So I was the biggest dude in the gym right...
Then this fucking 6'7 looking motherfucker walks in...

>almost drop a plate on my toe

thats it.

Got extremely light headed during squats and decided to stick through my set. God damn I'm fucking stupid.

>>42300405
Nearly pooped myself mid deadlift once. It was a new PR and didn't want to bail half way because then I couldn't say I did it

manlet set up an insurance scam in the gym so he could lose his shins and below (for prosthetic legs which can make him taller) and for the insurance money.

he died.

first time in gym. doing incline dumbell bench press. my arms starting to fail me as i'm watching the dumbell slowly descend onto my face as i am helpless to do anything. my spotter was watching god knows what. luckily he caught it before contact.
as it was my first time i had no stabalizers or no control of my nervous system to engage or know how to bail?

Every workout I have squats. I hate squats I just know I'm gonna snap my shit doing them one day

I hate myself so much. People scare me.

Got pinned under the bar benching at like 1am once, literally alone in the gym.

I was in the power rack and had safeties, but they were too low, had to scrape the bar down my chest until it reached them.

Scariest thing was probably as i was failing the rep, hopelessly pushing up with all my might as the bar descended.

Unloaded all the weights off one side before the other. The bar shot up straight past my head.

It was all over before i even realised what happened.
Could have been bad.

Hurt my back at the gym. Worse, it was putting something down not picking it up when I hurt it. That was about it.

Sudden extreme headache after weighted chinups. Felt really dizzy just before doing deadlifts too.

Didn't drink enough water and probably pulled a muscle in my neck or just had exertion headaches. Was out of the gym for almost a month and lost a lot of strength because I was also cutting at -1k at the time.

It set me back like 3 months.

Dropped a bench press because I didn't realise the bar was 20kg.

lol this fag is bad with words

Spent the night in the ER, did heavy push day the next morning minus a considerable amount of blood and high on percs from testing and throat surgery. Almost failed 100lb db OHP, drop from halfway back down, stand up, pass out. Woke up immediately, looks of concern, "guess it's time to move to benching"

This is why I never use clips when benching anymore. If I fail and I'm all alone, I can just slide all the plates off to one side.

scariest shit ever

>>42305664
you remember how everybody made fun of him when he said this? i was watching his campaign rallies pretty regularly then, studying him and trying to figure out his character. so he said that about having the best words, then goes on rallying like nothing ever happened. a month or two later, he's being interviewed about a recent primary debate, and is asked about ted cruz. he starts to respond with something like "i think ted cruz was being very..." then pauses for just a microsecond, and looks into the camera, directly into my doubtful soul, and triggers those neurons that spark my recollection of his claim to have had the best words, and finishes his sentence..."strident. he was very strident."

that was the moment where i started to have a little faith in donald j. trump's character and in the substance behind his claims.

>>42305521
had that happen when I was 250lbs, except I fell on my tailbone

fuckin christ ill never forget that and i never will (or have) use those doorframe shits again

I could rack the bar after my OHP and had to let it roll off of me.

I can't imagine how painful this is at actual heavy weights (mine was only 30kg)

>>42300405
I got my shorts pulled down and my Gooch tongue tickled while I was at the bottom of a squat. Spooked the fuck out of me

>>42305794
it's not possible for your shorts to be pulled down while you're squatting, liar.

don't listen to this guy. the correct way to handle this is to confront your emotions by allowing yourself to feel them strongly. you need to watch them together, study their love for each other, burn it into your psyche until it loses its chemical impact.

>>42305962
Have you been to a doctor about this? Could be wrong but if your knees can hyperextend, they can hyperextend. In other words, the very fact they can means you can't snap them.

Snapping your knees the wrong way during leg press is a myth perpetuated by that video of that girl doing it, which is fake as fuck.

The video you posted shows just how impossible it is - if you can press the weight, you can't snap your knees. If the weight is heavy enough to snap your knees backwards, you wouldn't be able to press it up/out in the first place.

I'm not so sure about that. There are other videos of people snapping their legs up in a similar way with the leg press. Even sprinters and soccer players have had injuries like that just from running. It can definitely happen. I just have to be careful...

