I have a quick goof up story of one of my own blunders in the gym back in the early years.

Growing up, the only access to weights and weight training I had was at my high school. It was a DUMP. Literally, if I left the weight room without being so dirty that I looked like I had been working on a broken down car, I felt as if I didn’t get a good work out. Everything was rusty, old, and broken down. But it was home.

Even in college, I’d look to the bare bones facilities for my workouts.. not sure why, but I just felt comfortable working out and getting dirty.

Well, fast forward 2000, I began working at an upscale Gym in Baton Rouge. The equipment was nice, the people were nice, everything about the place was nice. So as you can imagine, finishing up a workout and still having the clothes I was wearing clean was something new to me. It just felt odd.

So, anyway, as I was getting used to working out on all the new equipment, I was at the cable cross over machine working my triceps. You know the contraptions, it has a weight stack with a cable running vertical & wrapping around a pulley, etc.

Well, I had a fairly heavy tricep bar attached to the end of the cable, when I reached down to pull the pin & adjust the weight stack, a few of the plates (5-10 lbs) started slowly rising on their own. Bent over and Baffled, I just stared at it slowly rising for about 5 seconds… then…

BAM!

Something smashed me on the top of my head. After jumping to the side as fast as I could to figure out whether or not I had just gotten pummeled by a bodybuilder that wanted my machine, I realized….

The tricep bar that was attached to the end of the cable weighed about 15 pounds. Since it was on a pulley against only 10 pounds after I pulled the pin, the bar began to fall…

And walloped me upside the head.

Needless to say, I felt like an idiot. Luckily there weren’t many people at the gym that day, but a cute little girl was over in the corner looking at me giggling…

She had seen the whole thing..

Just wonderful.

If you have a similar story, feel free to post them in the comments section below. I’d love to hear about them.

’til next time, Train Hard & Live Easy!
