No One Likes an Unexpected Load

  • Misloads occur when the weight on either side isn’t equal because you never mastered how to match shapes and numbers. (Which would also technically make you a “misload.”) This can either lead to a catastrophic accident or make for a hilarious meme. Rip explains the importance of always checking the weight on the bar to make sure it is balanced.

    Shit. I don't need a second person to fuck this up, I'm perfectly capable of fucking it up myself.

    Rip looks like he’s leaned out a bit. Expect to see his “Get RIPped in 90 Days” program available soon.

    I was once sitting on a bench resting between sets and my eyes wandered around the gym. I spotted a guy getting ready to do a squat and noticed he had at least one more 45-plate one one side than the other. I ran over and got his attention just as he was about to unrack. I pointed to his plates and I will never forget the look of horror that appeared in his eyes.

    My ex-wife used to tell me that a lot.

      Nothing better than a surprise load pulling it out of the rack...

    From the title, I thought this would be about spotting the squat from behind the lifter.

    I’ve had this happen four or five times but I am the only person who loads my bar, so…. I learned to double check. Just need to get distracted a little and you forget a 10.

  • @coachjonmichaelmulkeyjiujitsu

    I scoffed at this earlier today. Then damned if i didn't do it squatting this afternoon. Thanks, Rip.

    I personally have three independent case studies that disprove this title.

    It will happen eventually. I workout in my garage, and I remember a time when I squatted 225 x 5 as a warm up set, then after I loaded another plate, I was interrupted by my sweet little daughter coming outside. After that conversation, I went to squat it and thought WHAT THE ****. I had 3 plates on one side and 2 on the other. Thankfully, I was able to set it down without issue. This is why it's so important to do all these movements inside a rack with the safeties set appropriately - because these things happen.

    I triple check all my loads. I was at the meet where they misloaded Ed Coan an extra 70 pounds on the squat and he got pinned. I think it was the next meet where he blew off his patellar tendon. I always felt that misload caused it
