Bailing out on squats in a rack

[Hrothgar]

I would not recommend dumping the weight forward you can herniate a disk by doing that. I have safeties so I just sit down if I fail a set, if you don't have safeties then watch some videos on the proper way to bail the weight off your back and hope nobody is stupid enough to be standing right behind you.

No one wants to dump it forward (or back) but you do what you have to do when the time comes. You can't always plan it out. Sometimes it just sneaks up on ya!

Dumping is no fun.I had it slip off my back twice.Once with a spotter and once in my basement.
