Your most embarrassing gym moment....

[morattigirl]

Ok guys/gals tell us all about those shameless moments you've had in the gym...

The only one I've got so far is pinning myself under the bar but no-one was around to see me (thank god) so it was really only funny to me :grin:

[Peachy]

What an excellent topic idea this is!!!! :clap:

:pfft: :pfft:

Im perfect in every way so I never embarass myself but I will be interested to read what the rest of yous do....

[Rookie]

Ok I'll be honest.... I was bouncing a medicine ball on a bosu ball and catching it, there was a girl running on the treadmill and her junk was moving up and down- bam, the ball hit me in the face and she saw me checking her out.... :? I made it a bit too obvious....

Being stuck under the bar on the incline bench press and then almost taking someone out when lifting it off

[AgentOrange]

Im doing a 'pump' class this saturday. So will edit this post then :pfft:

[BANG]

mine was squatting had a bit of a lapse in consentration stalled on a rep my partner came in to spot and was in the way where i wanted to drop the bar backwards so ended up having 140kg odd kgs rolling 4ward over my neck and making a massive crash on the safety bars on the squat rack. :oops:

[Gym rat]

What a good idea for starting this thread :clap: :clap: I have a couple embarrssing moments at the gym which are

1 My shorts spliting on me

2 My Shaker exploding on me while I was shaking up my shake with creatine in it

3 a cable breaking on me while doing tricep pushdowns

4 Letting off a few protein farts as well when training

[crazyfacials]

when I ripped a fart that sounded a loud and angry crazy horses call, the good thing is that it cleared my area so no one bothered me while working out :twisted:

edit: oh and when I was 14 I decided I'd be the man and bench 40 (or 50 can't remember) like the big boys at my gym...the bar went down on my chest and never got up...I had to push it to the side and sneak out of the gym

How did you spilt your shorts surley not from squats?! :pfft:

[AgentOrange]

maybe it was the farts

[tinytraps]

Ive split my shorts in two then kept training, made hitting depth way easier, happend on a warmup so went the whole workout showing arse

One of the old guys in the gym forget his training gear so trained in his undies! It was pretty awkward since he was squatting, a few people came in that day with the wtf look on their face!

[lightscribe]

I suffer from chronic IBS, so I get alot of anxiety when doing huge numbers on deads an squats. If I was to have an explosion in the gym/my pants, that would totally ruin my reputation.

Hahaha that's awesome!

Right, my turn. I got distracted while on a cross trainer and sort of got tangled in it and looked like quite the retard. A few people saw but I played it cool and just pretended it never happened.

[kaypee]

lol well timed.. had my first real one this morning, nearly beheading myself during my incline bench lol

[LOS]

Went for one too many reps on close grip bench. Managed to roll the bar down to my hips and sit up.

This was years ago, now i have a training partner lol.

[Chillicat]

Can't think of anything, other than the other day when I kinda tripped all over my own feet when I saw the NZ Kiwis league team at the gym (note, I didn't even know who they were at the time - just a large number of sexy beasts all wearing the same clothes). Didn't actually faceplant or anything, caught myself - but I think it was clear to anyone looking at the time that the trip coincided with me spotting all the hot men :pfft:

[baysprop]

Had done a set of weighted dips and got quite a head rush when i put my feet back down and ended up stumbling backwards into some very angry metal head in the middle of a set on some machine.

[Chemo]

Doing an epic set of circuits then going for the water bottle and finding out the top wasnt on...

drenched, had to wipe down some of the equipment as well

[vracula]

Haven't had any embarrassing ones thankfully. :wink: I know it's only a matter of time.But since we are all sharing something funny I might as well.

In retrospective it is by far the most retarded thing I have ever done and was a sure hazard,Ok so I get these nike power bands or woteva where they have these 2 handles with an elastic rope like band in between,picture aerobics kind a equipment,anywhoo I bought so i could stretch my calves while watching Tv....so i caught one handle with one hand and the other handle i put over my foot and I pulled hard to give my foot a good plantar flex while seated on the sofa...yknow how some handles have this rolly thing.....rolled across the bottom of my foot and came towards me at the speed of light and smashed my lower lip ,lip became the size of a lemon and my wife told everyone and they just pointed and laughed all week!

Splitting shorts on squats

Stuck under 140kg (was a warm up weight so didn't think I needed the supports up) and having to fall back with it, making a loud bang and getting alot of attention

Cable on the seated row snapped mid rep, also drawing unwanted attention

[Pseudonym]

When unloading weights off a barbell, it's not a good idea to take them all off one side first. :oops:

[Tonka]

Only happened recently, I got pinned on the bench with 80kg while doing 20rep/per weight giant drop sets. The other gym members who saw me thought I was kidding around...until I yelled I needed help!

Lost balance with 140kg squatting, Falling backwards I ended up on my butt and the bar smashed into the lat pulldown machine that was situated behind the rack...thankfully no one was on the machine.

While doing sumo deadlifts with near max weight, I overextended my lockout causing me to loose balance. In order to avoid being finished off by the weight, I threw the bar forward causing my momentum to fly backwards (and I literally flew)...into the same lat pulldown machine that I had dumped the squat bar on only weeks earlier...once again I was lucky no one was on the machine!

SBW trains at my gym on the odd occasion, he was in one day and I made the mistake of telling the wife who called "pxt or your lying" She got told I wasn't making a dick of myself taking his photo and left it at that.

Half way through my work out I had a brain fade and thought maybe I could sneak a quick pic without him noticing, memo to self, if trying to take a covert pic, turn the f'ing flash of!! :doh:
