    No videos, but my third squat attempt in my first meet was a total fail. I panicked coming out of the hole, the bar rolled forward on me and nearly decapitated me. Of course, THAT'S the picture they took!

    Also, getting all psyched up to do a PR squat at the gym a couple of weeks ago, and nailed my head into the bar setting up. LOL.

    As fun as it is to laugh at other people, it's more entertaining to laugh at ourselves. To that end, I have some fail videos of my own.

    Some time in 2009 training in my garage: squatting, I pulled the bar down on myself https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZ-uSOrk_ag

    Provincial Championships 2011. Wait for the second squat. Ironically, this meet was my best total. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifRSZB5vn0g

    Finally, my best fail was on the world level. This was my opening deadlift at the IPF World masters championships in 2011.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOvbeShIY7s I ended up with a bronze on bench which is a laugh because I' m a crap bencher.

    Why not share your own personal fails

    I know the squat video is from 2011 but I was hoping you would nail the 140 kg squats the second time around ! Its awesome you posted videos of your own fails but there is no way I could call them fails. You just didn't succeed on a few lifts, and actually had the guts to compete...in front of people no less. In no way is that a fail.

    The last one that jcMey3r posted actually happened here at a YMCA in Ohio. The man was alone without a spotter. He died.


    Was that the one where it fell on the back of his neck? It looked like he probably broke his neck. Yikes.

    fwiw, I did get the 140 on the second attempt.

    I don't really consider them fails either. I just think we forget to laugh at ourselves. There's too many serious cats around.

    I see public fails all the time including world championships and no one cares. As long as no one is hurt it's just part of the game.

    The scariest one for me was the 140 squat where I dumped the bar. No one wants 308lbs falling off their backs and I thank god I didn't rack up my knees.

    I'm not sure if this is a gym fail or a fashion fail... hB48607CE


    That's gotta be from some adult film, right?

    So- I'm totally bumping this because it made my night/ruined.

    There are three of us over in an area- two dead lifting- and one guy who was squatting but moved on to the leg press- which is right there next to where we are.

    I'm not lifting- but I"m standing there.
    My friend is just finishing his set- so he's getting ready to set the weight down from the top of the lift.

    Random *kitten* walks between us to the chalk bowl (which is on like casters and is belly high) which is rigth there- where people dead lift.

    *kitten* rubs his hands in the bowl.

    Then pulls them out- and then claps them- not like dusts them or pats them- but CLAPS them- several times - like a child would.... chalk dust EVERYWHERE. I proceeded to fake cough for like 10 minutes- so rude. Anyway- wait- there's more.

    Then walks straight in front of where my Friend is bending over with like 315 on the bar.

    Needless to say Friend is a little miffed- but no real harm done- but we all watch *kitten* do a lap- come back toward us- like he was pacing- walk ALL the way back to the other side of the gym

    And the proceeds to get on the stretching thing- you know the big arch/arbor shapped stretcher thing- with foot pads- and bars everywhere.. just stretches.

    Seriously- guy chalked up- makes a big dust cloud and then stretches.

    thefu*k.


    I don't' normally laugh at people at the gym- but a.) if you're a *kitten*- and b.) you chalk up to stretch- I'm going to laugh at you.

    So we did. new joke- make sure you chalk up stretch- and also to pee- you don't want it sleeping out of your hands!!!!
