Title: What's the worst experience you ever had training ??
Post by: Palpatine Q on December 06, 2012, 11:20:57 AM
For me it was when i was young and lifting in my basement. I had an assortment of plastic and steel, bench, squat rack and home made lat machine...very basic shit.

So what i wound up doing as i got stronger was use extension cords and hang weights of off the end of the bar because the plastic weights take up so much room. of course there comes the day when I get stuck under the weight and i can't get it up, but with the shit tied to the ends i can't do the the old tilt and dump routine. I'm fucked

To make matters worse, my brothers room was right above me, and he was home...but he was listening to Led Zeppelin's "The song remains the same" which is a live record, so there's no pause between songs where i could yell out for help. Then the best part...a fucking spider comes down on his web from the rafters, lands on my chest and starts crawling around as I'm trying to blow it off of me. I HATE fucking spiders.

I'm flipping out big time, the weight is starting to really hurt and i'm losing strength. Finally the first side of the record ends, i hear footsteps as he goes to flip it over and i scream as loud as i can "HEEEELLLPPP!!!!" . he heard me, came downstairs and was laughing his balls off at me as he got me out of the predicament i was In....that was one fucked up experience.

hard to pick out of my various injuries that have occurred in the gym,,,,

but one of the best things ive seen is one of my buds benching 3 plates a side on his own, with no spot ( cos he doesnt need one) , puts the bar back, land one side down and totaly misses the other side.. nearly wiped out some poor little newby standing near by

i got stuck on (well under) a leg press at 18yrs old with 16 plates on each side doing half reps like a jackass...

lucky that i did not get hurt but i learned my lesson... took folks about 3-4 minutes to realize that i was trapped (i didn't ask for help right away) and the only other people in the gym at the time were old and weak and could barely unload the plates...

the gym owner laughed so hard when he heard the story that he wasn't even mad

The barbell (during benchpress) once slipped, rolled across my palms and almost crushed my balls. (7 years ago)

Luckily it hit right below my stomach/right above the penis instead.

I tripped over someones water bottle whilst attempting to rack a pair of 110 dumbbells after a set of shrugs.   Ended up falling on one knee and spraining my right ACL.  Some people have a habit of inadvertently placing their water bottles in the pathway of people walking around, and that kind of inattentiveness can cause nasty accidents when you have people carrying around weights.   Partly my fault for not paying full attention of what was in my path, but that shit happens.

It landed right above the penis though so it was hella pain either way, but no life-changing injury, but was VERY close from being one.

Was doing DB shoulder presses.

I was young, so I threw around the big weights. Had the 110's in each hand. Kicked them up, did my reps, then went to put them down. But I was tired, and wanted to be a big boss. So I let them drop from shoulder height to the ground.

Which would have made a sweet boom. Except my left toe broke the fall of one of the dumbells.

It was the most excruciating gym pain I've ever had. For some odd reason, the toe did not explode, though it felt like it should have. It just killed the toenail, made it bleed like a stuck pig, etc...

I just sat on the chair, rocked back and forth for a while, and let the tears stream down as I bit my lip. A few minutes later I limped thru the rest of my workout, suffered the longest walk home, and went to bed to try and sleep it off.

I`ve never been injured or anything like that.  However, one time I was at the gym doing ATG Squats with 350 or so on the bar and one of the metal sleeves where the weights go just fell off and came crashing to the floor with all of the weight.  When that happened the bar popped straight up and the other side came crashing down as well.  Someone could have easily been killed had they been standing right next to either side or seriously injured for life.  It was a scary feeling, especially when you have total control of the weight instantly slip away and there is nothing you can do.

Somebody had to have loosened the sleeve.

years ago I had a nice home gym, and sometimes would get drunk and start feeling like superman.  One night I was feeling like a pretty tough customer, so I went in and put 315 to start for deadlifts instead of my usual warmup and figured I would rep it out.  felt a weird pop after a couple of reps and had a small bulge on my abdomen which I assume was my intestines poking out.  It didn't hurt, and I just pushed it back in with my finger and decided I had enough  ;D  Had to take it easy for months after to avoid making it worse.  luckily a little time and some GH healed it on it's own, had an MRI a few months later that showed nothing.  I imagine things could have been a lot worse though... haven't drunk lifted since that night

The best one I ever saw was in my garage. me and my boy were doing dips off the bench, feet on a chair with a curling bar loaded with weight across our legs.

