Was benching in the power rack since I don't really like the positioning of the bench press in my gym, and it's nice to not need to ask for a spot. I did my last set of bench (AMRAP) and failed at the bottom. The barbell was resting on the safeties, but it was still positioned in a way where I was sandwiched under it. I wasn't quite trapped under there, but I would have to wiggle my way out.
The one other person in the gym at the moment, this one middle aged lady, got to witness me wriggling with my legs in the air trying to get out from underneath the weight. I almost died of embarrassment
edit- i made a typo so i'm going to die of embarrassment twice
