I broke my toilet doing box squats. Fuck!

[gonelifting]

i'm just trying to picture someone doing box squats with a toilet underneath them. i'd probably ask my spotter to flush the toilet at the bottom of each rep just for the sake of doing it. did you have the seat up or down? if it was down, did your wife bitch about it?

LOL It was an old toilet in my basement that was there when we bought the house. It does`nt even have a seat cover. It`s like a 1930`s model. lol Those long ones... I piss in there once in a while just so I don`t have to go upstairs to the bathroom, but My wife would never use it.

It`s gone now. lol Well half of it. I need a plumber.

It was either using that or a milk crate. I thought the crate would collapse too easily on it`s end.

Your right a porcelain toilet was the better choice

This has got to be an EF classic.........

Hope your back heals ok.......

I lift in my basement and wanted to try these box squats. Until I get a good box I figured I would use the toilet. It looked like a good height. It`s sort of in the middle of a long wall in my basement with no walls around it. So I figured what the hell?

Well I know NOW that you have to sit BACK on the box (in this case toilet) lol I put 315 on the bar and my weight I guess was a little too much for it. I sat on the front end of it and apparently too fast. The fucking bowl cracked in half and I have a 4 inch gash in my back from the damn cracked porcelain. As I kept falling the jagged end of the bowl that was left dug in pretty deep.

The funny part is the bar was still on my back while water was shooting out everywhere and I`m on the floor with a 4 inch cut on my back screaming for my wife to come down to the basement.

Here`s where I get pissed off. When she comes down the steps she asks "What the hell are you doing?" WTF? Water was still gushing out of the bowl I was bleeding from my back AND the 315 pound barbell was crushing me. WTF? "What are you doing?" lol

Lesson learned. Don`t ask wife for a spot and don`t do box squats on a toilet bowl. I don`t know which one is better advice.

My back hurts now. Damn it!

The "What are you doing" comment was the best bit. Asif you had said "Ok, let me just break this toilet.....now to cut my own back.....now crouch down here, whilst placing the bar across my back.......OH YEA!! this is a killer new exercise."

THAT`S what pissed me off the most. lol

Everything else... Shit happens. Whatever. But for my wife to be upset AT ME saying "What the hell are you doing?" lol AND WAITED FOR AN ANSWER FROM ME!!!

I`m still steaming from that.

It`s all good though. I`ll be back soon enough.
