hurt myself because I'm not fucking retarded.

I hit myself in the face when doing facepulls.

>some guy asked me how many sets I had left
This is annoying to people?

wasnt me but i saw some new kid benching 75lbs at the gym and his last rep he was beyond struggling. like he was going down then up then down but finally got it up. he seemed embarrassed and no more than 10 secs later he unracked again and couldn't even get it off his chest. got up and curled it off him. fag didn't even say thanks or put his weights away, just picked up his water bottle and walked away. never saw him again

The most embarrassing shit is that I go there four times a week and still look like a fat retard and also I'm not making any progress

I was too paranoid to get on the treadmill because i thought people would make fun of me.

I was doing OHP in the OHP rack, hit lmao1plate for the first time and was so overjoyed I didn't rerack it properly on one side. It swung down on the right and as I instinctively tried to slow it down, my wrist got bent really far back. It hurt, but not enough to make me go home. Unfortunately my wrist was fugged, and it became apparent when I couldn't even do face-pulls. Took a week before I could use it at the gym and it's still sore sometimes.

Not sure if bait (based on how often it happens).
Yes it's annoing. Does asking me how many reps I have left even make a difference? I'm gonna do as many reps as I have left, might as well wait around a bit, or better yet find something else to do, and not pull me out of my zone. The worst are the people who tap you on the shoulder IN THE MIDDLE OF A SET. Obviously you'd think they must have something important. So you
>drop the weight.
>pull out your earbuds
>hear them out
>give them a number knowing anything greater than 2 will have them make "that face".
>have them make that face.
>plug back in.
>start your set again, this time less concentrated and a little annoyed.

At least you got that rep though

Involuntary fart while deadlifting in front of a couple of cute cardio bunnies.

It was a squeaker.

>"E-excuse me, I think I've hurt m-myself."
lel

Violently shaking my "immediate after workout protein shake" and forgot to put the cap on. There was more places with protein shake than not. People were staring at me, probably expecting me to do something about it. I just uttered "I'm going to find a mop" or something, and hurriedly got my shit together and spaghettied the fuck out of there

me entering the gym

Why don't you just sit up and push it off your chest at the same time. Roll of shame or whatever it's called. You should be able to do it with 2pl8 if you can lift it anyway. Highest weight I had to do it with was only 80kg though but getting it off my chest wasnt hard at all, Imagine I could do it with 100kg too.

>does 1 more set just to annoy some guy
>snaps his shit
Holy shit, Karma does exist

I was doing flat dumbbell presses and when i leaned the weights back and laid down I farted at the same time

there was a qt pie on the bench next to me and i just started laughing and put the weights down right away

i don't know if she heard it cause she had earbuds in but it felt like a loud one

CHECKED

I was using the ez curl bar to bench press in a squat rack :(

I got a lot of "bro... :(" Looks

Someone left a 20 plate closer to the edge of a bar than I realised and when I pulled it off I wasnt gripping yet so it fell. Grazed my shins but I got my feet out of the way. People turned around and looked concerned and ready to help. Which was reassuring.

Just yesterday I couldn't put my feet in a TRX footholders. I was bend over on the floor on all fours trying to put my foot and I couldn't hit it. Noticed few people were watching me so I just got up and went to do ab wheel.

Had a very similar experience where I missed a rerack on one side and the bar fell on my face
Ended up with a scraped cheekbone, a swollen nose, and a slight nosebleed.
Then I went to a job interview looking like I lost a fight

Thought this gym thot smiled and waved at me so I waved back but it was meant for her friend standing behind me

Holy shit. I always leave as soon as I think I've compromised form in a back-damaging way. Chances are a few hours later I'll be in pain, and it's better to lose a few days than a few weeks (or months).

I squated heavy while already thinking about deadlifting. Couldn't focus and pulled something in my back. I was pretty much scared shitless.

