I once had a callous on my hand that hurt so much that I couldn't grab anything even with gloves on.

This one guy at my gym was doing squats and blew a wet fart that soaked through his grey shorts. That definitely injured his mentality after everyone was pointing and laughing.

popped my shoulder out of joint doing dbell declines. only did that exercise once or twice since. too precarious of a position for me. ill stick with dips if i really want to do that movement.

it sounds lame but hyperextension of a tendon in my index finger.....it still hasnt healed and its been MONTHS, it will take ages, its stopped me doing wrist curls as i cant curl all the way, ive only recently been able to get backto doing hammer curls and ive had to stop doing bag work for a while....thats probably my worst.

I pulled a tendon on my foot doing calf extensions on a leg press machine with 1000+ lbs it still hasn't healed completely. now I work out calves a little lighter no more than 800-900 lbs and do slower reps. I can't wait till I can use some real challenging weight again.

Rotator cuff injury... it is devastating because it takes you out of the loop for a month or two.

oh and 6 months after a started lifting I was doing a drop set of DB presses and I dropped my first weight beside the bench and then went to failure with the second and let those down and smashed my pinkie between the DB I was holding and the DB on the floor. Bruised it pretty bad, and learned my lesson the hard way on that one.

This happens more than you might think. I saw a guy really fuck up his finger in college doing the same thing.

Ever since then I always make sure the other set is moved a couple feet from the bench when someone is working in with me or I'm drop setting on DB presses, inclines or whatever.

Bench pressing at home when i was around 18 and i got stuck under the bar.I managed to squirm my way out of it, but picked up a shoulder injury which stayed with me for a few years.For about a month after that, i couldn't raise my right arm beyond shoulder level without feeling a stabbing pain.Moral: don't bench press on your own.

I pinched a nerve in my neck. It doesn't sound bad, but I would get very bad headaches when lifting- almost to the point of passing out. I was out for like a month.

this might be dangerous, but a number of times when benching on my own, i've gone to failure and havnt been able to get the bar back up, so i just drop it to the side. The trouble is it takes ages taking off all the weights to put the bar back on the rack.

I have an injury that deformed my bicep for life. Please be careful when you do preacher curls. I did something totally rookie. I was on my fifth set of standing preacher curls. First mistake, I usually stop at 4 sets. I decided to try and max out 5 lbs higher than my max, and on the second reps, the tendon that attaches the posterior bicep snapped off of my deltoid. Talk about pain. I ended up with black and blue bruises on both side of my bicep within 2 days. Now, my bicep hangs down because it's detached for one of the heads. I tried to get it fixed by 3 specialists in Boston, but no-one would do it. As a result, I can never compete, due to the lack of symmetry in my arm. When I flex, it's a very high peak, but it looks like part of the bicep is missing. My strength is only slightly weaker now that it's recovered. The only real problem is my vanity gets in the way. Unflexed it looks the same as the other one. Hope this helps someone.

Cripes I remember years ago I herniated a disk and it took almost a year for me to get back into the gym. Even to this day I still get occasional slight pain.

This whole story is making me squirm.

405 Pound Trap Bar Deadlift @ 210 bodyweight......4th rep ....heard a "pop" , I wished someone had just opened up a can of Pepsie but unfortunately it was the wall of my abdomen...yes the infamous hernia, many of you may remember my post pre surgery, took 3 months to get back to the gym, I'm in my 5 month back, poundages no where near the same. But making progress...watch the deadlift people.

Peace,
