Has this shit ever happened to you or am I mentally challenged?
>>35456236
dw op we've all been there
What are clips?
>>35456236
>Has this shit ever happened to you or am I mentally challenged
It never happened to anyone who isn't mentally challenged or a kid
>>35456256
>>35456265
I'm using clips when squatting but I'm not used to them with bench press, shit like this never happened to me before. I usually control my form, not sure why I fucked up this time.
I dont use clips out of the same reason. It's better do drop the weight awkwaardly than to be trapped under a loaded bar
>>35456288
Just put clips on you faggot
should have owned it and laughed
Yes.
If i can't get a spotter ill dump the weights deliberately. People who laugh are normally half repping DYEL faggots.

don't do this
when you one day get inevitable stuck under the bar, you'll be fucked

What the darn-diddily-doodily did you just say about me, you little witcharooney? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class at Springfield Bible College, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret mission trips in Capital City, and I have over 300 confirmed baptisms. I am trained in the Old Testament and I’m the top converter in the entire church mission group. You are nothing to me but just another heathen. I will cast your sins out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before in Heaven, mark my diddily-iddilly words. You think you can get away with saying that blasphemy to me over the Internet? Think again, friendarino. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of evangelists across Springfield and your IP is being traced by God right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggorino. The storm that wipes out the diddily little thing you call your life of sin. You’re going to Church, kiddily-widdily. Jesus can be anywhere, anytime, and he can turn you to the Gospel in over infinity ways, and that’s just with his bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in preaching to nonbelievers, but I have access to the entire dang- diddily Bible collection of the Springfield Bible College and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your sins away off the face of the continent, you diddily-doo satan-worshipper. If only you could have known what holy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you from the Heavens, maybe you would have held your darn-diddily-fundgearoo tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re clean of all your sins, you widdillo-skiddily neighborino. I will sing hymns of praise all over you and you will drown in the love of Christ. You’re farn-foodily-flank-fiddily reborn, kiddo-diddily.

>roll of same
this can actually kill you as well
if you have, say, 2pl8s (100kg), and you roll that bar over your ab area, your organs will get crushed, and you might even sever an artery
DO NOT DO THIS
don't use clips, just tip it to the side when you get caught

Confirmed for not making it, I bet you also need motivation
>>35457127
Fucking pussy
I roll of shame failures all the time, all of those are easily over 2plate
You must have no core at all
Twig
>>35457161
wtf is your problem? if you want to risk tearing an artery, then fine, but don't tell others to do it
if you're caught under the bar, why would you risk dying when you can just tip it to the side?
also
>I roll of shame all the time
which means you're lifting way above your abilities, you massive faggot
training to failure will not give you more gains than 3x10 or 5x5 of 70-80% of 1rm
training to failure is a curlbro meme
fuck off
>>35457009
serves you right for not using dumbbells like you should

Safety bars m8.
Has anyone ever just rested for a while with your chest partially supporting the weight until you were able to press it back up? Obviously wouldn't work with anything near 1RM but for lower weight I wonder if it's feasible.

Happened 2 workouts ago....leg day. Full gym. Start out with squats. First 2 warm upsets are fine, third set out on heavy weight. At bottom of first rep, I shart. Due to the horror, I could not get out of the hole. I dump the weight, and stand up praying that liquid shit isn't running down my legs. Everyone looking at me due to loud noise. Luckily all seems ok, shit is contained within my briefs. Squeeze my butt cheeks together so shit doesn't seep out and escape shorts, go to unrack bar. Un rack one side completely first, weight of other side causes bar to tilt up and come crashing down...whole gym is looking at me like I'm a retard. Pick up weights and leave. Skip rest of leg day, go to bathroom, wipe up best I can, drive home in shitty shorts
>>35457161
>I roll of shame failures all the time
Are you just trying your best not to make it?
I fell backwards squatting my very first time in the gym
>>35456236
If everyone else is laughing, just laugh it off. Accidents happen, nobody's a god that does everything right.
You people should chill out.

>slowly roll forward under lmao3pl8

Felt fine afterwards but the next day I was in moderate pain and had to stop lifting for a few weeks
Damn that was embarrassing
>>35457681
If only i had one bro. Im in home gym so i have no choice but to dump the weights. Feels shit, but no choice

autism, the year
>>35456376
Or just do a roll of shame which looks infinitely less retarded.
>>35456236
I use fucking clips on every lift every time. If you are worried about getting trapped under the bar this can'tt happen unless you are the only one in the gym
>>35456236
About 2 years ago when I was a dumbass I was doing 3 plate shrugs in the squat rack ( God I was a retard) and I unloaded all the plates off of one side thinking it wouldn't tilt because it never has before with weights up to 250, well it did and almost smashed the mirror and I had to struggle to get the bar pulled out from the other 3 plates weighing it down. It was like King Arthur trying to pull out Excalibur it was such a bitch and I really could have hurt someone. I felt like a total jackass, but hey we all do dumb shit at the gym every once in awhile.
>>35456236
People telling you to use clips are fucking retarded. If you fail a rep you can do what you did to get out from underneath it. Not if you have clips. Clips while benching is a terrible idea.
Learn how to bench properly.
>suddenly forgot to control my movement
>push with one arm harder than with other
This should literally never happen. Especially to the point where a pl8 can slide off.
If you're going to forget what you're doing while you have a loaded bar held above your neck then you're retarded.
>>35457247
Is this by any chance, Athlean-X?
>>35458029
I'm always nervous about this while unracking bar, so are you saying the limit is somewhere near
3pl8?
>>35458159
Just unload each side evenly.
Don't take all the weights off from 1 side.
This should be immediately obvious.

>if you have, say, 2pl8s (100kg), and you roll that bar over your ab area, your organs will get crushed, and you might even sever an artery
source? example of this ever happening?
Can anyone post the gif of the guy doing a deadlift at home with horrible form? He like pulls completely with his back. Haven't seen that one in a long time
>>35456236
i once punched a hole in the floor while taking plates off on one side.... No1 ever found out.
>>35456236
Use it.
>>35457127
>Death from roll of shaming 2 plates
>>35456236
Years ago I squatted without clips, somehow lost my balance, and did basically the same thing. Dropped them off one side, then flippidy do da there goes the rest.
>>35456247
ugh no, no we haven't
the only lifts I've ever failed were bench and squat. Squat is okay with those safety bars other than if you slam it down hard.
Bench scares me though. I did the roll of shame once while some asian girl watched me... bitch
>>35457009
I have literally never been stuck, I've always at least had the energy to get it on the safety stoppers or whatever the fuck you want to call them.
If you really can't lift it you just lower it onto your stomach and roll it off you.
