MuscleTech & FBS present: Gym Fails

[blokpost]

Did you trip?

Going to Greece in a week, but how did you know

[fatboystick]

Gonna add mine since my boy wants to know lol

I was doing 5/3/1 at the time and it was my deadlift day. I go to the gym and all the deadlift areas where taken. So I do a complete back workout almost a hour and not one station opened up. So I said I guess tomorrow I’ll get it in. Went back the next day and it is my squat day but decided to do dead’s first. I do the usual warmup 215x10 then 315x10. Then I get into my working sets and pulled 565 for 1. Dropped back down to around 400 to finish my set. Since that only took a half a hour I was like ok I’ll start squats. Start with my warmup set at 135 and usually do 10-15 to get me going. I unrack the 135 and take a step back. Go down and I can’t get back up lol. My legs where destroyed from the dead’s and I’m just stuck there for a second till I fall backwards. Luckily the bar stopped on the cage and I just sat down on the floor laughing like a idiot.
I put the weights away and just feel everyone looking at me - do some abs and left

Yeah, sometimes your body just gives you a big "F You"

my best (or worst) gym fail involves me and the family cat.

i primarily work out at home in the garage. one of the things i like about a home gym is that i dont have to pay attention to what others are doing and i can just do as i please. when im out there doing my thing, the music is blasting and im oblivious to my surroundings. so anyways, a couple years ago im doing some dumbbell training and adding and subtracting weight plates as i go.

at this time the cat was just out of the kitten stage but still curious, playful and fearless. she would hang out in the garage with me and get into whatever trouble she could while crawling in and around things. so, im lying on the bench changing some small 2.5 lb plates and i drop them on the floor like i always do...except this time the cat lets out a blood curdling howl and takes off running. i tracked it down and got her to come out of hiding and found that i had dropped the weight rite on its tail!

one look told me that the tail was broken and i immediately took the cat to vet to see what could be done. he said i could pay for x-rays and that he could immobilize and wrap it up or i could just save the money, leave it alone and that the cat would be fine....just a crooked tail. naturally, i took the 2nd option.

im glad i saved the money cuz the cat disappeared soon after. but ill never live down this 'fail' with my family as im still constantly reminded of it.

the poor kittys tail looked something like this after our little encounter.... lol

thanks for the generous promo, ive heard alot of good things about Vapor X5 and would love to review it!

awwwwww.....i bet the cat considered this a wayyyy bigger failure than you did!

[LoudyRowdy]

Not participating since I already won a tub 2 weeks ago....

Winners who opt for Vapor X5, I STRONGLY recommend you select the Cotton Candy flavor

[bojanglez34]

WHen doing front squats the other day I was trying a new max without a spotter so when I was down low enough where I hit the safety bar I couldn’t get back up so I sat there acting like it was part of my routine until I didn’t see anyone’s looking then I crouched under the bar and racked it and walked away

I suppose falling off the rower while still having one foot strapped in and face planting would count?

[burntreality]

You mean Dis?

In for support and this always makes me smile.

[Marshall28]

Need moar!

[mormonpickett]

One time I was doing incline bench with 225. I got stuck (was by myself) and so I rolled it down to my hips, thrust it off and up and started doing deadlifts with 225 to make it seem like I meant to do that lol.

I noticed a few guys were watching me and a few days later I saw some guys doing the same thing on purpose haha

LMAOOO

Somehow I can imagine this happening lolol
rolling the 225 to your hips must've hurt

I dont see the issue...he simply did a bench press negative rep, moved right into hip thrust, into a dead lift to complete the giant set

But can you reverse the order is the true question

Was feeling good one day doing squats and hit 355 pretty easily. Decided to try for a new PR and like an idiot I skipped right to 375 instead of doing 365 first. My spotter wasnt paying attention and I started to go way to far forward with no recovery possible....... I had to lower the bar forward and onto the safety rack, pretty much an ATG squat without standing up. I got halfway up though before the slow descent downward lol.

Damn
Will you have my back if I fail on squats?
Hmm.. Let's call it cross-fit

[Daemonium]

Not from the US so I'm not entering to win, but here's one of the few real fails I've had.

Was in my sh!tty uni gym during my undergrad (first year). I usually wouldn't lift in there but didn't have a choice that day. There were no racks at the time so I was doing shrugs on a bench press. I think there was around 385lbs on the bar or so. When I was done, obviously not paying attention, I stripped the one side of the bar. Before I knew it, the bar catapulted off the bench press and into the ground, thankfully not hitting anyone. I got a few unimpressed stares (rightfully so), but I just brushed it off and went about my business. I still think about what would have happened if I had gotten someone hurt. Safe to say it hasn't happened to me since.

Haha...not sure...but also not gonna try to find out

Oh damn, no joke...that could have turned out bad! Funny how doing something once prevents you from doing it again (well, at least those of us who learn quickly...lol)

[fatboystick]

This past week I was on the bench press trying to hit a new high for myself and 2 reps in that bar came down right on my chest and rolled onto my neck. I had to fail like a fosh to get it back onto my chest so i could roll it off.
I left after that. Too embarrassed to stay.

Do I automatically win this lol

Mine isn't from a gym since this was back from when I worked out at home in high school. I used to have a small bench setup on my back patio before I purchased a rack and had a pretty nice setup in the garage (much to the dismay of my parents who now had to park their cars outside). The arms on the bench could adjust high enough to where I could use them for squats. I would keep the spare weights in the area where I would squat to keep from taking up too much space, but when I squat I would just move them enough to where there's a small opening for my feet. Well one time I was off balance a bit and took a step back and stepped on the plates. I promptly lost my balance completely and wiped out, narrowly missing putting the bar through the back door glass. There were people over at the time so they, along with my parents, come outside to see what that loud thud was and find me just sitting there in shame with weights thrown everywhere. I suppose 5 people is less shame than a gym full of people though.

In. This is after about 6 months of going to the gym trying to get 205 I think, about 2 and half years ago


I saw this brah in the gym every single day and was lucky he was there. After that day, only ever saw him 3 more times, super jacked looking, then saw him at the movies DYEL status, and one final time back to pretty much the original.

The legend was never to be seen again

I wish I still had footage of this happening but unfortunately don't but I'll explain briefly below.

Before I use to have a home gym. On one of my bench days I pushed for one more rep when I know I shouldn't of. Well my dumb ass had the safeties set too low so when I went to press and couldn't get it the weight came down on me and pinned me.

I had my garage door open since it was during the summer. So here I am pinned under the barbell and I start yelling for my wife's help from the garage. "Diana come help me". I'm yelling this over and over and notice cars passing by just looking.

My wife some how hears me and comes flying through the door. It literally seemed like it was forever but it was only a couple seconds. She B lines right to the power rack where I'm at and helps me get the barbell off of me. I look at her and tell her "what took so long" lol and proceed to continue with my training.
