In an attempt to lower the squat safety bars in a power rack, I pulled the empty barbell out of the rack and stood it on its end and leaning against the "hook" that you set the bar in to do a squat. As i pushed the safety bar back into the hole in the rack, it jiggled the whole tbing jus enough that the bar fell off the hook and into the mirror in the wall. I told the manager they shouldn't pusg the rack all tbe way against the mirrors.
A buddy told me about this douchebag that would come in and make a scene yelling and just being a dumb ass. In his attempt to show off is massive arm strength he picked up some heavy ass dumb bell. To prove he could do a strict curl, he proceded to back up to something solid so he couldnt lean back. The problem was he backed up to a window. And when grunted and heaved and slung the weight up, like most badasses, he dropped the weight. Not out of his hands mind you, just released tension on his bicep and dropped it. As any good physics student knows, since he couldnt control the weight, it proceeded to pendulum swing behins him and right through the window. He thought he was cool, but was quickly removed and banned from the premises.