>>42300919
is this what people think? I'm 6'8 and I honestly though it was a meme, there's no way people must actually feel inferior but I also don't know this feel. I don't want people feelin like this especially when they're more swole

>>42304229
tips (fedora):
ask her how long she's been going your gym for
what does she do, cardio or lifting?
is she a student or does she work
depending on answer ask where if she doesn't answer that already, it's pretty easy from there "what do you study?" etc.
ask her for her number see if you can work out some time or "something"
get her number and message her if she wants to get something to eat or genuinely lift together and chit chat in between
probably get laid within a week depending on the girl.

Some people might write "cringe" but this is generally just being a normal person who wants to get to know someone

>>42307196
I don't feel it when they're smaller than me. I'm 6'2" and when a 6'5" dude walks in and he's skinnier than me I don't think much of it. When that dude is more jacked than I am hell yeah I'm intimidated

>>42307250
Yeah I mean taller they are the harder it is to look jacked so you're at the ideal height really. I look bigger than most people who go my gym because barely anyone squats or does legs or anything really beside chest and arms, they generally have small backs etc.

Biggest people in my gym give "the nod" to me but I've been training there a while too and started a lot skinnier and I can't imagine they feel intimidated at all even if they generally are sub 6ft.

Now that I mention it you can definitely see it on some peoples faces when they look down or can feel they're looking at you plus I have a generally unapproachable normal face but deep down I'm friendly I just don't like talking shit tonnes training.

Interesting to know though. I'm not big by any means but bigger than most as they just do the above mentioned lifts.

>>42307270
yikes, my feet and hands went sweaty even thinking about that shit. Get well soon.

Sauce?

>>42300405
Back when I was in highschool before I ever really worked out at all I tried to bench what was probably like 115lbs on the crappy bench we had in our basement at the time. Mind you I was like 5'7 and very un-athletic, I unracked it because I wanted to see if I could do 100lbs (I didn't take into account the weight of the bar, but it was not an actual olympic barbell so I'm pretty sure it doesnt' weigh very much). I brought it down and got stuck and had to roll it off my body because no one was even home at the time. I can probably do like 215lbs now which is like almost 10 years later but still, WHOO LAUD.

And I've snapped my shit up pretty bad twice, once squatting 135 when I first started and another time deadlifting.

>>42307114
This is literally why I now only do OHP

Bench is the scariest lift, ain't no one gonna be able to spot 3 plates

>>42307501

OHP is way more dangerous than benching my dude. You're just one ego lift away from either snapping your shit or breaking your arms.

in high school I was lifting with a buddy at the weight room in the gym and my spotter on bench was a dumb stoner and I went down for my 5th rep at 205 (lmao) and my arms gave out. dude caught the bar when it was less than an inch from my face. called it a day and didn't bench for like a week and a half after that.

>>42307114
>"oh, not much"

Fucking kek thank you anon this laughter must be great for my mental gains.

I've been near the bench press decapitation twice so far, both times I managed to unevenly rack it on the last or next to last bar hook things.

Today:
>did bench
>do incline
>unloading
>bar has some FUCKING stupid grooves that make pulling out plates with 1 hand impossible without shaking and jerking it
>1 pl8 in right hand, trying to pull off plate with left hand
>as I get near the end of the bar with the plate I've shaken it off the rack
>comes crashing down against the bench, hits some machines nearby
>cuck PT teaching some guy to quarter squat gives me a dirty look

Fuck that guy.

>>42304326
Same thing happened to me at 3am

Painfully rolling the bar down my body is an experience.

that one time this pretty girl used the squat rack right next to mine

>>42305994
ITS RUBIO!

A dude I went to highschool with has been on Worldstar, jail about 8 times, has beat up the leader of the biggest gang in my city etc. etc. etc.

Beat a guy almost to death with a pipe. He's out on probation right now and he's on his meds.

I'm personally cool with him but man is he a scary motherfucker to look at.

He's about 6 ft but like 260 lbs.

It looks like he's always got his traps tightened up to look big, but that's just the way they are.

I don't even know why he comes to the gym, he doesn't lift. He does about 250-300 pullups, about another 500 pushups, dips and box jumps.
Then he goes to the boxing bag, holds it with one hand and punches it like he's trying to kill it.

