LOL … I thought it was in draft and decided it might be in poor taste but realized I already posted it so tried to delete
I guess this leaves a trail though…
oh well I guess it’s not too bad but just very very silly

I’ll have to find a way to expand that – maybe better on mobile. 
Been there! Sometimes the stories we tell in person hit better than when written online.

That’s such a power move. Posting the mishaps for all to enjoy shows total confidence. 
265 rack split jerk to the chin
had a knurl-pattern scab for two weeks
worst part is during the jerk youre already trying to throw the weight and get yourself down, so it looked like some invisible van damme annihilated me mid press

I had a migraine start on the way home one time. I was able to pull into the driveway and get the car in park before puking all over the steering wheel.

Not sure if this counts here but randomly remembered the other day.
My dad wasn’t really into lifting but we had a few random pieces of exercise equipment in the house- I think he would make a New Year’s resolution to lose weight buy whatever was on sale then lose interest after a few weeks.
I have a sister about 6 years younger, when I was about 12 she had a friend over and she said the friend’s older sister (who was about my age) would coming over to pick her up later.
Naturally, I timed my once a year workout to coincide with the girl’s older sister coming by the house.
“Oh, didn’t hear you come in…” I said in my best Barry White voice while putting down a set of 10 pound dumbbells.
“What’s that thing?” she asked - pointing to this odd contraption we had that looked like a hand gripper but you closed it with both hands and it was supposed to work your chest/arms (I think it’s called a “bullhorn”)
It looked like a much crappier version of this thing:
I decided to demonstrate how to use it, then completed the slowest 1-REP-MAX in history. My puny 12 year old arms could not hold it shut then the device flipped up and gave me a bloody lip.
I was 1 rep away from romance guys…

Uh, Ya, similar story. Working out at a Family Fitness in Mission Viejo and went into what I thought was the male locker room on the right side. Walked through the partition and saw 2 nude women at the end of the room, probably 40-50 feet away. Instantly turned around and walked out. SO Embarrassed!. No one saw me. 35 years later and I am still embarrassed.
