Most Embarrassing Gym Moments

in for the :laugh:

I have a home gym so it doesn't get to bad in there unless my son is correcting my squat form ...while he squats on his toes:noway: :noway:

Really, dropping weights is it? You shoudl have put your arms up like you just stuck the landing, yelled out THANK YOU!

I fart all the time, especially on the jogging track. Usually right when I pass somebody.

Oh wait, you said embarrasing. Ummm.....

So, this morning I was getting ready to use the standing bicep curl rack. I picked up the bar and started to get into position. The bar titled and the weights fell off one side onto the floor, causing the bar to tip the other way and the other weights fell off the other way. Everyone saw my face turn bright red. I wanted to crawl into my locker and hide.

Did I mention that this happened right in front of one of the hottest girls in the weight room? DOH!

What was your most embarrassing gym moment?

Haha! That! It's a bit of a shock isn't it, and first one and then another!

I've also taken a 10k plate off someone's bar on the smith machine when they were between sets. It was really close and looked like the pegs where the plates were kept. His eyes nearly popped out of his head!! He did keep his temper tho and politely asked for it back.

The embarrassing thing was that I was too embarrassed to explain myself and to this day he probably still thinks I jus took it knowing he was using it!, oooooohhhh god! :embarassed:

HA HA...yea, and when you have headphones on it's worse because sometimes you don't know if a silent one snuck out or if you just sent a fart echo through the whole place. TG I work out at 4:30 am and it's just a handful of us regulars there.

LOL!

When I started bench presses, I was too weak to lift the Olympic bar, so I took it off the Olympic bench, then proceeded to put the 30# "pre-loaded" bar on the bench...then, realized that the bar was too narrow for the rack. Doh! :blushing:

Plenty of people saw me do it...I felt really silly, but it was pretty funny, too. It's all part of the process, right?

I also couldn't figure out why the lat pulldown bar wouldn't come down in our work gym. I checked the weight, dropped it a bit, pulled again, and nothing. I realized after a lot of confusion that the bar was racked in the storage hooks. I don't know how many people saw that, but they were good sports and pretended not to.

Oh...good to know! I'd so do that, and you're up in the air for the entire gym to see you. Oy.

When I do stupid crap, I try not to make eye contact with anyone and pretend that the people that saw me do it are still learning, too. Sometimes, I just laugh at myself, because life is just so hard, for me. I overcomplicate everything and miss the point, all of the time. Lol!

Let me add that about 30 minutes later, I was doing my cooldown on the treadmill and dropped my phone. I bent down to pick it up, completely forgetting that I was on the treadmill. Luckily, I hopped off before I launched off the back like a pile of wreckage on the floor.

When I was done, I was walking over to the stretch area and the guy on the treadmill behind me tapped my arm and said it was the greatest near miss he'd ever seen.

Yeah, I'd have never pulled that off.