Like I said, I'm cool with him, so I'm not worried but I saw him take a meatheads belt once.

>Meathead flexes all the time, deadlifts like 600 lbs etc. etc.
>Dude from highschool goes over
>"Yo, you took my belt"
>Meathead "What bro?"
>Grabs him by the shirt "Give me my belt back or I'll kill you".

Dude promptly takes it off. I don't know if he just wanted it, genuinely thought it was his or was off his meds that day.

I'm big dude, and a good fighter, but I know an altercation with that man means death.
He's tried to kill people with his hands before.

>>42307196

When I see a dude of your size i think about Airplanes and buses and sometimes heart attacks

>>42309303
lol, Im assuming when you think about airplanes and buses you're on about seat capacity? It's pretty fucking dire to be fair.

I went to portugal about 2 months ago and it was torture the whole plane there and back. Buses aren't that bad anymore.

the heart attack one I like to thing is a myth but im probably more at risk due to obvious things like blood flow around my body, thats why im particularly spooked by the cholesterol thing

>>42309287

natural selection in action

The gym I used to go to had two 20kg plates the same size and style as the 10kg plates. Accidently put them on the bar for bench press, instantly failed bench press on first rep. Thankfully someone was there to pull it off.

>>42309287

moron

>>42305888
Don't forget that seated calf raise has the weight at on the end of a lever arm. The weight is actually a whole hell of a lot more than if you just took two 70 lb plates and did standing calf raises.

The one at my gym as you sitting about 1/3 out on the lever so you're doing a portion of your body weight, the weight of the seat and metal, and the plates.

>>42304910
>more pissed of about sperging out than broken nose

>>42300405
I failed 335lb slingshot bench without a spotter and my safeties were just a tad bit too low. Had to lower the bar on myself and then roll it off me, I was wearing a belt so I had to get it over the belt which was a motherfucker.

In the end the only thing that happened was some bruising on my abs. But it was pretty scary

>>42310188
Didn't you feel fucking alive afterwards though?

I've almost died about a dozen times, and I mean on deaths doorstep. When I think about cheating death I feel like a fucking superhuman.

My friends always say "anon, it's not that you can't die, it's that you fucking won't"

>>42300405

I dunno, I've been trying that stuff. Maybe I can lean back further and I'm just not used to it, feels like I'm going to fall over or something.

I don't really want to go below parallel either. Is the image on the left below parallel, or are his knees just sticking out to the side more?

Look here buddy, when you bench Press a barbell, you can rest on the safeties or on your abdomen and roll it off.

When you're doing decline dumbbell presses, the dumbbells should end directly above your chest. There aren't any safeties, or roll of shames. You either cling on and try to lower them as gently as possible without letting them plummet downward (either on your chest or face). If you can get them to your side, you can let them roll out of your fingers and onto the floor, but that would damage the floor and the weights.

Any barbell movement will always be safer than the dumbbell equivalent.

I was deadlifting, typical day, then suddenly sharp pain struck in the back, so bad, I had to stop and go home to lay on bed.

The sleep was shit that night because of back pain. After I woke up the next day, the pain was not getting any better, had to go to my family doctor, did X-ray, got sent to a rheumatologist, did blood test and MRI later, and I was diagnosed with ankylosing sponditis, essentially your own immune system fucks up your spine until all the vertebrates fuse together

I mostly swim now.

Wider stance until flexibility catches up. Problem solverinoed

>>42312325
Roll it down your body. It's pretty uncomfortable to do but as long as you don't have a crazy amount of weight it's not gonna hurt too bad.

>>42312461
It's called suicide grip for a reason. Let that be a lesson to all of you.

>>42312290
Widen legs, lower bar position, push your knees out at the bottom. It's technically safer to squat with really wide stance your knees track over your toes less and you're less likely to injure them, but you're also less likely to move big weight because you're using your quads a lot less.

>>42312454
>dropped a plate on my toe. Spent 30 min rubbing it like a retard in the corner. Ahhh the good old days when I did 5x5

>>42313238
Are there downsides to that?

