Ouch!
So, I was giving me son a pointer on his Arnold presses, basically wanted to tell him that when he wears done to abandon all the fancy movements and just go for a few more plain presses. So I had my 18kg dumbells resting on my leg and looking up at him when one of them shifted.... smashed my ring finger tip between its partner.
Now, 18kg weights seem like small when using them on a prime mover, but they pack a lot of punch on a finger tip. I could hardly believe I had done it, and the pain was so sharp that I was not sure if I had actually pinched my finger or not, but we both saw a shot of something fly out of the mash, and it was blood.
Man, it just popped my finger tip open like a cooked sausage. I guess I taught him the importance of managing your weights safely. It swelled nasty by the end of workout and had flesh bubbling out of the tiny hole, but it is going down now and just looks like purple sausage with a hole in it.
Lucky the weights were rubber cased.... raw metal probably would have just crushed the poor little thing.
Note to self..... put the damned weights on the floor before giving attention to others.

The flying blood part got me..
Ouch!!!
Like a hot dog that stayed in the microwave too long? I know the feeling. Got in between the makeup tongs ( about 400 pounds) and the joint of pipe in the mouse hole. Inmovable basicaly the earth. Late one night on the rig. Got my pinky , ring and middle finger. Yeah just the tips. Looked like the ole blown out hot dogs. Dipped in ketchup
jayiskOnce was doing decline dumbbells and smashed my nuts on the set up laying back. Got the set done.
Getting hit in the nuts sometimes has a delay time before you remember the last time you got hit in the balls and now you will be in pain and can't breathe for 5 mins.
Lucky you didn’t hurt your vagina bro
You’re on fire cracking the jokes mate. If I could +2 you I would :—))

I started to lose focus on what you were talking about... no homo
shirlsguyhahaahahah, yeah, better not tell that one at the wife's tea party
Better not tell it to the wife full stop!!
I dropped a 45lb plate straight onto my big toe years ago - never fealt pain like it as I was also bare footed just moving some plates around in the garage for later. The whole nail soon came up black, swelled and then all of a sudden the whole thing came off Lol It was disgusting, hence the nail has never grown back properly since. Always snapping and cracking etc, a war wound together with the deadlift shin scars.
RustyhookerOuch!!!
I thought I was gonna read about how it slipped and smashed the jewels when I saw that it was slipping off your leg. It might hurt but it could be worse. Hope it's not broken bro. Finger and toe injuries never seem to go away.
shirlsguysuddenly the finger seems like the better of harms!
We've all had those types of things happen. Hope it's not broken.
shirlsguyDefo not broken, just smashed the meat right out of the whole. The dumbbell couldn't have moved more than six inches, my son and I both did not even know if I had actually smashed it but for the blood shooting through the air. broken, no..... purple.... boy howdy is it!
