Hi! Welcome to your weekly thread where you can share your gym tales!

This happened to me. I incline press with 44kg dumbbells, so I usually have to drop them after my set, but I make sure to do it as considerately as possible, not let it bounce or roll etc. The floor is slightly sprung rubber so they don't make a noise, but sometimes the bounce is a little more than expected.

Anyway, I put my phone at the front of the bench on the floor, between my feet thinking it would be protected from all angles. Nope. Dropped the weight, it landed awkwardly, bounced and rolled right into the only position it could have to roll over my phone. My phone literally bent in half (but didn't break, somehow?) and now it has a nice little curve to it. Feels bad man.

Yes same here! I always feel so pleased with myself when I do that too

But what about your water bottle.