My buddy for some reason, puts ONE foot down at the end of his set. the bar tips one way, drops the weights off, shoots back up the other way and slams into the side of his head, opens up a gash and knocks him out cold.

Strained a pec, or the tendon in my armpit doing flat bench.  It popped while repping out a lot of weight with not the cleanest form.  I stopped, waited a few minutes and loaded a few more pounds on the bar for my next set, did one rep and had to be done for the day.  I couldn't do chest for a few weeks, and even after that couldn't do flat or decline bench for at least six months.  Incline was okay, but I was 22 and stupid.

Also, while squatting, I guess I strained too hard, and almost passed out and all of a sudden had a major headache, and had to leave the gym.  I'm sure it was pretty close to blowing out a blood vessel.  ;D

When my brother and I hadn't been training long we were doing standing calf raises using a smith machine and a wood platform about 6 or so inches high and maybe 2 feet square or so.

He was doing a set and apparently we didn't think the physics through very well, because the platform tipped so his feet went to the floor and the platform stood up and at the same time he was falling face first with the bar on his neck right towards the platform which was standing upright now.  Luckily the bar turned forward on its way down so the hooks caught and it stopped before he really got hurt.  We didn't do calf raises in that manner anymore.

One time I had the leg press loaded up and for some reason I unloaded one entire side first.  That made a pretty good crash when it tipped.

I can sympathise with this one.
For years the best bar at my gym (before they recently invested in a bunch of crackng Ivanko ones) was an old top quality bar that's maybe 20 years old. Perfect flex and grip but the weld keeps going on one side and you had to make sure you checked it before every lift. Never came apart on me but I think it might have on other peoploe.



Personally, my worst experience in the gym didn't happen to me. I was spotting one of my old training partners, a guy maybe 5'6' and 170lbs. He was using a false grip and the bar slipped from his hands and down onto his chest quicker than I could move. Only 95lbs on teh bar but it took the wind out of him and I was wracked with guilt. No damage donw though, phew!

There was this Stupid fucking latino dude at the gym big guy but very watery, he has a tattoo of "HIMSELF" in posing trunks from his shoulder to his elbow doing a front double bicep pose

anyways he proceeded to Load up this squat machine to the max, i think it holds like 12 plates a side or so (24 x45lbs) yet he would barley manage to squat 2 plates with a barbell, anyways after all his grunting and yelling he finished his set, and started to unload the entire machine from one side only, well machine tilted and spilled 45's all over the gym floor , as well as  35's , 25's , 10's , 5's , 2.5's when it also knocked over the weight tree.

He finally had all EYES on him , we all watched him pick up every plate on his own


he was squating using this thing

My very first power lifting competition i opened with 335 on bench and i locked it out so hard the barbell popped out of my hands because i was using a false grip and landed on my collar bone area then rolled to my neck. Lucky for me i had spotters who grabbed it in time. The spotters saw the bar come up so fast they relaxed and then bam the bar popped out of my hands. Left a very bad bruise and made me nervous the rest of the meet. I never used a false grip after that meet.

I had a small barbell come apart similar to TA when i was doing curls and one side slipped straight off while i lost control of the bar and it landed on my foot. It hit my foot square on the top and i could barely walk for about a week.

The first time i tried to do 110 DB's on incline i popped them back too hard and strained my left shoulder as the left DB went right over and landed on the floor behind me.

Hit myself in the chin many times doing power cleans and overhead BB presses. Split my chin open twice doing push presses.

didn't happen to me but I was at an old school YMCA years ago working out near Detroit while I was on a work trip.  A bunch of guido 80's type lifters in there.  Long mullet type hair but severe balding in front with their hair slicked back. Wearing gray sweats with the neck part cut out.  A bunch of Mike Matarazzo wannabes.

