Stupid things that you have done at the gym.

Howzit guys

Thought I'd start a thread on stupid things we have done or have happened to us at the gym.
I'm sure some funny stuff will come out here....

I once tried to show my wife how to use a barrbell correctly to excercise her biceps,myself being use to lifting at least 40 + kg's when using barrbells used a 10 kg to show her and lifted it so quickly I hit myself on the moouth causing a nasty cut...my wife thought it was quite amusing...I was f-ing pissed at her and myself....

Hahaha
Can we minus karma for stupidity ?

When I run on the treadmill I have to look straight ahead. If I turn my head I just end up going in that direction.
One day I catch this incredible body in my peripheral, absolutely gorgeous girl, so I turn my head to catch a quick look and the next thing I know I'm running skew into the side of the treadmill, lose my footing and fall forward.
I've never stood up so quickly in my life. Now no matter what I only look straight!

Hey bro....I think I already have a minus 1 for some reason....Hahaha...It wasn't funny on that day but ja laughing about it now...


@Stanabolic

Hahaha....that's a good 1...That will teach u 2 look at woman instead of training...

That darn treadmill... few years back when i still ran on the treadmill (i only walk now on an incline). On some occassions, while on a speedy pace I would end up hitting the emergency stop due to arm swaying and damn, that mofo only stops immediately. Nearly shot right over the railing.

more than onced they have revamped our bathrooms at gym, swapping the men and the woman bathrooms around.... all i can say is make sure you read the notice boards :blush: :oops:

I was doing dumbell pullovers on a bench, this was during pct and i wasn't feeling that great. So when i proceeded to put the dumbell next to me on the bench, i missed the bench and landed on the floor with the dumcbell. I felt like a total doos and half the gym was looking at me. This was the only time in my training career that i didnt put the weight away. I got up, and left gym.

oh here's one... many years ago, the first time i used the sauna, i did not realise wearing a chain would hurt me....yep the chain got so warm it ended up burning my neck and chest. After that i stopped wearing a chain, etc.

Benching by myself, thinking come on buddy, 1 more rep, no spotter.
I could not squeeze out 1 more rep and ended up resting the bar on my chest.
I had to roll the bar all the way down my body to get up. I was bruised from chest to hips for a few days!

@dbatdbn I have done the same thing many years ago when I first started training. I am a little more wise know and will always geta spotter when going heavy lol

Worst thing I ever done happened within my first year of training. At the gym at my university we had 50kg, 20kg and 10kg barbells which were all the same radius but were of different thickness. Anyway, I was at the stage where I could just bench 80kg for a good three reps and, due to there being chicks in the gym at the time, was keen on doing some awesome bench presses while donning my white and overly small wife beater. Anyway, did not realise that there were 50kg as opposed to 20kg barbells on the olympic bar and without thinking I just lifted the darn bar only to feel it imploding on my chest. Luckily i was able to stop the bar from dropping completely on my chest, but i had to call for help for someone to lift the bar so that I could escape a possible crushed thorax.

Probably the scariest and most embarrassing gym moment in my life!!!

I saw something funny yesterday morning at the gym.These 2 chicks were doing crunches with a rope attached to the top pulley of the cable fly machine...The one chick was showing the other how to do the excercise correctly(or so she thaught) but while the one chicks on her knees the others crouching over her on her back/ass.It looked like some weird bunny sexual position with the 2 of them crouching and pulling down on the rope,the one riding the other one....hahaha...if they were hot it might have turned me on but they looked so funny I lost count of my reps and had to stop my excercise to turn away and laugh softly....Another guy at the gym eventually showed them what to do.....

A few years ago when I was still in school, there was this dude who overestimated his strength with benching AND he even had a spotter, but both where noobs. So this guy tries to bench while his spotter stands there looking at him, he lifted the weight and the one arm basically gave in so the weight fell off on the one side, then the barbell rotated to the other side and the weight on the other side also fell off, so the guy fell off the bench with the barbell laying on him while his spotter just stands there looking at him!

When I was still an idiot in the gym I basically ate nothing the whole day, about 19:00 I hit the gym with a pre-workout from SSN before the workout. The gym was full of these hot babes from the varsity (campus gym). So I decided to do a bit of cardio and did those steps (not the machine, it was literally that long two step thing). I went up and down and got dizzy all of a sudden (probably blood sugar levels) and hit my shin moer hard on the edge of one of these steps and fell. Everyone looked at me and I had a huge cut that was bleeding like mad. immediately rushed to the closest pharmacy to ask if stitches were required, luckily they weren't!

DId some warm up millitary presses. Got into a rythm there...u know...up and down up and down...and booyha! I Gave myself an uppercut with the barbell. Almost bit off my own tonque! I had a small cut on my chin and it swole up and i looked like mr chinny chinn chinn or something.

Hahahaha I know the feeling lol :lol:

Similar thing happened to me. Going down for a squat and I hear the RIP. Once I felt that there was no "public Indecency" I simply continued.
In fact I now prefer using those pants for squats!!! They are ripped just the right amount to get a nice deep squat, and I also get a little breeze going through them to cool down the nads! :woohoo:

lol

A while back i took my girlfriend to the gym and was showing her how to do cable crossovers so i handed the one handle to her and then the next handle. As i started backing away she obviously hadnt got hold of the handle properly and it slipped hitting me square in the front teeth. It all happened so fast that i felt my teeth with my tongue and half of one of my front teeth was missing!!! I looked down at the floor and there was half my tooth lying on the floor. Hahaha. She started crying and apologising- i picked my tooth up put it in my pocket and left the gym with my gf apologising frantically. R6000 and a cap later i was ready to get back to the iron. Thought i wld share this with you guys.

EISH

ha ha i think your story takes the cake bruv

@Spunky: I dig this thread! :lol: :lol: Have some karma bud so that you are all square again. +1
