Glad you didn't get injuredMonday
Very nearly done myself an injury. Arguably by being greedy and going off plan gym wise
Hatfield Squat
bar x 12 very quick reps, 140kg x 8 fast reps, 230kg x 8 reps, 300kg x 1 belt only rep, 380kg (I'd originally planned to do 5-8 reps with this vs my previous 4 reps at 380kg some months ago). I then loaded 470kg/1036lbs. I failed. As in coming up about 3-inches and then back down again and everyone around me(3 buddies) trying to help me. My thumbs needed yanking out of the holes in the power rack and the front of the bench I was sitting on with 1000+lbs on my shoulders (lol) was squashing my 'taint' ha ha (thank f**k not my b*lls).
Once my thumbs were out I could move about and get out from under the bar. I then called it a day. Thankfully no proper issues. There is a video
Monday
