Your undergraduate barely matters I thought, why if I do good here can I not move on to somewhere more prestigious like you did?
Be me
> 8 yrs old, late 80's neighbor owns local hardcore BB gym and is high school best friend of my dad. Ride my bike past his gym all the time always stop in and hang out, lets me use his parking lot for bike riding and shit. Go in one day, guy squatting, blood shoots out all over from his nose, looses balance, plates slide off lands on spotters foot, barbell flips over knocks other spotter down and gets embedded into the concrete block wall, this cause several other drops and stumbles from others, and ends with the squat rack crashing through the window front of the business.
That's why I ALWAYS use collars

>>35266270
>>I will continue to do this because I no longer want to be a fat fuck for the rest of my life
That's stupid as fuck, bro. You don't need to lift to not be fat, and if you become a fucking cripple, you're definitely gonna get fat from your suddenly sedentary lifestyle. Cut it out with the heavy fucking lifting, eat better, and go for a fucking jog here and there. Jesus...

>>35266880
like that other anon, i too enjoyed this story.
i've always wondered what i'd do in a situation similar to this. if i'm in a set and someone nearby hurts themsevles/ something else similar, do i finish or stop? what if it's during a PR?
>>35266177
I had a girl ask me if I was done with a squat rack once.
>>35266225
Same thing sort of happened to me a few years ago at my uni gym, but I didn't miss the rep.
>first time squatting three plaet
>finish the set, sweaty and shaking but pumped up
>take a plate off one side
>then another
>then the third
>barbell falls hard on fast on the other side
>side near me whips up and clatters against the cage
Nobody was hurt, the equipment wasn't really damaged, the floor took a little bit of a beating. The worst of it was definitely the embarrassment though.

>>35266929
There is a story somewhere about a car crashing through the wall of a gym, and like two people finished there sets of squats before investigating.
The point is, you do you. Attach your own oxygen mask before attending the needs of others and children. Once you start, you finish your set before anything else.

Fucking dead
I was reracking the weight after doing squats. I guess I didn't place it all the way on the pins because as I was ducking under it to leave the right side fell off the pin and the bar hit me in the head. I'm pretty sure the only reasons I'm still alive is because it was only 185 and it hit me before it had enough time to accelerate. I checked my head by running my fingers through my hair and I couldn't find any blood. Now I always do a double check after racking the weight. Be careful guys... you can die doing squats, it's not just bench.
