Cable snap was created by MCJ
Hey guys

I had a cable snap on me today. Was busy doing lat pulldowns when "BAM" the cable snapped mid set. Could have bn ugly. Got few light cuts on shoulder from the shredded cable. Just glad it missed my eyes etc.

So has anyone else broken something? If so, what? And did u get injured because of it?

I have heard of some bigblackMoFo who broke an olympic bar while squatting... And yes it was apparently in the ±300kg range.

To you it may look like I just did a push-up... But in fact, I just bench-pressed the world.

Yeah, there are two gyms in my valley and I don't get along with the larger gym's owner, so signed up at a small gym. On the first day I broke one of the cables on a machine, so was asked not to come back. Thing is that the weight I used was still within the machine's allowed range, so it's not my fault.

I also broke a Trojan leg extension bench in half. I think I had pics of it long ago where I welded the frame back together. I did overload it extensively though.

EDIT: I use a Powertec multi-station now, so I don't think I'm going to break anything pretty soon... those things are solid as hell.
