I would probably die if I fell off the treadmill, and I've been close a couple times.0

Single leg frog jump burpees- I was going back and forth across an LA Fit gym floor (so it covers space between free weights and machines- and the whole upstairs cardio section can see you)
I may have just not stood up after I landed on my one leg- it just kind of bent- as a shock absorb-er- and kept bending and I sat straight down on my *kitten*. for all the world to see.
shrug- again- these things happen LOL0 -
After one particularly rough set of leg extension/squat/box jump superset, I may have allowed my knees to buckle, dropping me on my *kitten* where I may or may not have puked a little.
it happens.0 -
While removing the pin to change the weight on a stack of plates, I forgot that the bar connected to the cable was heavier than the lightest plate. The bar came down and I took a thump to the head.
I also managed to get distracted and caught my fingers beneath a dumbbell that I was re-racking. Not fun, but it happens.0 -

Hah, I thought that was the way I was supposed to re-rack dumbbells! Smashed fingers!0 -
I got a little too excited and my foot came off of an elipitcal. I fell forward onto the terminal. Luckily no one else was there ;D0

Did you get it sewed back on?0 -
OP, want a "fail"?
I missed a deadlift at 455 because I held my breath. I went from seeing everything fine, to my vision starry, my gripped slipped, knees buckled, and I spent about 3 minutes sitting on my butt wondering if I was going to pass out.
PS- Don't hold your breath when playing with maxes.0 -
I was doing the overhead pull down and missed the seat. Bad enough to hit the floor but I have an artificial hip and am 6 weeks from getting the 2nd replaced so trying to get up off the gym floor was almost impossible!
After my trainer made sure I was OK we continued like nothing happened. Stuff happens, you just have to roll with it.0 -

Nope, it just popped back on ;D0 -

hah.... and this is why the forums are so great.... ya learn you're not the only one! OP sounds like you already have figured out what you need to do to move forward.
Feels good when you realize your fellow workout mates are dealing with some of the same things and getting right back up, picking up where they left off.

On Monday I failed at my bench press. Tried to low rack the bar on the save spot just a few inches up and could only get one side on and then was flailing my feet trying to get it up on there all the way, and stuck because I couldn't roll of shame with one side up. Some dude ran over and saved my dumb *kitten*.
It was especially embarrassing because it's not like my bench numbers are very impressive

Dumbbell press... almost dropped a 30lb on my face after failing the rep.
Unracking after squats I stood up a little too quick banging my head on the bar.0 -

I have done the same when I saw some guy try to put 50 pounds more on bench when he barely got one rep of the previous rep. As soon as he got stuck on his chest I was already running over there to help him. It happens.

Yup. That's what got me on my butt last week. Only 330, and only a few seconds not a few minutes.

Yup, I've done this and ended up with a bump on my head for days. Ouch!

You should always properly warm-up! I always do a few light reps before busting out the real weight. But yes....if you go to the gym often and you train hard, you will fail or do something embarrassing. Laugh about it. Anyone who see's you and also trains hard will understand. They might laugh with you though, haha. Who care's what anyone else thinks.
Shake, shake it off

I was a bit gassed, I'm pretty sure I was sandbagging, because walking lunges and leg extensions were next... lol.Iron_Miss_Canada wrote: »OP, want a "fail"?

I had two sets left ... Then box squats and some back work. And then I had to get my volume bench day done. Yup. That day sucked

Eugh, brah. You MUST hold your breath or risk turning your spine to dust. ESPECIALLY on max effort deadlifts.

lol, gotta love it. I think I'm going to go back and do another 100 deadlifts today.0
