Hi guys,

Please check this sentence. "I was doing side dumbells at the gym today, when suddenly I lost hold of the dumbell. we have to do back and forth movement with 1 dumbell in 1 hand in this exercise so, when dumbell got released of my hand or when it got dropped, it went backwards and broke glass" .

"doing" may be acceptable in common speech but you should try to be more exact.
I was lifting dumbbells at the gym today, when suddenly I lost hold of the dumbbell. We have to do a back and forth movement with a dumbbell in one hand in this exercise so, when the dumbbell fell out of my hand, or when it got dropped, it went backwards and broke some glass"
 
Is "Got released" acceptable?
