Things Not to Do While Lifting Weights

I dyed my hair Sunday, and I was going to just have to sit there for a couple of hours, so I had the bright idea to lift weights with bunch of henna paste and a towel on my head! (I have a lot of hair.)

That worked...better than it had any right to. But it wasn't actually good! And I think part of the reason I bombed the finisher at the end was the unbalanced weight on my head.

Anyway, what's the silliest/stupidest thing you've done during a workout?

Not even close. I'd only just started strength training at the time, so I just sat there going "*yank* ..... *yank* .... Okay, what the heck? *lifts self off bench and dangles pathetically* Whaaaa?" I think I even tried bracing my legs under the bench and still lifted myself off it before I thought that maybe I should actually look at the settings. :D
