Squatted 3pl8 outside the power rack. Went real fucking low and couldn't stand up. Fell over to my back and got pinned.

>unrack weight and slowly lower it
>pause on chest
>can get the bar off my chest
>calling out for help,took nearly a minute for anyone to notice
>big maori guy lifts it off me, laughs and says he didnt hear me calling for help

Nearly quit lifting then and there

The first time I ever used lifting shoes (adipowers), I squatted with a 30kg warmup and literally fell over to the side, the bar slamming down on the safeties, and had 2 dyel ethnics rushing to help me from the crushing weight.

I ended up getting changed and going straight home after that single rep.

>>36479511
Was getting pinned part of your plan?

Closest machine I can find to the one I have at my gym (snap fitness in aus)

Except there are three rungs you can stop the weight at

>>36479648
Almost happened to me aswell but was only 2pl8

>>36479773
Shit that's rough, first session at the gym I did pull ups to begin and exhausted my armr instantly

Tried to bench 20kg and was shaking like an epileptic 3 year old but still managed to re rack it

>>36479794
My gym has these but only two rungs. If you fail at the bottom you're just stuck until someone can get it off you. Great motivation, bout to go for a 70bs press today.

>inb4 not that much hurr

It is for me.

>>36479876
700lbs*

Fuck.

>>36479668
Then put some mats behind your back and consider wearing platform shoes.

It really stops at the absolute end so you must be <5' for that to be a problem

got crushed by a 155 closegrip bench doing my warmup... wasnt even a working set getting to me heavy triples it was literally just me getting my form down and shit and on my last push my triceps just gave out.

>>36479511
I hit my chin/nose/face when doing OHP a lot.
Sometimes I just focus on pushing upwards so much that I bring my head forward too soon and smash my face into the bar before I raise it higher.

Funny, the same thing happened to me only the weight slowly squashed me into a ball and I rolled off the side
Some guy was looking at me in the mirror too

>>36479511
This exact same thing happened to me a few months ago.. I went just below the last safety and my legs just gave up on me. I pretty much got folded in half, i pulled a muscle in my back and was in excruciating pain for like 2 weeks.

I was the laughing stock of all my friends for a while because they couldn't comprehend how I hurt myself on the leg press ;_;

Had not been lifting for awhile maybe like a month. First time in my college gym. Do a typical chest/ tris bro split. Last exercise is close grip bench, load up 135, should be easy right, do 7 reps and have to drop the weight on my self. Did not lift for like 2 more months out of embarrassment.

What's up with all you faggots getting pinned under bitch weights (no offense) while benching?
You know you can just roll that shit down to your hips and sit up or wriggle yourself out from under there, right?
The only scenario I can imagine someone needing help getting pinned is if you're benching way to heavy literally directly over your neck.

>>36479511
You know what's embarrassing? That you decided to leg press instead of squatting

>>36479511
I think you should kill yourself just for using the leg press machine you faggot

>>36479783
4u

>>36482407
use dumbbells fatty

>> be me
>> be recovering hamplanet
>> no upper body strength
>> very self conscience
>> after two months of of lifting I decide to try bench pressing
>> figure I must be somewhat stronger
>> load up two 35 lbs plates
>> 7' bar
>> did set of 5
>> hard as fuck
>> second set, fail after 3rd rep
>> safety catches
>> crawl out from under it
>> like 4 built guys staring
>> came home and built my own power cage

This was a month ago, at least now I can 5x5 that weight, but I still have a long way to go.

>>36479511
well you're badass enough to lift by yourself

>>36479648
did that yesterday, albeit in the power rack. got 2 reps, then failed. waited and got 2 more reps and failed. then I quit.

Fucking bullshit cause I squatted 325 for 5 a week ago.

>skullcrushers
>forgot to fasten the weights

>months ago
>finally reached 2 plate squats
>tried going for 5 reps

>stuck in some bullshit position
>cousin helped me get the bar off me
>1st and only time I failed at squats