After deadlifts sometimes I'm too tired to get the plates off the bar and I struggle looking like a weak bitch

A couple years ago I had taken a 3 week break from lifting. When I came back, I started warming up OHP. Max at the time was probably 165 for 5 and so I started with 95lbs to wake the shoulders up. I incorrectly valsalva'd on one of the reps and passed out with the bar over my head and came to on the floor. Luckily the bar didn't fall on me but I had a bad headache for the rest of the day. Guy came up to me and was stifling laughter as he asked if I was ok. Finished my fucking workout though.

got caught fucking my sister in the squat rack.

>few rolls of shame during bench
>few crawls of shame during squat

Nothing terrible desu. I did get a compliment after rolling the bar off my chest onto the bench as a guy ran over to help tho

Oh almost forgot
>put on sweatpants after laundry and head to gym
>halfway through workout feel something weird on pant leg
>sock drops out onto floor
>trainer notices
>walk away in shame

Still miss that sock

>First start lifting, weight training college course to fill the PE requirement
>get feet wet, then at end of course we’re testing bench max
>started with bar was super weak, got up to benching 95lbs for 10 reps
>test, hit 1pl8, feel good, coach doesn’t see
>go again with an extra 10lbs because I felt I had more in me, coach watching
>grab bar and he yells “RACK THAT SHIT RACK IT” and spotter racks, I didn’t even start to descent
>embarrassed, pissed off
>ff two years of powerlifting, max is 290
>start cutting and feel weak but numbers are the same, although I’m tired
>go to campus gym first time since that day, it’s a redemption of sorts
>warming up, bar feels different than I’m used to but looks Olympic and whole bench feels off, lower almost, think it’s in my head
>also forgot to eat anything that day
>start to bench my 2pl8 for 5 reps
>slowly go down and gets stuck on head
>people rush to lift it off me. I grab my gallon and leave fast and never go back, hot in face wanting to cry from frustration
I want to blame the equipment, and lack of food that day, went back to regular gym and hit that lift no problem the next week, but it feels like an excuse to blame those things even if the campus gym is really shitty and cheap shit

I just fucking dropped loads of plates today preparing the bench press, they nearly hit the gymfu squatting next to me
I guess that's what i get for not checking if the previous person was using safety clips or not.

Was only a few seconds of embarrassment though, other than shitting yourself i can't imagine what you can do to walk out shamefully mid workout

Attached: 1543947247495.jpg (700x662, 54K)

If someone says 3+ more sets I go do other shit. If they are almost done I wait

The shame

>not lifting for 6 months due to relationship
>back to gym, try squatting 225 for 10 reps
>strain back
>have to literally crawl around my house the next few days

It is and ins't.
You should blame yourself for not eating that day. The lack of food is the reason, but your decision, you, was the real cause.
Just be more disciplined with eating and you'll do a lot better. I recently had a come to Jesus moment about myself and my eating, and changing my morning routine to wake up 10 minutes earlier so I could eat a bowl of overnight oats (with milk and a blob of greek yogurt) instead of just a measly breakfast bar has increased my energy massively. I used to feel tired halfway through my workout, and it eventually became feeling tired after my first 5 sets. Now I don't get that.

>4th set of box squats
>Haven't done legs in my entire 9 months of lifting because never wear shorts
>"Fuck it, let's do 2pl8"
I had already done 3pl8 for 1 rep already btw
>Go down for first rep, hit box, get stuck
>Try to get back up
>Nope.jpg
>"hmm, fuck"
>wheyfu doing leg raises next to squat rack
>"Ah could you give me a hand, I can't seem to stand up"
>tries to pull bar up, falls backward, comes WAY too close to crushing my forearm
>helps to rerack weight
>"You should really use the Smiths machine while you're starting off, you can just move the bar forwards then"
>"t-Thanks"

