It was shoulder day and I had just finished warming up while I was waiting for this little short arab guy to get off the military press bench so I could start my workout. I do a quick set with just the bar and two warm-up sets with a 25 on each side. I then proceed to complete my first working set with 135 and when I go to rack it my right arm was above the support of the rack (because the short guy lifted the seat way up) and the barbell started dropping behind the entire freaking bench and I just let go because I know it's either move my arm or get it broken/dislocated. Once I let go I jump up and hear the loudest crash ever as the entire barbell and weights fall 7 feet to the ground. The barbell then flips over the bench and lands 6 inches from my leg almost hitting me in the back of the head on the way down. EVERY ****ING BODY is looking at me and the gym is packed. Luckily this guy doing incline bench next to me helps me get **** straight and I go on about my workout...just figured i'd share my moment of stupidity.
Note to fellow lifters: alway check for seat height before lifting.
