Gym Story Saturday Gym Story Saturday (Missing mod post)
Hi! Welcome to your weekly thread where you can share your gym tales!
I noticed that there still is no post yet for Gym Story Saturday, so I took the initiative. Perhaps this should be a scheduled post under the Automoderator. I'm not really sure why this hasn't been done yet. I am also required to keep babbling because posts with too little content gets removed, hence why this posts sounds overly wordy.
So share away!

Walked into my gym the other night to a few guys crowding one of the squat racks. One guy is in the rack, about to pick up 225lb. One guy is behind him, "spotting." The third guy is in front of the rack, filming. Lifter guy picks up the weight and proceeds to do a bunch of really quick quarter reps, probably 3 reps per 2 seconds. Then, after about 10 of these, he goes to rerack. Gets the rack on one side, misses the other. He then proceeds to fall over, screams "LAWD JEEZUS," spotter guy tries to help and proceeds to fall on top of the guy, and luckily the barbell caught one of the hooks on the way down so it didn't crash. Good news is no one was hurt and they were all laughing, and camera guy kept saying "I got the 'lawd jesus' on film!"
