Your funniest training accident/injury

Whats the funniest accident or injury youve had in the gym.

I've got a few to start

1. When I was 18 pulled both my tricep and bicep in each arm, can you spell "overtraining" lol You have no idea how much of a pain in the arse not being able to move your arms more than inch is, simple shit like eating and drinking became so frickin hard. Took a course of muscle relaxers and about 2 weeks to heal before i was mobile enough to scratch my nose and jerk off again.

2. Blacked out while doing squats, the rack caught the bar and the wall caught my head....

3. Oh yeh mate shit him self while doing hvy squats, never laughed so much in my fuckin life. Dirty bastard ended up leaving his soiled pants in the toilet


(Sigh) memories.
 
Doing push press... smacked bar into chin. BONG. Luckily didn't do any damage.

And of course the old favorite getting stuck under a bench press with no spotters around... That sucks.
 
"And of course the old favorite getting stuck under a bench press with no spotters around... That sucks."

Yep thats always a bitch, happened to me when the gym was about empty, girl there had to run off to get help, felt like such a muppet.

Use dumbells now, makes life simpler......
 
It wasn't my injury. :)

A dumb ass kid kept crowding my wife while she was warming up for squats. She was overly polite and wouldn't say anything, but it was pissing me off royally. He was doing some idiot exercise and kept moving into her space with no respect for the fact she was lifting there.

I took her bar... dropped all the weight off it... started warming up with just the bar... and when he came crowding in doing his jumping jack lunge thing - I popped the bar out to the side right into his head.

It spun him sideways... a direct hit.

Then I looked at him all dumb and concerend and said, "Are you okay?"

He stayed a long way away from her after that. :)
 
This just happened Sunday... :)

For those of you who read the training boards, my last two workouts (including the one I did tonight) I have about or have lost my pants (snap up warmups) during Zercher Squats.

on the first occasion, I undid ONE snap that was digging into my leg during the zerchers, when I went up in weight and got to the bottom of the motion, my entire left pant leg exploded open, leaving my leg exposed and my grey tommy boxers showing from the ass to the front...

tonight... I DID NOT undo that button... instead, however... on Zerchers, on both 185 and 225, on the bottom motion, my left pant leg AGAIN exploded (I was wearing those black and white Otomix snap warmups)... however, on 225, the leg blew off the pants all the way up to my waist... I was not wearing my fanny pack, so it wasnt' there this week to HOLD my pants on...

With my wide stance, I mananged to finish out my set without my pants falling totally off... when I racked the weight however, my pants slid completely off... leaving me standing there... in a pair of black tommy boxer breifs... the only consolation I had is that my legs were VERY pumped... and no one was in the gym at 1am.

maybe you should get a Unitard there bro ......j/k:FRlol:


Let's see....I've been pinned on the incline bench already, which isn't that big a deal, because it's pretty easy to roll the weigfht down and clean it.

Pinned on a flat bench....sucks a lot worse

Dropped a 45 lb plate right on my foot - OUCH!
Luckily, nothing was broken or anything
 
lets see... flying off the back of the stepmill (while checking out a cute guy), slammin my head into the Smith bar (also checking out a cute guy) & getting my pinkie stuck under a heavy dumbell on the rack (while talking to a cute guy).
 
I bet all of us have unloaded a bar and had the other side spill
making a huge racket that everyone in the gym stares at..

This is the best time to pull down your shorts..
 
hmmm, ive never really hurt myself that bad, worst thing is i fell over after doing hack squats. i was pushing so hard i was seeing dots. got dont with the set, stood up, and fell on my ass.
 
i knew this guy who would kiss the dumbell at the top of his curl. Once he put a little too much effort into the curl and knocked his front teeth out!! People make me laugh
 
I grabbed the 110 lb dumbell off the rack to do pullovers...
I usually pull it off and let it bounce off my upper thigh and then carry it there... this time.. i missed and drilled myself right in the balls..... I was lying on the floor for like 5 minuts... I actually went to the bathroom just to make sure i didnt rupture anything...
LOL
 
About six years ago when baggy gym pants were in style. I was walking past a bench and the bar got cought in the pocket of my pants. It pulled the bar off the arm of the bench and when it fell to the floor it took my pants with it because it was stil stuck in my pocket. that sucked.
 
