Most embarrassing thing you ever did at the gym?

Gregory_Horton

On a heavy leg day, I let out the loudest fart doing deadlifts right next to a lady doing some stretching exercises. Another time I vomited doing heavy squats...too much preworkout I think.

Where do I even begin? lol

Better out than in, eh?
I wasn't watching and I tripped over a piece of gym equipment, caught myself. hey it happens. If you're not going to look like a goofball every now and then, how you ever going to have any fun in life?

Oh daaang! Maybe no one heard you let one rip. My most embarrassing moment was falling off the Stair Master. My foot got sucked down an escalator when I was little and it took a ton of guts for me to get on it...finally after a few sessions I got enough confidence to NOT stare at my feet as I took steps and wham. Not only did I fall off, but the stairs clamped on my shoe and ripped the whole front rubber thing off of my sneaker too -_-

Oh, she did more than hear me lol. I blame the protein of course

Nothing too bad... yet! I was ducking under the bar to do squats and not paying attention and banged the hell out of my head on the bar..

No one helped, I would have ran right over. I got a bar stuck on my chest before but I was lifting alone had to drop weights off one side then the other side.

Embarrassing or sad... you decide.
I was never comfortable in the gym, so sometimes I'd walk in and if there was a good amount of young fit dudes there, I'd walk out to avoid the embarrassment of working out besides them.

I peed during deadlifts during competition...someone else had to clean the platform. I guess that's embarrassing, but I won "best female lifter," so I didn't care.

Didn't happen to me...but I've seen 2 people fall on treadmills. That's super embarrassing; neither was hurt, so I averted my eyes quickly.

Almost fell off the treadmill because I tried to grab my phone that fell on it.
Farted on the treadmill, might not have been as silent as I thought (I was wearing earbuds).

I've had "lifters leak" a few times. Had to add a bunch of fiber to my diet - it helped. Not really embarrassing, since nobody noticed and it was fully contained by my cheeks. Cleaned up in the bathroom - but they were close calls. Told my wife about it and she was mortified. I've got her lifting heavy now and she's all paranoid thinking that it's a normal thing to have happen. lol

My Mariachi band played Eye of the Tiger in the wrong key...super embarassing

I dropped a dumbbell onto my gallon jug and it exploded everywhere. Peak hours too at 5pm. FML

Keeping this story in my head for when I need a mood boost. Thank you.

Too much weight squatting. Did three reps and my knee gave on the last one and I flipped over the rail of the squatting rack. Put me out for 6 months and now I don’t squat anymore! Lol

I have fallen off the treadmill. My towel fell down and I thought I should move out of the way not to step on it. I took a ride off the end of it. And then people came over because they thought I got hurt. Only my pride got hurt.

I accidentally kicked my water bottle over at Yoga. It opened up and spilled water everywhere and I swore. Ooops.

In fairness, this would be less of a likelihood if the fixed safety bars weren't so F*ing high that us shorties have to step out of the rack to squat. At some point, I'm pretty sure this is going to be me.

I was doing front barbell shrugs and the friction got me..welll....'excited'. So I spent the next 15 minutes doing the old tuckeroo and staring at the wall. Needless to say I no longer do front shrugs,

After watching woman after woman pee during deadlifts while watching the Raw Nationals a few months ago, this is no longer embarrassing, just a fact of life. So far, I haven't had a "gusher", just a little drip or two,

Ive fallen on my butt doing all kinds of squats, mostly squat snatches. Im usually in the floor laughing. I use rubber bumper plates, so they bounce instead of making a bunch of noise. Things happen
