yea, dropping weight on your feet sucks, had a 45 fall on my foot. My poor lil toe went black instantly, the toe nail fell off about a week later, lol.
i droped a weight on my foot yesterday.
luckily i am the 1st gym i used with palstci weights. so my foot stayed in tact.

I dropped a weight on my chest while incline BPing.
I also fell of the dips and pullups. I also stuck my hand one of the machines and couldn't get it out.
Oh, and yeah I'm stupid.

I dropped a 10 lb weight on my foot from about 4 feet high. It'll get your attention, that's for sure.

Doing skull crushers I've knocked my head a few time. Literally bounced it off once.. Started laughing my ass off too. Got quite a few weird looks that day.
Umm, done the pinched fingers while putting the weight back of course. Rolled a 65 pound db off the bench onto the top of my foot (hobbled that day, but least I didn't have it turn black and a toe fall off :) )
That's about it.

Farted in my friend's face while I was doing deadlifts one time..haha..it was hard to finish the set I was cracking up so bad.

i accidentally dropped one db too early when dismounting from decline benching once and got jerked to one side, and while trying to regain my balance, accidentally backflipped off the side and landed with my legs skewed, one on the weight rack, the other bent over the bench

I mashed my finger between the rack and the DB (a 26k) on friday.
It's still sore as hell and it went a greeny-purple colour on friday.

Well, hmmmm... I have pinched my hand of before of course. Thats not to bad... kinda smarts a little. I have strained my quad while squatting and kept going with my workout.
:scratch: Wonder if I should tell you guys this next one.... you're gonna laugh, but it hurt like hell. I had a 110 lb dbell in each hand to do dbell shrugs. Being light as hell for me to shrug they kinda swing easily. I brought them around front of me to shrug in front instead of on the side. Well, I was wearing boxers that day, so everything was nice and free... not bound up. Somehow the dbells swung in together to meet each other, only something got pinched in between them just enough to draw a little blood. yeah.. THAT hurt like hell. It was kinda scary when I went to take a piss later and a little blood would come out too. I'll be damned if I'm not really fukin careful when I do those now.

Man I pinched the side of my hand a couple of weeks ago and got this huge blood bubble. It looked like something from rotten.com foe real. Hurt like the dickens for a couple of minutes then I popped it with my teeth.

***dropped a 0.5kg weight on his foot once***
Seriously though, I dont mind getting pinched. It seems to wake me up and get the adrenaline flowing or something.
I pinched a loaf once while racking the 8 lb blue dumbells

aren't they purple? Pinching your fingers or anything else with heavy weight hurts like a bitch...like when I first started doing weighted pullups/dips...until I got my form down and ways to move the weight around.. ;)