Still got through the rest of my workout, nobody else saw so it was fine

back when i was dyel
>squatting 2pl8s
>had no traps to rest bar on
>put it on my neck
>squat down
>bar slides in between vertebrae
>feel sharp sensation shooting up my neck
>almost black out instantly
>rack it
couldn't lift for 3 weeks after due to the exertion headaches it caused. it was pretty discrete though so i wasn't embarrassed
>benching without spot
>go for one last rep
>big mistake
>barely get bar on rack
>let go
>only half was racked properly
>other half comes swinging down like a guillotine
>barely dodge it from smashing my forehead
>it skims the side of my hide/temple area
>pain wasn't too bad but felt something was wrong
>felt nauseous driving home
i think i gave myself a partial concussion. luckily there weren't many people in the gym there so it wasn't terrible

lost my balance trying to squat 205 last week and held onto the bar like a retard. the dude behind me was deadlifting like 350 or something so that made me feel like a retarded noob moreso than i already do. back to 195 i go...

You sound like a fucking retard. They're asking so they know if they should wait or do something else.

Same. Then the machines, then the free weights, then bodyweight then pullups, conscious of people looking at me between sets because I just sit/stand still etc.. now I don't really care.

Farting loudly on a squat deadlift? Not too bad if it doesn't smell but if it smelled really bad I'd have to leave. I had to hold in a big one today, all that protein man.

You can see the foam axe chip some of the foam cinderblock. Fucking black foam magic

So you've 1rm @ 3pl8s on squat after 9 months of never squatting but you failed on 2pl8?

Missed the rack doing a bench press when I first started working out and dropped the barbell on my face. Luckily it was only 1 pl8. Just had a cut underneath my eyebrow and black eye. I probably had a concussion as well but didn't bother going to the doctor

Attached: 1532795202589.jpg (633x349, 117K)

I have no idea really, the 3pl8 rep was after a few lighter sets for legs, and I was pumped as fuck, I had only been hunting the 1rm that day too. The day of the failure I had already done 3 sets of 12 at 80kg, so I thought it was OK. Also my lifts were after consistently going for 2 weeks before hand

>Really I think it was that I had to go down to the box for 2pl8, and didn't nearly go low enough for 3pl8

imagine the smell haha

>hottest girl in the gym sits beside me at one of those machines that they think makes them better at sex.
>I quickly stop my ohp mid-set out of pure anxiety and fear at a potential conversation.
>come back to wipe off my machine out of habit.
>girl smiles at me.
>realize I’m wiping off the wrong machine.

i screamed and cursed at a girl who i thought was using my headphones, which were around my neck.
i actually yelled the sentence "give me my god damn headphones you fucking cunt bitch."
i guess people (including her) were trying to tell me my identical headphones were around my neck but i was losing it. i didn't stop yelling until a guy ripped them off my neck. i didn't even take them back from him, i just ran out without them, yelling FUCK YOU ANYWAY and the guy at the desk was looking at me and i yelled FAGGOT
haven't been back even though the monthly is still being taken off my credit card 2 years later. motherfuckers won't let me cancel over the phone and i don't want to go back and face them.

Sharted while hitting a deadlift pr

What the fuck is wrong with you

roiding

That's not a valid excuse. You're just a cunt

Holy autismo

what this guy said and also people were getting on my last nerve that day. bitches kept walking right behind me while i squatted and one started unracking my weights when i went to get water

>Be DYEL
>Chad of the century + 2 other friends tell me to MAX bench between classes at schools training room
>Chad does 130kg
>My turn, loads 70kg
>Can't lift, oh shit, bar stuck on chest
>Call for spot, everyone step away
>Chad takes my pants of, and grabs my dick and balls in his hands

He calls it "The bouquet"..

Watched an Omar Isuf video saying to go down quickly with squats. Tried it at my next session and lost balance trying to get back up. The barbell forced me down face first, but thankfully I had rails on otherwise I was going to fuck my face up pretty bad on the floor. Thanks a lot, Omar you gay Aladdin looking faggot.

i was really enunciating it too, when i called her a fucking cunt bitch i said it really slow and exaggerated like she was a retarded kid. it was honestly really satisfying lol
