SO...was doing some off-rack-deadlifts tonight, just warming up with 315...put the weight back on the rack and BAM!!!!! The peg on the rack fell off! Unfortunately, as the weight fell to the floor on the 'pegless' side, the bar rolled down my left knee and bruised the HELL out of it. WTF!?
Naturally, (and as i know most of us on here would do the same), I finished my deadlifts OFF THE FLOOR, and THEN I told one of the trainers the rack broke. Hopefully, they'll fix it before Jumbo and his girlfriend try to use it for 'inclined push-up claps' in an attempt to lose 'ugly bellyfat.'
Just pisses me off that I can't trust the equipment now. That should be the least of any lifter's concerns when in the act of lifting. It's dangerous.
anyone else have a similar experience?