There were about 4 or 5 at the squat rack cheering each other on during squats.  Lifting heavy for 1 rep.  Then one guy goes down and all I can hear is mayhem coming from the group, laughing, choking, swearing.  I looked to see what happened and the guy shit his pants, straight squirts,  I can see a huge brain stain on the gray sweat pants and he just drops the weights on the catches and runs off to the bathroom.

Surprisingly though I thought for sure the guy would never show his head again, but about 20 minutes later came back out in his street clothes and finished his workout with the other guidoes.

was on holiday and joined a gym in a nearby hotel, had just finished benching and went to unload the bar, but mind wandered for a min and started to unload one side of bar without taking anything from other...

So obviously bar catapults up at 100mph, it was one of those gyms with mirrored walls all round, so the bar goes crashing into the mirrors and weights are crashing everywhere, look round and everyone in gym is just starring open mouthed.
On the plus side, unbelievably the mirror never broke!

Nothing serious only funny.
I had gone to the doctor the day before or day of and they took blood.
So, I was training biceps/and triceps. I noticed this purple spot on my bicep right where they took blood, and it kept getting bigger and pooling around that area. I got nervous, and stopped doing biceps. So, I went and continued doing triceps. My last exercise was close grip bench press with 40 on each side, this was my 4 exercise out of 5. And I was exhausted, and I was the only one in the gym, I hit failure, and I tried to rack it on a lower notch and missed, and it came down on my chest and the weight went to one side and slide off.
Now, this was in the presence of cameras, so I bet I gave the owner a good laugh. After 15 minutes  I went straight to the dip bar.

My worst experience would have to be when I took NO explode (green flavour) and for some reason it made me vomit during my training in the gym.  I had used it for a while and had no issues with it, so didn't think I would ever get sick on it.  Mind you it was the orange flavour that I usually used.  This time I had the green one and my stomach always felt a bit niggly on it.  So this day was legs and I was training with a friend.  I began to feel sick on it but because I was training with someone I didn't ease up...I kept pushing it.  I told her I felt sick and she encouraged me to drink more water which might have made it worse.  I was doing SLD's when I felt it come up and so I ran to the bathroom which was close by and began throwing up in the sink.  All this green stuff was coming up.  I cleaned myself up and went back to SLD's.  Half way through the next set I felt dizzy and my legs were weak, I couldn't move and I wanted to throw up.  I grabbed my towel and began vomiting into in front of everybody.  Guys were asking my friend what was wrong with me and she told them it was a supplement I had taken.  I couldn't do anything after that.  I sat down on a bench until I had the strength to throw my vomit ridden towel away in the industrial bins outside.

sounds like a final destination scenario
For me it was when i was young and lifting in my basement. I had an assortment of plastic and steel, bench, squat rack and home made lat machine...very basic shit.

So what i wound up doing as i got stronger was use extension cords and hang weights of off the end of the bar because the plastic weights take up so much room. of course there comes the day when I get stuck under the weight and i can't get it up, but with the shit tied to the ends i can't do the the old tilt and dump routine. I'm fucked

To make matters worse, my brothers room was right above me, and he was home...but he was listening to Led Zeppelin's "The song remains the same" which is a live record, so there's no pause between songs where i could yell out for help. Then the best part...a fucking spider comes down on his web from the rafters, lands on my chest and starts crawling around as I'm trying to blow it off of me. I HATE fucking spiders.

I'm flipping out big time, the weight is starting to really hurt and i'm losing strength. Finally the first side of the record ends, i hear footsteps as he goes to flip it over and i scream as loud as i can "HEEEELLLPPP!!!!" . he heard me, came downstairs and was laughing his balls off at me as he got me out of the predicament i was In....that was one fucked up experience.

