Yet a small measure of success that the safety bars caught the big dump today. I was semi pinned under a huge pile and had to weasel out from under it.  First time I have been seriously stapled to the bench.  Was going for max and got it done till last rep which came down like a load of bricks.  No damage done. When I was stuck under it though I thought that without those bars I would likely be dead as I live alone..  

I guess this means I should lift more so I am not so weak..

I agree it happens...I have been pinned under 405 with only my 130lb wife to get me out.

If you don't get pinned on the rare occasion, you're not lifting heavy enough... :)

Very true, but this is the reason we lift in the rack.

I once had to roll the bar off me.  I felt like a pizza dough under a rolling pin.



I was young, probably not 20 yet, and it was probably about 75 or 100 pounds.  Nothing serious.

Heh heh. Gotten stapled a few times doing incline bench. Have to shamefully call out "Hey bro, can you spot me?" and hope that someone can stop laughing long enough to unstaple me

I got pinned in a leg press machine. I had opened the gym at 5:30 was working in the leg room alone one other guy in the place lucky I was able to scream and he heard me another few minutes with my legs pinned to my chest I would not have been breathing. Moral of the story... Don't lift alone.
