had a fucking heart attack today because of a retard..
was doing paired sets and while i was away from squat rack some guy took off weight from the right side of the bar. i came back from the left side so naturally i didn't notice it and assumed everything was as i left it. the guy even saw me come back and never said anything.
i positioned myself under the bar, tightened everything and lifted it up explosively expecting heavy resistance only to literally launch the right side in the air. the left side which had more weight on took a nosedive and raised the bar straight in the air. by then it was already too late to stop it and all i could do is let go. once it hit the ground it fell to the opposing squat rack.
luckily it was early in the morning and nobody was doing squats there. i don't even want to imagine what would happen if someone would be there at the time. best case scenario his head would get caved in.
biggest wake up call for me and the retard who took the weight off.

So what'd you do?
Or did this not really happen

unloaded the bar and put it back. i asked the guy if he took the weight and he said "yes, i didn't know it was yours". asked him why he didn't warn me and all he said was "sorry" in a cocky way. fucking idiot.
went to management and told them what happened. guy checked video and went to have a chat with him. didn't see him return for the rest of my workout.
fuck that guy

What a guy.
Once a guy accidentally dropped a bar or something (can't remember) over my foot because I was casually passing over there. Hurted a bit at the moment, more later. Nothing serious though. It was years ago when I was a stupid teenager, too autistic/much of a pussy to even say something

>benching without a spotter
>accidentally drop the bar on my neck and suffocate
>was going to testify against Hillary Clinton the next day
>>39272877
>squatting
>people ducking under your unracked bar to take weights off the rack
Do these people want to die?
