Embarrasing gym stories?

[Phantomb]

Today was one for the photo album.

1st rep of 120kg squat, a personal best!.........if I hadn't split my pants wide open at the bottom :shock:

That was the end of that workout :oops: :roll:

[AgentOrange]

hahahaha brilliant.

hmmm as for me nothing major realised i had been wearing my shirt around the wrong way once felt abit stupid as i walked out of the gym.

[Pseudonym]

Heh! I'm sure my training partner can sympathise. A while back he was going heavy and deep on his squat, and sure enough.... rrrrRRRRRRIIPP!

He was fortunate it was only his boxers. I don't think he's worn boxers on leg day since. :grin:

I have got through an entire workout with my t shirt on back to front and inside out, no one said anything to me, only found out when I got home !

I'm fairly shameless, about the only embaressing thing I remember was back when I was a noob I was using the bench and tried to do one more rep (Third lol) with only 62.5kgs on the barbell and failed. A guy who I train with sometimes now came and pulled it off me, that was a few years ago now though. I did learn when to stop though so it wasn't a wasted experience.

I have many! I will just tell one for now. Some years back, I was training with a pro IFBB female bodybuilder in my gym. We take turns at the same equipments, barbells, etc and motivate each other. I have never done a back workout with her because I have seen her pile loads of iron on her back workouts (she is also a powerlifter). When she asked me why I never joined her on her back workouts, I usually blatantly lie and say I am busy with paperwork up front. Long and short of it, we ended up working out together and we started on lat pull downs. She went first and did 8 reps smoothly. My turn..I was hanging like a trussed up chicken. The lady was kind and gracious enough (after laughing for about 2 mins..one of which was loud laughter) to help with my reps. That lady was tough!

A while ago, I went to go do some squats, wearing some pants that were a little too long. When I stepped back from the rack to start, I didn't realise that I had stepped on the bottom back of my pants, and so mooned the whole gym on the first rep

many years ago (1990) in the Auckland Grammar weightroom a boy by the name of Bush took all the weights off one side of the bar sitting on the squat rack. The bar proceeded to tip up, spin around, and smack another boy in the back of the head, knocking him out and cutting his head open.

It's a generational thing. It certainly happened when I was there too. Someone will always carry on with the tradition. I used to have a theory on this, that as your class letter goes up the common sense decreases. You'd think those "A" boys would apply the physics they've just learned.

Its actually evolutionary... you lot should consider yourself lucky... you made the cut :grin:

Embarassing moment not for me, but for a rugby player at one of the first gyms I started.. he was doing i think high rep squats with about 120 kg.. he really strained the last rep and farted..... the fart was sooo loud, and powerful sounding, I am certain it helped him get out of the sticking point.

Ive contemplated baked beans as a pre powerlifting contest meal since

I seem to have a knack for being around others when embarassing things happen... An overzealous busty blonde female (looked like a 1st year student) at uni, had an unfortunate incident when power stepping up onto a fairly high elevation platform used in the aerobic classes.

I call it boob slip.

Lucky it didn't hit her in the face and knock her out.

Since that day her attire has changed.

Nothing like a decent sports bra eh ?

There's a few of them "overzealous busty blonde females" at Les Mills too.. unfortunately nothing like that has happened yet :pfft:

This guy was doing rows with a short straight bar today, was his last set and went a bit too heavy :pfft: anyway his grip slipped while reeling it in.. all you heard was a BIG BANG turn around and there he was lying on the ground behind the bench :pfft: :pfft: :pfft:

[samoan_muscle]

Probably for me...jumping straight off the leg press after a set of 15 reps on 600kg and fainting which resulted in my head hitting the side of the squat rack....LOL

[mr yoyo]

think most of us will have done the excess protein release on the leg press.

Guy at work started at the gym, jumped on the treadmill and started nice any slow , until an attractive young lady started running next to him....speed goes up...focus goes down....end result is a slip and a rather uncermonius dumping off the back of the treadmill into the wall.

I sympathise on the faint to, a guy named Joe Ulberg used to train me, and I remember not walking properly and dizzyness being a regular thing

[1day]

i was training with my gym buddy 1 nite and he had baggy old worn pair of jeans on with rip above his knee (amoung others)

as he got into position for his first deadlift his knee poped out the hole in jeans and as he was unaware of this he proceeded to lift .

so as u guessed his knee pulling down on jeans caused a smaller tear on his asss to rip right across.

so needless to say he droped bar imediatly and left the gym.

ahahahaaha

and of course droping a 140kg loaded bar in a packed gym ,how many people do u think turned around to witness it

[dr-pain]

Loading up 120kg on the bench a few years ago - as I was pushing it off the bench brackets, the center part of the bar twist backwards tweaking my thumbs.

The final tally - right thumb strain - out of action x 2 wks. Left thumb broken - out of action for 8 wks.

I'll never use a bar on the bench again that hasn't been sufficiently tightened at each end.

I didn't witness this, but my training partner told me this happened a few years ago to a training partner of his:

Three guys were doing chin-ups: one of the guys insisted on having his wrist straps secured tightly to the bar so he couldn't slip off once his grip started to go. So the other two secured him to the bar, then pulled his pants down and walked off, leaving the poor guy just "hanging" there.

They eventually let him down, but not before everyone else in the gym had taken a good look at the poor guy in all this glory! :pfft:

Spotted just last night...

Two machines, both alike in structure, in fair Club Physical where we lay our scene. A pec deck, and a reverse fly machine, standing togther. A beast with two backs, if you will...

Our hero sits on the reverse fly machine, and tries a few reps. It's too heavy for him, so he dismounts and examines the pec deck carefully. The pin is already near the top of the stack, but he moves it up another notch, then returns to the reverse fly machine for another attempt. Strangely enough, the weight is no lighter. The pin can't go much higher, so he wanders off, shaking his head. Everyone has their weak days, after all. :grin:

Making sure you eat right during the day will stop this happening to you Pseudo. :grin:

Tonight: Doing cable pec flyes on the cable machine and the whole thing toppling over during the second set and smashing the mirror in front of me, and everyone prompty stopping what they were doing and staring.
