Blood in the weight room!!!

[lpicken]

I apoligize because for my spelling because I am really fvcked up on painkillers right now. Sometime ago there was a thread about blood in the weight room and I thought I could illiterate. Anyways, I was working out at this 24 hour gym that has Nautilus equipment. Basically a little hole in the wall that has 24 access. I was on the "Freedom Machine"--you know the machine that lets you do any fvking exercise you want: woodchop, flys, lunges, curls, triceps, etc. The ratio on the machine was 1:4 so 100 lbs was really 25 lbs. Thus, I doubled up the arms on the machine and hooked up two arms onto one tricep extionsion bar. I do one set and all is good. I raise the weight 10 lbs and my reality quickly changes. The arms gives way and quickly crashes into my skull. This is the most pain I have ever felt in my entire life. I cuss and scream like a sailor on m e t h. I run outside to blow off some steam and cool off. I come inside and realize I am bleeding like a school girl who has just got her cherry popped. To make a long story short, after 3 hours in the E.R. I end up with 6 staples in my head and tell the owner I no longer want to be a member of his gym that leases bush league equipment. This has not deterred me one bit from my dedication to the iron, I just need to rearrange my cards a little and explore my options. 200 lbs is 200 lbs. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention I was on a fresh shot test-prop and deca that was just starting to kick in and I was entering "the zone". The "heads" on here know what I am talking about. Thus, I was more pissed off off about the wasted shot than 6 staples in my head. P E A C E !

It wasn't like I hurt myself doing too much deadlift or pulled a muscle. I got hurt because the equipment was "mickey mouse" and no longer care to pay to use it.

You said "..my arms gave way" which means to me that you couldnt hold the weight any longer and dropped it onto yourself.

i read it as 'the arms gave way' meaning part of the machine,i had a weight rack collapse one time as i was replacing plates,funy thing is i still use that gym lol

He said "The arms gave way" which he hooked up to an extension bar. Idk about you but I don't refer to my arms as things that hook onto bars, so I think maybe those "arms" are some kinda mechanical thing that broke.

Exactly. It sounds of sort of complicated but I described the best I could, but it was the arm of the machine and not my arm that gave way. Here is a picture of the P.O.S.
