Today, I was teaching a friend to squat. While I was spotting him, he decided it would be a great idea to turn around. This wouldn't have been a problem, if he hadn't hit me in the face with the bar. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was working out with the guy I like when he spilled his water bottle. I went to clean up the spill, bashed my face into the weight bar, which broke my nose. FML
Today, I was doing squats at the gym. I caught my reflection in the mirror, got distracted by how awkward I looked, and lost my balance. I fell backward onto a medicine ball, rolled into another person’s legs, and took them down with me. We ended up in a sweaty heap. FML
Today, while trying to lift a weight bar at the gym, I ended up cracking my rib cage and almost passed out. My friend, who was supposed to be spotting for me, couldn't help until the last second because he'd snuck off to flirt with a pair of guys halfway across the room. FML
Today, a friend thought it would be funny to shove me over; I face-planted. I was going to say "Fuck you" and "I will kill you." It came out as "I will fuck you." He's still laughing. FML
Today, the lights went out at the gym while I was holding a heavy bar. I tried to put it back on the rack, missed, and dropped it on my toe. Then, as I was limping around in pain, I hit my head on one of the other bars on a rack at head height. FML
Today, I tried to give my friend a fist bump. He thought I was trying to punch him so he punched me in the face. FML
Today, I was at the gym when I saw one of my friends at the water fountain. I went over and gave him a man ass slap while he was drinking. It wasn't my friend. I now have a black eye. FML
Today, I was at the gym with my friends when they invited me to do a few bench presses. Since I'd never done any before, I decided to start with no weights on the bar and work my way up from there. I wound up pinned beneath the bar, calling for my friend to come free me. FML
Today, I was playing tennis with my friend. He hit a ball up high, and I slammed it down, thinking there was no way he would get it. Feeling pretty good about it, I turned around to celebrate. As I turned around, I got smacked in my face. He got it. FML
Today, I was at a bar with my friend, when I noticed a young lad at a table near to us. I thought it'd be funny to jeer and flick peanuts at him. I went to the restroom, only to come back to my friend face-down on the floor. Turns out the guy fucked him up instead, and now he won't talk to me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It's because of situations like this that I make a loud beeping sound each time I make sudden movements. It's not a choice or anything; it's a result of the slight brain damage I sustained when the bar hit me.

You should've squatted ubder the bar. Get that leg day in and avoid getting hit

I forgot to leave out some info on accident. He had been standing up straight and was complaining about uneven weight (it was even) so I was slightly to the side of him. I don't know why he turned around but he did

Unrelated to post, but does anyone else have a problem with Safari and the App Store opening every five ******* seconds while in FML?

It's obnoxious

Indeed, I can hardly use the app.

The links are gone when going back to Safari, so the links can't be given.

When I first started reading this I thought they were talking about squatting to poo

Ummmmmm, if you're spotting him, why would you be in a squat position as well? You can't grab the weight if he's in trouble if you're squatted. For that you got a deserve it.

Where in the FML did it say I was in the squat position? I was shorter than him and he was standing up straight when he turned around.

So… who spots the spotters?

We've had a fair few FMLs lately about the weight lifters being screwed over by the spotters, and now it's the other way around!

what about the rack?? it shouldn't have hit you in the face unless you were squatting on platform which is never a good idea
Michael978 16
I don't know about most racks but our school uses ones where you pick it up and can take a few steps back while keeping the safety bars under you. Usually we don't worry about spotting squatters but he was new at it so our coach insisted.

I guess I accidentally left out the fact he was complaining about the weight being unbalanced so I had been slightly to the side checking the weight. Sorry for leaving that out.
