I lost a fingernail once doing side lat raises. Some dipstick came up beside me to do the same exercise and nailed me with his dumbbell. If my finger hadn't hurt so bad, I would have smacked him. :)

I've popped my left bicep, pulled my pec 2x, had an impingement in my shoulder, several back injuries.

A good friend told me once; "If you're not getting injured than you're not pushing yourself enough."

I don't live by that rule anymore obviously since I think there are much smarter ways to train but when you're young and dumb you'll listen to anyone.

Swollen finger from catching it between a 120 lb dumbell and the frame of the back extension chair as I was setting it down. I was surprised but I didn't really loose the nail, it just grew this weird white ring out from under the cuticle.

Broken finger from banging it into the bar as I was swinging a 100 lb plate off the incline leg press.

Dislocated both shoulders at the same time while doing military presses.
