Dropped the weight on my toes

[bigguns15]

I was working on widening my deadlift stance. It was my last rep of my warmup and BLAM!! The weight hits my toes It hurt like a son of a gun, and I think I may lose a few toenails. Anyone else ever done this?

The cool thing was that I finished my workout!

I was very impressed that you finished your workout. It's good to know that you have your priorities in check!

Once in 93' I decided to slip in a Sunday workout. I get to the gym and some ass left 405# on the bar. I was stripping it down ( this really pisses me off ) and grabbed 2 - 45# plates at once, the outer plate slipped and fell 5'. Landed on the top of my right foot!!! I was by myself and had to drive to the emergency room. The on duty doc. ( LOOSELY ) told me that I had bruised my foot. Anxious for a second opinion ( since I had a " 1/2" deep ditch " across my foot!!! ) my wife drove me to the nearest decent medical center and I found out that I had actually broken 3 bones in 8 places. I am a lot more careful now!!

i dont think that is priorites..... i did that and lost a toe and had to drop out of a contest....... if its anything like my injury........ you may just need some rest and take a break........ but if their not broken, you probably be ok.

Well, it was only my first warm-up set with 135. I was sure to check them out after it happened. I could still move them, so I waited a few minutes and continued on.

Ive broken bones in my feet before and not realised (not with weights) until they healed up wrong.....and now cause aches everyday.
If you find out....keep weight off it

cool....... i dropped a 45 bar on my toes from about 3.5 feet high, no one was holding it......... bad thing was.... i was standing on a 4 foot long platform....... so the collars did cushion the fall, it just came down straight on my toes..... i still have only half a nail..... its trying to grow back but it looks retarded now......... oh well, i still lift the same.

When people work out with me, they tend to drop weights on themselves.

I have no idea why that happens.
