    117.5kg * fuck. I managed to turn my head so I didn't lose any teeth..but it did smash my jaw. Six hours in A&E with too many xrays to count. Soft food for a while. It was like one of those YouTube horror shows.
    Hardcore baby!! Ah you'll laugh about it later. Good luck with the healing for now.

        Honestly I don't know. I unrancked and then the weight was plummeting towards my face. The rest is blank. I got very lucky

            Scary man. Well look - could have been worse. Rest up, heal and you'll be back to it in no time.

              Fuck. That's scary.
              Horrible to have no idea what happened, after hitting 115kg you'd never expect a sudden fail.

              Heal up fast mate.

                So, i spoke to my spotter and we've figured it out. On the 115kg i unracked, stabilised the wiehgt over my chect and pressed. No problem, felt strong. On the 117.5kg, i unracked and stabilised the weight over my head. When i began to bring the weight down i couldnt control it. Silly mistake.

                Xray results came back with no jaw break, just a huge amount of swelling on my TMJ and below my ear. When the swelling goes down, i'll be able to open/close my jaw as normal...and eat solid food again Soups and ibuprofen for now.

                I really want to train tonight. GF wants me to wait a week, or until i look a little less lumpy faced.

                    Fair play for facing it right down and benching again.

                      Makes sense as it fell towards your jaw and not your chest. At least you know exactly what happened, and can put it behind you.

                      That was the hardest set you'll have to do imo.