I split my workout pants right down the butt seam when I was squatting a couple months ago. My gf was working out at the time so I had her stable the seam shut, only to have them rip again on leg curls. I had to leave the gym with a sweatshirt tied around my waist.
Then there was the other time where me and a friend were loading weight on to EZ curl bar on a weight stand. I was putting a 45lb plate on the bar at what I thought was the same time he was. Well my sideof the bar came slamming down into the rack with my finger in between the plate and the rack and the other end of the bar (his side) flew up and hit him in the chin. So there I was holding a bleeding busted finger and his chin was a mess.
 
I dropped 455lbs on my stomach last week bench pressing. I was bring the weight down niceand controlled, when...oops, the bar rolled off my palms and fell right onto my stomach.

Best ab workout I've ever had.

Broke a big toe badly by dropping a 45 directly on its edge on my toe, got distracted looking at a OSU volleyball chick in grey spandex- you could see where she was sweating lol:D :p to be 18 again .
 
I brought both db down into both hip bones from a db incline press when I was 18.

I doubled the purple bands recently with 315 on the bar, not quite realizing the diff. doubling the bands makes and I almost sliced my body in half with the bar it came at me so fast. The whole gym, most of whom already look at me funny b/c of the shit I do, was staring at me. I pressed it after I stopped giggling like a little girl

Ive seen a couple guys 'accidentally' hit their balls w/dumbells....& then they look around to see if any girls saw them do it-- like they want us to know they have real tough balls or something. Weird!

At that point I really couldn't care what level of strength my balls had.. lol.... It was the worst 'sacking' I have ever takin in my life.... even worse than when you go to scratch an itch and do the good ol' pinch and role technique and accidently crush one of your balls.. lol... I guess you probably wouldn't understand that msbeverly.. but im sure the guys here do :D
 
Bench pressing and going to put the bar back on uprights, only one side went on. The other side came crashing down on my forehead (side) it was funny. My wife was in the room and did`nt even know what happened.

Riding a dirt bike many years ago and kicked a bucket filled with cement. my big toe, oh my big toe
 
Here's for most idiotic.

I was trying to get ready to do a bodybuilding show about four years ago. Somehow in getting off of the exercise bike I pulled my groin very badly. Not only could I not lift lower body i couldn't do any cardio and had to skip out on the show. Just remember those bikes are more difficult than they look.:(

I had a bar with 45 lbs on each side laying on a thin bench. I was dismantling it (cuz some asshole left it there after his skull crushers) and I removed one side. The other side came down and catapulted the end I had in hand an inch away from my face...that could have killed me :S.

Bench press, I forgot to clip the bar so the weights spilt over on one side, then on the other side and the bar came crashing down on my chest. Good thing they were 2 10'lbers.

I have a new accident everyday...the worst I"ve heard of (from a PE teacher in my school) - heed to this warning

Some guy was loading 45s on a bench barbell, but he got cocky so he slid it in fast, little did he know his cock was in front of the 45'er that was already in place...Well you know the rest, it became a spoon ;)
 
HOLY SHIT... me and my 2 other friends were doin donkey calf raises it was then 2 onmy back with a plate.. they are skinny guys soooo, ya know.. well it was in my garage and this car full of hot girls drove through my alley and were beeping and laughing at us.. then i started laughing and they fell off of me and the plate somehow fell on my foot then on them... it was horrible:(
 
I was doing squats one time and this guy (who was crowding me at the time doing bb curls with 20's on a power rack) <-- why cant people realize not to attempt to load a bar next to a guy who's squatting if there is not enough room?