>>42313785
Your quads get less out of the movement the less your knees track over your feet. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, you can just train quads with accessory movements and use squats as a general leg builder.

>>42302751
not true at all

>>42313830
Hmm, okay, I'll try that. Don't you need flexibility in other regions to do that though? Hip abductors or whatever?

Burst a hemorrhoid while squatting, blood ended up dripping down my leg out of my shorts

Almost all of these are bench, this is why i dont do that gay exercise

The thought of not being able to get back up when struggling to finish my last set of squats usually results in me not going as deep as I was before.

Otherwise, is my OHP never going past 55 and my bench only going from 55 to 80 over the course of 3 months scary? I think I have genetic noodle arms.

You're not eating or resting enough. Possibly both.

Linear progression with bench press.
My gym has 2 power racks with safety bars and 5 without. Everyone always takes 2 with safety bars and I was left benching without a spotter or bars. Had to rack weights when they were right in front of my face several times.
Still terrified of bench press

First set to failure on bench and I forgot to set the safety pins up one mark higher, so when I rolled it off my chest to my neck the bar went directly on my throat.

I was doing a clean to rerack the bar and some 45s after doing groundwork. After I reracked it, I blacked out and woke up on the ground.

anyway now i conscientiously make a big step forward and put down weight safely this way instead of small step and then leaning forward.

When will this meme finally stop? Do you guys seriously believe that women have no accountability or responsibilities?

SHE was the one who was in a relationship, not the guy. SHE decided that he wasn't good enough for her, not the guy.

Few years ago I would go to the gym at around 2 am. I was a bit of a night owl and I worked evenings anyways. Also, I enjoyed the fact that I was the only person there. I chew gum when I lift or else I bite down on my teeth. Doing bench press. Nothing too crazy on weights. I was getting into the zone and get some deep breaths in and pumping reps out at fast repetition. I fucking took too deep of a breath and my gum shot straight to the back of my throat. Fuckshit.jpg. Mind is racing. Do I spit the gum out or get the weight off first. Weight falls on me and I panic more. I'm going to fucking die. Watch my life flash before my eyes. All of a sudden retard strength activates and I get angry and throw the weight off of me. Get up and cough the gum out.

I still chew gum at the gym.

Gym trap waved at me

Why would you need a calculator to practice calculus? All the practice problems can be expressed rationally in any decent book.

You retard. Your body does more than just use your calves to raise yourself. That goes for most movements. That's why in isolation you always end up using much smaller weight in comparison to compounds.

I get how you can drop a bar, but I never understood how people let it slowly lower and pin themselves.

This is how I learned that the previous homeowner didn't actually nail the molding into the wall, and literally ONLY used caulk to hold it in. I have no idea how that shit didn't come off earlier. Was excruciating.

And no there weren't marks on the back of it where glue had been. Was legit ONLY caulk

Was this at a college gym?
That might've been me.

I bumped into the bar of a girl doing squats when I was racking my own bar.
She apologized profusely, and when she started apologizing I kinda froze up in confusion.
Luckily she was the only doing like 90 lbs so no one was hurt and she wasn't super thrown off.

Other than that, signing up was my scariest experience.

>that thumbnail

Not strictly gym but when I was a big'ol fucking tub of lard (100 kilos, 178cm) I did Taekwondo for a while and the instructor tried to make flexible like normal people in 1 or 2 classes "to get you on par with the rest of the students".

One day we were laying on our backs and the task was to bring our legs and hips up and then as closer to our torso as we could (imagine trying to suck your own dick). I, the fatso I was, couldn't do much and this asshole came and started manually pushing my legs/hips closer and closer and as a result my position slightly changed and the weight was no longer supported by my back but by my neck, at this moment I literally felt a fucking thunder go through my neck and back and had to scream because of the pain I was in.

He almost incapacitated me, I had to go through physical rehab because my spine and all that shit was overextended and my vertebrae applied pressure on all the nerves and stuff.

Was warming up with 225 on squat, and when I started coming back up I felt a painful pop in my upper abdominals. I was planning on working up to 500 lbs that day and the thought of what would've happened if it had popped when I was squatting heavy scared the shit out of me. Still paranoid to this day.
