It wasn’t me, but a newbie at my old gym was doing seated behind-the-neck barbell press - everyone heard a yelp and the bar hit the floor, turned out he’d dislocated both of his shoulders. God knows how.
He turned a nasty shade of green, and when the ambulance turned up they had to cut him out of his shirt in the gym and carry him out.
Must have been pretty embarassing for him.[/quote]
OHHHH YEAAAHHHHH!!! YOU THINK THAT’S EMBARRASSING???
Try telling EVERYONE on Testosterone Nation that you’re going to set off the lunk alarm at your local Planet Fitness…Thennnnnn not do it and let the entire interwebz down.

Nice.
I was a total newb years ago (even though I still look like it) and was bench pressing.
Yes, everyone has seen this. I’m the guy it happened to.
Weight wasn’t impressive or even memorable, but I got two, gound out a third, and instead of racking it, I went for the fourth. The bar did not move. Not even a little bit.
So I’m stuck under a bar that was heavy at the time. I laid there for a minute before making up my mind. I let it go to one side so the plate would fall off. Can anyone guess what happend next?
CLANG!
Red faced and completely embarassed, i abandoned the rest of my workout that day.

Last time I did that, I decided I’d let it rest on my chest for 15 seconds and then attempt to blast it up enough to get it to the lower racking point. I figured someone would at least offer to help in time I was resting anyway, but surprisingly, no.
Anyway, 15 seconds came and went and I pushed as hard as I could. I only had to move it 3 or 4 inches to get it to the lower rack. Easy, right? Well, due to muscle imbalances, I managed to get only one side racked. I no longer had the strength to either push the other side enough to rack it or to re-unrack the side that was succesfully racked. So I’m pinned very awkwardly under the bar in a “Now what?!” situation. Had I not been using clips, the weight would’ve simply slid off the unracked side. Never made that mistake again.
I managed to slither out from under the bar on the racked side. As I’m standing up, a trainer is just now walking over to help. Having a sense of humor about the fact that I was wearing a Superman t-shirt, I muttered “I KNEW that lime gatorade tasted funny.”
at first i was thinking “look at those quads” and then I was thinking “wait what funny is about to happen here?” then when you locked it out I kinda forgot it was an embarrassing thing and noticed i was singing to myself “nobody nooooobody!”… then wham-o! and I LOLed
nice lift… up until then arent you glad you were filming that attempt?
