What near disaster looks like

[49ER]

This happened the other day ive done this plenty times just been recovering from a injury and trying to get back on top to quick. I made a bad mistake and forgot to set the slings i had 518 in the bar luckily my spotters well one guy was just fast in reacting and came to the side. They were able to slow it down enough to not hurt me that bad! You never know shit happens fast my back and hip just gave out quick and i crumbled.

Scary stuff. Also sweet setup there. Never seen kilo plates outside of a meet.

Good thing you had a few spotters, could have been way worse if you had no one..

Fuck ya that would have been bad what pisses me off is i have never forgotten to set safety slings i just wasnt thinking or maybe its the kilo plates when you see 500+ on regular plates it looks heavy as fuck so you dont forget lol

also jealous of the kilo plates. our gym has some but the owner only uses them for meets.

I had a scare like that once about 25 years ago. Took a misstep backing out for a 365lb squat, leg gave out and down I went. Fell backwards and hit my head on the bar after bar hit the floor. Never seen so many stars in my life lol. Got lucky that time.

Gotta be careful with those heavy weights lol.
