Have you ever hurt yourself in the gym?

I've had too many to remember....but one sticks out...

I dislocated some pec muscle fibers one time while incline bench...pretty nasty....

On my pec, I had this raised up line of muscle fibers...like a piece of straw....I pushed semi-hard and it "snapped" back in....was sore for a few days, but nothing major after that..

Another time I hyperextended a knee on a hack squat by not paying attention to where my knees were...

Heard a pop and later got bursitis in one of my shoulders from flat benching too heavy....(I never max anymore because of this...)

Here lately every time I go I try to hurt my abbs. I never really had great defintion in my abbs. That shits about to change....

Oh I'll start a list lol
Dropped the weight on my neck when I was doing behind the neck presses
Spotter wasn't paying attention so my max fell on my chest
Tried to set a new PR on power cleans by jumping 20 extra pounds (stupid on SO many levels) that I couldnt get it up high enough, so I jerked it into my sternum
Didn't check to see if the attachment was hooked on right, so when I was doing cable curls, the short bar came off the cable an busted me in the mouth

But this was all in one year (my first) and I was clueless on form, techniques of training, ect. In the last 3 years I have only tweaked things here and there.

i just hurt myself outside of the gyhm once again. nothing serious. just alot of soreness in my thumb and the meaty area extending into the palm from a home improvement project.

My hand hurts right now from pushing this mouse across the mouse pad all day.

minor strains here and there...and the unnavoidable "unable to walk normal/crawl up the steps/cant get out of car" after leg day,,which i just experienced the other day because i have not lifted in almost a year

This is so funny....

I was teaching a bootcamp class at my gym. I had them doing suicides. I was running when I stepped on a clear cap from a sports water bottle and landed into a pile of swiss balls. I sprained my ankle badly to the point that the entire bottom of my foot was bruised. As bad as it hurt, I just could not stop laughing while i was thinking "all this from a little bottle cap." If you all knew me you would know this is something very typical of me. I'm so clumsy.
