Obligatory this did not happen today, this happened yesterday. I (25M) was at the gym just doing my routine workout.
The gym had been renovated recently and we had some new squat racks, which I was excited about. (The squat racks used to be very busy so it was nice to have empty ones for a change). One thing to note about the new plates was that they were very smooth to rack and re-rack, which I’m not used because the older plates did take a lot of effort. I didn’t know this and I tried pulling out a 45lb weight plate out of the rack and it slipped and fell on my right foot.
It didn’t hurt initially but by the time I got home, it got pretty swollen and overnight it had turned black. I went to the clinic this morning and after a couple of X-rays it turns out that I have fractured my toe.
Now I have to wear a cast for the next 3-4 weeks and I obviously cannot work out during that time, which really sucks because I was getting into my routine and not missing any days. I also cannot drive during this time and I have to limp when I walk, so there’s that.
TLDR; Tried out the new squat rack at the gym, didn’t anticipate how smooth the weight plates would be, ended up dropping one on my foot and fractured my toe.
