Nothing this week... but a couple weeks ago, I hit myself in the face with the bar three days in a row. Twice in the chin while doing push jerks, and once in the nose while doing a thruster. I guess it's good that I'm keeping the bar close to my body, but I really need to quit hitting myself in the face.

I do band-assisted pullups and I was so exhausted doing Fran during Tuesday's warm-up that I snatched my foot out a bit too roughly and got popped in the face with it.

I slid off the back of the seat on the rowing machine....:embarassed:

Pushed my hips too much when doing a clean and the bar got a taste of pubic bone.
Was hurting so bad but didn't want to go into the "I really need to pee" pose. :-/

and I've dropped the bar on my foot once. That probably hurt more than anything. It was a 45# bar doing snatches because I still cant add weight. Least.favorite.lift lol

Might not be the fail you guys are describing, but I felt like one the other night in week 3 of onramp. I am a big guy with a good amount of weight to lose and they mixed to of my weaknesses together for the wod, 400 M Run and 15 Pushups, 3RFT. Finished well past the last person 10:37 and had to struggle on my knees for my last few pushups, in front of the next class warming up for the 13.3 open wod. I know I shouldn't get down on myself and have determined some weaknesses I need to work on, but it was still hard not to walk out feeling defeated. I have never been last when it came to athletics, but have seen my physical condition, continue to get worse since college football ended. OK, rant over, thanks for listening.

Have hit my face with bar a couple times.
Once failed a back squat but struggled to get bar off my back because it got tangled up in my pony tail.
eta: Massive fail on 24" box jump. Banged up both shins with some nice bloody gashes.

Biggest fail though is ignoring shoulder pain for 8 months and then find out I have a full thickness rotator cuff tear

The group was very supportive, it was just one of those tough mental nights. Back tonight to rock it out.

it's always equipment failure - everyone knows that


edit - also grateful you didn't hurt yourself!!!!!

Banged and scraped my OTHER shin doing box jumps this morning. First jump of the WOD. Fabulous.

Now I have a matching set.

Wallballs landing on my face - check. Every time.

I also whip myself regularly trying to do double unders. When I go grocery shopping after the gym, people have given my forearms worried looks. I want to reassure them that I'm not suicidal.

Around Christmas, I clocked myself under the chin with a 45-lb bar. I can't remember what I was doing - maybe push presses? but I gouged a nice chunk of inner lip off with my teeth.

I've done that one too, during push presses. My coach was freaking out but I was cracking up out of embarrassment.

I beat the hell out of myself with the speed rope whenever I try doing double-unders. I can get a couple of them, but when I miss I smack myself HARD with a thin wiry rope and it hurts like Hades.

I've done a lot of theses too; wall ball in the chin -- yes! Barbell to the chin-- yes! Barbell to the nose -- yes!

I've also hit my chin on the ground doing burpees, and pinched my finger between plates.
