Your most embarrassing gym moment....

[Darwinstef]

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:

ull be staying in traffic mate. :pfft:

Thats a bit harsh :pfft: :pfft: no snake skin here :shock:

Not strictly a gym moment but kinda related.

While working in a client office, using their espresso coffee machine to make a flat white, I thought I'd kill two birds with one stone, so I put the hot flat white into a shaker with protein powder.

:shock:

Hot flat white in plastic shaker with lid on may cause air temp in shaker to rise with a corresponding pressure rise, causing half of the said hot flat white to explode all over you, your desk and laptop, staining your nice business shirt in the process. :shifty: :shifty:

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

I share your pain brother except I will go into a bit of detail

Was doing preacher curls with my training partner finished the set and went to unload the bar turns out I was a bit quicker with the plates than he was ended up almost taking out a wee asain dude doing concentration curls with the bar havent seen the wee fella since

^The first, loudest and most catastrophic mistake I ever made.

[Gym rat]

Been there as well that has happend to me once as well and when did happen when I was unloding the bar after doing squats.I thought note to self take plats off one at time for each side.

Aaages ago (would've been 14ish) I was doing gayble curls and the carabiner either wasn't clipped onto the bar right, or was faulty... because a few reps in as I was curling the weight up, the bar I was using disconnected from the cable, flew up and smashed me in the nose. Blood everywhere! Thankfully it wasn't very busy, and I didn't make too much noise, but fark me that was embarrassing.... and painful! :oops:

Still, to this day I double check the connection whenever I do gayble exercises... so I guess I learnt my lesson :shifty:

[gizzykid]

Haven't had anything too embarrassing happen to me fortunately but a mate of mine had a pretty good one.

He tripped on his foot (don't ask me how) while doing a quick warm up on the treadmill and went full face first into the mat.

The gym was packed and it caused a hell of of a stir. Particularly cos I was beside him just pissing myself. Just about ate it myself cos I was laughing so hard.

[fudoc5]

oh man,saw some skinny boxer dude do this so i decided to try it out :pfft: . hanging upside down crunches (w/ the leg strap thingy that clings on to the pull up bar). did a couple sets then couldnt pull myself up to unhook my legs b/c my abs were f#$ked. so i just hung upside down for like 5-7mins pretending while resting before swinging myself up....f#$k im never doin that again

[Ryno33]

fudoc I lol'd in rl.

My gym is quite compact and you cant really work around with having to move for a piece of metal sticking out of no where so Ive jabbed myself or hit my head a few times. Can make me look like a doongy sometimes.

:pfft: :pfft:

This happened to me yesterday after my last set of squats. Took all the plates of one side first and then as i turned away to put the plates on to the rack,

a Big Bang with barbell and the plates falling.

Everyone looking at me, I just said sorry and slowly put all the plates away and continue with my training

I've had too many to remember...

* Blown way too many pairs of shorts out squatting.... as a visitor for the first time I had to train at Gillies in a pair of shorts that left nothing to the imagination.

* Snapped a wrist strap doing shrugs in a gym I was visiting in Rotorua, lost 5 plates off one side, then catapulted the bar....

* Pretty sure I shat myself getting buried on a squat.... wasn't really embarassing as I announced it proudly to the boys, then went on to finish training..... all class! :pfft:

* Was talking about Danomyte & Stas at the Commonwealths so decided I should piss take a Snatch with 40kg, was laughing so hard I fell over and the bar fell forward onto my shin, which proceeded to bleed & swell up like an egg. Maddog was in hysterics.

* Breaking stuff is always embarassing, particularly when you're trying not to get kicked out of a gym.... dumbells, stretching sticks, plates - done them all, never made a bench fall apart tho...

[Sarge]

when im overly fatigued at the end of a mean workout and failing on pissy little weights.

thats bowt it for me...

Shouldn't have read whilst eating lunch

[nate225]

LOL - it is what it is Drizzt!

Sometimes you eat the bar and sometimes... well, he eats you!

I guess I'd rather crap or truck myself than blow an intestine through my ab wall (again!) or groin. Shitty draws are easily changed, but hernias require surgery! :pfft: :grin: Intra abdominal pressures a bitch huh? LOL

[nate225]

Probably the funniest thing I've ever done in the gym was when big Nickoli, Stevie Mega & I were training abs. We were doing some floor stuff (dead ants etc) and I sat on a swissball between sets..... and it freggin exploded! :nod: A piece of rubber about half the size of an A4 paper blew out the side, and it made a decent noise too.

I was on the ground wondering wtf had just happening & the boys were lauging their asses off. Needed to say I was named the fat little f*ck for a few weeks following. :grin:

My mate was in the sauna with just a towel on when he realised he had lost his locker key............

[BANG]

at the pools gym years ago i was running on a treadmill at speed 12.hopped off for a rest or talk or something but was distracted when i turned back the screen said speed 1.2 so went to walk on it and got thrown into the plexiglass window right behind the mill sandwhiched between them while the treadmill belt was eating away at my tricep at speed 12.Took ages to get rid of that scar.friggin hillarious when i remember it tho!

The one and only time I clowned it was finishing back day. Using the lat pull down machine had just done 3 sets prior from 3 plates, then 2 plates from full stack. Anyways, usually by this stage Im yanking the bar so hard to get started just so I can get to the floor(I sit on the floor and hook my knees under the seat to get a full stretch at the top). So Im on the last set and pin the full stack but the weight of the lat bar pulls the cable down slightly so the pin catches nothing. I do my yank in full sitting position to gently touch the ground and butt planted my 124 kg full force, on the ground f*ck IT HURT!!!!The girl behind me on another machine must have giggled under her hand for about 5 mins before asking me if I was ok :oops: :oops:

Years ago guy at Physique 2000 (now Aspyre) snapped the LPD cable doing behind the neck pulldowns......... you guessed it, he got KTFO & created a decent pool of claret on the lino! Ouch!