Anyways he goes to load another 10 pounds and while i'm in a middle of my set he drops it. It bounces off of the weight tree and hits the bottom end of the mirror, shattering the mirror in front of me and almost taking off my right foot with glass.

I almost push pressed my loaded bar and threw it at him.
 
when I was 15, I got pissed at my parents, went to my room and took it out on the leg curl machine. I did so many I blew my load.
I had to sneak downstairs and change my underwear.
 
Just the other day I was doing weighted ab crunchs. I was straining on the last few and I leaned my head to the side a little then SMACK right into the bench. Had a huge knot :o

One time I was fucking with my partner and acted like I couldnt lift my bench. He started picking it up and then when he noticed I wasnt serious he was like "oh fuck you" and dropped the weight. Then I REALLY couldnt get it up because the weight slammed on my chest and I couldnt breath. He thought I was still fucking around. He finally decided I wasnt when I started turning red :D

Donkey calves is not the most hetero looking exercise, i can see why they were laughing bro:FRlol: :rainbow:
 
this wasnt me, but my 8th gym teachers told me about a student that was using a leg press machine, and his feet slipped off at full leg extension, and the foot placement thing slammed back and hit the kids shins, snapping them in half.
 
My best one so far happened early on in my PL training.

We were doing speed bench, and Hannibal had set the rack up with two minis for me to do a 3 board press on. I'd never done anything with bands before, so that was a different experience in and of itself.

As soon as I unracked the bar, it came crashing down to the board as the rack came up from the floor, pinning me in between. Seems Hannibal hadn't placed dumbbells on the base of the power rack, and it all came together.

Spatts still says if not for the board, I probably would have had a broken sternum, and then the bar would've come up and broken my jaw.

After a brief break during which the rack was weighted down, I got back on the bench and finished my sets.
 
That was some scary shit...I can't fathom the length of a nanosecond, but it couldn't have been much more than that between unracking the bar and instant pinning. It was fast and hard...I hate to think what would've happened if not for the boards.

I suppose my worst was just a few weeks ago. I was doing something...can't remember what, and fell forward with the weight. My SPOTTERS *AHEM* must've been in the corners getting down with their bad selves, so to speak, because I proceeded to attempt stapling my face to the floor via a barbell to the pituitary...while still sitting on the box. Pins at the bottom of the rack broke my fall just as my chin brushed the floor.

Man, I was pissed...
 
Has anyone tripped in a gym before and accidently rammed an olympic bar up their ass?

Better yet, has anyone accidently tripped and accidently fell into someones ass tongue first in the gym before?? An accidental rim-job??

Just curious. :)

1.A few years ago I put a loaded bar in the squat rack after my last set of deads.I guess I was in a hurry,and was taking off 2 plates per side.I ended up having 3 on one side,and had just taken 2 of the 3 off of the other side.Just as I pull them off,the one side starts to flip over,just as a guy(that would have killed me)was walking by that side.So...I automatically dropped the 2 45's,and grabbed the bar..saving him.The 2 45's broke my toe :/
2.I was working on snatch form with 115lbs,and at the top,my arms kept going backwards,so I had to drop the bar from overhead...no bumper plates
Having bad gas,and screaming f*ck,in front of a girl's parents,which you are trying to impress,after someone accidently hits you in the knee with a dumbell,is never a good thing either
 
Got pinned by 75 lbs barbell bench in first few months of training

was doing squat lockouts with 495, one of safety pins slid off, and I had to stand there with 495 with my core shaking and me scared for about 10 seconds until my partner put the pin back in

tried snatches and as i was about to overhead squat it, it fell on me, and i did a back roll.. it missed me by a hair

[/I can't count the number of max attempt snatches I have done this with. That is why bumper plates are crucial, b/c this is actually the proper way to miss.

That reminds me of another painfull lesson I learned with a max clean and jerk. I pulled low b/c it was probably too much and so I never got my arms clear into the rack position at the bottom, so I ended up taking 365 lbs of compression on my right forearm which was pinned between my thigh and the bar... it hurt for 6 months:D
 
The pictures which you recently took, you snatched 185 pounds. How did you put it down? Just dropped it on the floor?.. because they were regular iron plates.. I can't imagine another way to put it down, you can't just bring it down back to your chest like after a jerk, it would kill your rotators.
 
By the way, those forearm and wrist injuries are a killer. I remmember doing military presses without the clips, and one of the plates began to slide. Obviously i tried to compensate, but some idiot decided to come up from behind and slide it back. I lost all stability in my forearms, and it tweaked my wrist hard. Still can't bend it to 90 degrees. I can only imagine what 365 lbs will do to your joints..
 
with that weight i can just bring it down, but I would not advise this. I learned to olympic lift with a great coach in a weight room with ten olympic platforms with a full set of bumper plates at each. I spent three years there. I took those pics after I did some bicep tendon prehab at a fitness type gym that does not have bumpers, if you don't have bumpers, or at least enough matts and room then forget olympic lifting, it can't be done effectively and safely.
 
Injuries, oh how I love them:

1. In high school I ripped my right shoulder out of socket while power cleaning. Not very funny except it made a really neat noise and I screamed like a five year old girl. (no offense to any five year old girls)

2. Training early morning I wasn't paying attention and gave myself a black eye with a pulldown bar that was hanging near my head. I didn't that was funny, but it woke up afterwards.

3. Vomitting. I don't normally puke too often, but I'm sure it is funny as hell when I do. Last time there was an older gentleman that looked like he was going to drop a brick in his pants when I ran to the trash can and nonchalantly let it fly and then added more weight to the bar and did eight more reps. He went to the other side of the gym like I was going to hit him with projectile puke (probably would have been funnier if I did).
 
vomit is the single funniest thing that happens in the weight room...well when its your training partner and you are responsible, kinda like a reward for a job well done
 
Smoked my head on the end of the bar on a smith machine a couple of weeks ago. Gym was pretty full at the time too.

Dropped the bar doing wrist curls last night. Made a nice racket.
 
Well, it was my first (and last) time doing lunges. I went down and suddenly felt this pain in my chest. Didn´t think much of it and continued with the weights. Next day waking up I barely got out of the bed. Went to the health center and the diagnosis: a broken rib! I'm still trying to figure out how in the hell is it possible to break a rib doing lunges. :confused:
 
Me:

Dumped a barbell to uneven loading. That only happens once to everyone.

Chipped a tooth doing upright rows. I always heard these are dangerous.

Been hit in the head with various pulldown attachments.


I saw a guy drop 455 on his feet while doing stiff-legged deads on one of those elevated deadlift pads.
 
Another good one at the gym I worked at. I saw these two guys doing bench. They obviously didn't know what they were doing. When the guy benching lost the weight the spotter grabbed it. But he had his feet way behind him and he and the bar came crashing down on the bencher. The spotter did a complete flip over the poor guy and landed on his head in the floor next to the bench. I was laughing too hard to go and help them luckily no one got hurt, though I never did see them in the gym again.

Not an accident (thank god it owuld have been ugly), but one time in college I went to the gym and the hottest chick I've ever seen in my life was there. I got some major wood and it was pretty obvious since I was wearing boxers and umbros. It wouldn't go away, so I just had to leave (trying to kind of hide it with my shirt) and "exorcise the demons" :D.
 
doing triceps push downs with the straight bar,my arms fully extened trying to get a better grip at the bottom,the bar slips off my hands and knocked myself in the NUTS.it was to funny.
 
One time I was doing curls next to this old man and his wife who were doing squats. Well, she was warming up and she was crowding me, I was about to go complain to her about ruining my hardcore bicep workout, when all of the sudden, the bar hit me! Her husband hit me with the bar, I was gonna go give him a piece of my mind, but somehow I had fallen down, and couldn't get up. Geez, people have no respect for us hardcore types.
