Failing a box squat at 6 am challenged my ability to think under pressure 🤣🤣 the gif doesn’t show the minutes I spent just sitting there trying to figure out how to get out of this..... I was basically preparing to die on that bench 😂😂

You are so adorable. Lol.
You did what I would... Tip back and roll it off the back. 😁0 -

This is where capturing facial expression would be enjoyable for the the rest of us 😉2 -

Okay I know I shouldn't laugh, but this would be me and that's why I'm belly laughing right now.
I'd be sitting there for 10 minutes not wanting to fail, confused about what was going on, multiple attempts to stand up, panicking on what to do next, and being deathly afraid of the geriatric crowd at the gym "turning me in" for dropping weights. Multiply this by 10 if I were there at 6AM.
Don't get me wrong I love the older people at the Gym because it's great to see them and their always friendly, but don't drop those weights or you'll be turned in.
Sometimes you can't get better unless you fail.

This place is the same....all old people and no dropping weights. I just kept re-attempting to get it up.... like I was magically going to get this spurt of strength 🤣🤣 I tried going forward, but luckily realized I would have been trapped face first on that bench folded in half...... omg could you even imagine 😳😂1 -

Good for you! You never do it if you don't challenge yourself. You'll get it next time!0 -

Great job, though! Much respect for lifting that early, too. I box squat almost entirely, and getting pinned on the box is a real bad feel. I have my safeties a bit higher and go forward over my head, but that doesn't at all feel good either (like, crunch flat to get out). What you did might be safer, idk.
It's kind of a bad position to be in.1 -

Thank you!!! I just gotta get better with the drive up which is exactly why my coach is having me do them 🙄1 -

It really was a confusing spot, it took me an alarming amount of time to figure out how to get of it 🤣2 -