Creepy old dude used to stand naked in the locker room and brag about Vegas hookers that blew him etc. One day he's telling this story about a hooker that blew him underwater in a hot tub. He's taking his long underwear off while he's telling the story. The guy is naked now and still bragging about this hooker BJ and he turns around and he has dried diarrhea plastered all down the backs of both of his legs all the way down to his calves. Stink was bad enough to knock a buzzard off a shit wagon.

I blew out a lumbar disk about 10 years ago while squatting. That wasn't fun.

I was also in a gym once, a few years after that, and this guy was in the squat rack repping away with a little bit of difficulty. He starts putting the grunt to effect toward the end of his set and he's getting louder and louder and then.....nothing. I was doing extensions next to him and I looked over to see what was up. He racked the weight, turned to me with big wide eyes and said "Fuck - I think I've just grown another ball" and ran off to the changing rooms. Never saw him again. I'm guessing he suffered a herniation toward the end of his set.

Went to the gym after finding out someone took a knife to my car's soft top so i wasn't very happy. Loaded the bar for squats, did my sets don't know what i was thinking but removed all the plates from one side, Bar just flipped, hit the ground hard and broke the fucking mirror. Everyone was looking and i was embaraced as fuck.

Doing pushpresses hit the bar on my chin, bit my tongue and blood everywhere, lots, had to go to the hospital.

The best one I ever saw was in my garage. me and my boy were doing dips off the bench, feet on a chair with a curling bar loaded with weight across our legs.

My buddy for some reason, puts ONE foot down at the end of his set. the bar tips one way, drops the weights off, shoots back up the other way and slams into the side of his head, opens up a gash and knocks him out cold.

Ouch...

Not sure what the worst experience I've had is... never had any very serious injuries from training, thankfully.

First time using squat suit. No one with any decent strength was around, weight wasn't much, something I could easily do without any suit or even belt. I didn't expect to go all the way down, I just wanted to try. Of course I couldn't handle the weight, I fell behind, nearly killed 18 yo who apparently was there for the first time. I've never seen this guy again. He was shaking and all like - "WHY DO YOU USE WEIGHTS YOU CANNOT LIFT". I didn't bother to explain.

Didn't see the threadmill was running, walked on it, fell forwards but tried to hold on to the rails at the side, ended kinda "running" and dragging my knees for quite a few seconds. Had to look ridiculous, yet everyone was stone-faced. Bleeding knees afterwards.

At 15, loaded the bar to squat. Went to deep, collapsed with the bar rolling over my head.

Serious back injury from leg-pressing. Worst pain I have ever felt, had to crawl afterwards.

At 18, I was bench pressing and my spotter wasn't watching.

I couldn't get the last one up, he didn't notice and the bar gradually came back, right on the end of my nose and then slip down the bottom of my nose resting on my top lip.

It split the skin between my nostrils from the tip of nose to my lip to the point where the cartilage was poking out. I had to pull the skin down so the cartilage popped back in. There was blood everywhere.

I was pissed off but not nearly as pissed off as the gym owner who gave the useless twat spotting me an instant ban.

Actually - I have another...

Was doing seated curls - alternate curls & when I'd done the last rep on my right, my arm was burning so like a dumbass I dropped the weight.

Of course, I didn't even attempt to counteract the weight on the left side and it pulled me down and I tore my right oblique. That's something you really do not want to do. Not if you do stuff like walking or breathing on a regular basis.

I was on the bike and a treadmill opened up on the other side of a gal on a treadmill.  I stood up, my brain left my body, and I walked across the back of her running treadmill.  It was like slow motion as I was on the verge of disaster, grabbing for her as she was looking back at me but moving up to the front of the treadmill so I couldn't get her.  My legs must have been whirling around like Fred Flinstone.  

Then I don't know what happened but I flew up into the air and flipped around and ended up on my back in between the 2 treadmills.  I thought people would be laughing at me when I looked up, but they were standing over me w/very concerned looks on their faces.  Just some scrapes and bruises on that one.


Then the best part...a fucking spider comes down on his web from the rafters, lands on my chest and starts crawling around as I'm trying to blow it off of me. I HATE fucking spiders.
