+ 1 most painful gym injury

ad

So we were talking about dropping weight on toes in another thread so I though I'd post this. What is the most painful injury that has happened to you in the gym? serious injury or just hurting yourself.

The worst pain I have ever felt in the gym was when I was burning out on a curl or something when I put the dumbbell down I smashes the tip of my ring finger between the grip on the dumbbell and the support bar under the bench. I have never felt such a hot shooting pain. I yell the threw the dumbbell about 10ft instantly. Then had a black nail for 3 months.

When I approached a girl who she shot me down then posted it on tictoc... oh, and the time I dropped a 45lb plate on my toe unloading the smith machine.

Did the tiktok thing really happen?

Greg's picture

Son, during my courtin' years the only thing tikin' was a clock.

Milfpounder's picture

Hahahaha fuck was hoping it was legit.

You're a sick puppy.

I'm gonna talk about you to Kristi Noem the next time we're riding the line together.

You should beat up her husband in front of her, Literally claim her as your property and then immediately show her the pile of dirty dishes she needs to tend to.

"Been saving these for you, baby doll".

Greg's picture

You just doxed yourself. I've seen you up on the ridge reconnoitering my line—did her husband put you up to this?

Milfpounder's picture

Hang on please. Let me grab my dictionary.

Oh I get it now. No he didn't. I just have been up there high on PCP punching trees n such.

Let me know if you catch wind of my dog.

THIS IS GONNA BE A FUNNY RESURRECTED POST!!!!

My most painful moment in training wasn't actually from an injury, was just from doing the movement for the first time. I decided to try out home improvised T Bar rows with a cable V Bar handle round the end of a Barbell. I noticed towards the end of the first set my stomach go tight, then I put the weight down and stood up properly and got the most painful, intense abdominal cramps ever!!!! Never had these before now, whole stomach locked up and I could barely breathe because I couldn't move my abs - it was scary as fuck as I didn't know what was happening!! LOL Horrible experience for 5 to 10 minutes afterwards.

Only last week I was also using the 45 degree Glute extension station and had done several sets using a plate against my chest - decided to then just go for a Bodyweight only burn out set as the finale and man the Fuckin Back Pumps were Horrible - had to leave the gym they were so bad but I could neither sit in my car OR stand in the car park without the crippling pain. Apparently this happens in the lower back area because with normal muscle when the blood flow increases and sits in it, the muscle is able to expand and swell like a Bicep or chest does, but with the lower back it cannot enlarge so the blood creates huge pressure and presses against all the lower back nerves resulting in the crippling, nauseating pain for 10 minutes lol Apparently the way to get rid of the blood pooling is either to sit on the floor and lean forward extending your arms or do a dead hang from a pull up bar and it will all drain out!!

Dropped a 25 plate on my toe and I was helping force reps on preacher curl machine and they jammed my finger in while curling

Tore my right pec off the bone doing 225 on a decline bench press felt like a a thick rubber band slowly getting slit then complete snap ! Whole arm turned purple I thought I tore my bicep from all the swelling and pain but eventually it healed I had to train Lower body and the opposite side of my body for 4 -5 months before I could do any type of resistance on the injured side I also ran bpc 157 the whole recovery time and it still took a long time to get to normal fast forward to a year and half later I’m back to all normal movements and full range of motion I just have a weird indention where the muscle used to connect

i was doing decline dumbell presses with 35 in each hand and as i sat up there was a steel bar in the middle of the front of the bench and the 70 lbs pulled me forward with such force and my you know what smashed into the steel bar....the weights went crashing to the floor and i was in so much pain i could barely walk...i managed to get to the front of the gym to ask for ice and when they asked what happened they were like ooooh eeewww oooooo...i proceed to sit in a chair with an ice pack between my legs.....i was mortified

A torn sternum (your inner chest) has to be the most painful injury I've ever experienced. Never doing deep weighted dips with my elbows flared again. That shit was intense.

Injured it 2+ years ago. Can't do a single dip to this day without the pain returning. It's too bad too cuz I was a dipping stud.

Should not have mad this thread, a 25lbs plat tipped over and landed on my big toe today, then I flung my phone onto the same big toe about an hour later, now I'm feeling it

my last one always seems to be the worst. That is until the next one lol.

Kid on the boat with me was sitting on a milk crate doing overhead tris with a dumbbell. At full extension the nut flew off and two plates followed shortly there after. I don't think this accident could ever be duplicated. The ten pound plate landed squarely on his sack and he dropped the rest of the dumbbell on the back of his head. He begged me to survey the damage but since I'm not a medical professional, I saw no reason to subject myself to that view. Two days later he had surgery and I haven't seen him since. Call it a stupid tax if you like, I call it Darwinism in action.

This isnt really physical pain but more like just emotional pain. I was doing squats next to this hot chick that i was talking to and on one of my reps when i bent down to the floor i accidentally squeezed a fart out and it was pretty loud. She gave me the omg face and walked away. I put the bar down and tried to play it off like it came from my shoe or something but she wasnt buying it. I swear i had never been that embarrassed in my entire life. lol

It seems like the perfect way to keep a man focused on his workout--once he recovers. Thanks for the idea

Bwaaaaahhaaa It's Cleyon's lady. Lol.
Now maybe Cleyon will quit trying to get me to send naked pics of myself to him.

MOST PAINFUL GYM INJURY:

When I had my heart broken after being rejected by the desk girl.....it hurt worse than the broken arm I got from Grrrl for asking in the first place.

DiabloStrong's picture

HAHHAHA that's great. I'm always incredibly offended and feel ultra rejected when the cute girl takes the treadmill 2 away from me rather than right next to me. WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?!?!

ac89's picture

You and me both, sometime gotta go to the one in front of her and hold my back shoulder and calfs in a constant flex

ac89's picture

That to but gotta show off all the hours and hard work we are putting in the gym

This wasn't extremely painful, but could have been. I was doing tri's and took an incline bench and placed it back side towards the cable pulley. I started doing overhead tricep extensions with a straight bar. Well I dislocated my right index finger playing ball the week before and I still couldn't bend it enough to grasp over the straight bar. So I was going pretty heavy and pulled up the weight, 1st and 2nd rep went fine, went up for the 3rd rep and the bar rolled forward and off my right palm. Smacked me right in the forehead hairline and glanced the bridge of my nose. I didn't even want to look at myself in the mirror. I thought for sure my nose would be plastered to the size of my face! Luckily not!
