ITT post your most embarrassing gym moment

[brendbro]

this one time I was squatting and I heard/felt a massive rip in my pants going down on the squat, I didn't let it stop me... I finished the squat and racked the weight only to realise I had simultaneously ripped open both the back of my gym pants and underwear wide open.

What was worse was having to finish another 3 sets of squats afterward :p

What are some of your most embarrassing moments?

[PhiSig2298]

Had bad gas one day & so I really had to fart. I thought "how can I let this out without everyone hearing it?" forget the smell... No way around that!


Anyway so I'm standing there, kind of away from everyone and let it loose & then went back to my lifts. I didn't hear it so it's all good right? Well my dumbass forgot that I had my earphones in.. Apparently people did hear it and were snickering and laughing. Smelled bad too.

[kkaustin812]

I've let out some seriously loud farts, especially while doing heavy squats.

[neginfluence04]

Was showing off my 130lb dumbbell press one night tried to adjust grip and dropped 130lb dumbbell on my face. FAIL

[yieldtonothing]

years ago i was doing standing flys and gave myself a second circumcision. i was 16 and dropped to the ground immediately.

[Smegmalion]

Was just starting to bench press after I had been doing dumbbells (never benched before, had always stuck with dbs) and after a couple sets I loaded up the same weight I'd been doing with dumbbells. Did a couple reps, then tried to rack it and missed one side. The plates fell off and one guy came and put em back on the bench press while another guy came and gave me all kinds of pointers, acting like I'd never been in the gym before... ouch.

I do this every week. Every pair of bottoms I have has a big hole on the crotch.

Biggest embarrassments for me are not been able to get up on a 400 squat and having to drop the weight. Other minor niggles are I'm forever tripping over the mat on the way to the DB rack.

[feelsg00dmayne]

when i started... probably failing a 95 bench and letting them 25s slide off the bar.

[HunterCML]

Tripped and fell off a treadmil. Hey brahs free tip, when your shoe lace comes loose - just stop the damn machine and tie it.















Also pretty embarrassed of the 4 months I was 1/4 squatting everything before I was awared I've been lifting like a phaggot. Thnx bb.com.

[ErickStevens]

Shiit myself squatting. Left the stained draws in the bathroom trash.

[Christiffer]

Benching, got stuck a few inches off the chest. Somehow did a quick sqirm forward and let it down on the bench behind my head. Should've lowered it to my chest and dropped the weights off.

Is that why you don't have an AVI? :p Any serious injuries?

[drummerguydw]

One of my first times squatting and was wearing regular shirts, ripped a huge hole in my pants, now I always wear gym shirts on leg day haha, also trying for a pr on db press and kicked the db too far back and ending up throwing a 80 lb db behind me

[trance__dreamer]

during teaching aerobics classes:

- 1 strap of my tank top ripped (somehow...still don't know how the fuk it happened. the tank top was in perfect condition before-hand.) & fell down. left breast exposed. whole class of women stopped, shrieked, jaw dropped, etc. august 2009.
- said "jack it off" instead of jack it out. july 2009.
- pants split open @ the back. august 2010.

...didn't really give a ****.


BUT, this takes the non-trans fat cake:

- summer 2008 before i started teaching/confidence. had a HYOOOOOOOGE crush on this shy @ the community centre's weight room. i would get into my lifts so much that i would jerk my knee around to the beat of my headphones in between sets. (i still do this. but now i have no shame.) i got so into it once. he saw me in the mirror. he was off to the side a bit & back a little. but yea. he started to smile & kinda sheepishly had his head cocked. so cute. :o :o :o i turned BRIGHT red. & i had to take a break to go to the bathroom. bahahahaha.

[NegatronPrime]

bailing out of an overhead press with an olympic bar after nearly falling backwards because of putting way too much leg drive into it.

nearly KO'd the guy on the assisted pull up machine behind me with it

[trance__dreamer]

Benching, got stuck a few inches off the chest. Somehow did a quick sqirm forward and let it down on the bench behind my head. Should've lowered it to my chest and dropped the weights off.
something similar happened to me in october 2009. failed @ my last rep on my last set of bench. i'm VERY conscious. but there were so many hot guys @ that particular gym. early saturday morning. in the hoity toitey rich pretentious prick area of vancouver. these guys ... drool.

came crashing down onto my chest. had to twirk my left wrist to save my chest. my wrist was kinda fukt up in certain positions for like 6 months. some 10/10 monster came rushing over. he was like "...err...this is gunna be awkward. but i gotta get on top of you right now to help take this off." (there wasn't any room behind the bench.) i was like "dude, i don't care. just do it." so, he did. lolololol. not gunna lie, kinda arousing. haha! i wasn't even embarassed. it's impossible to be embarassed when every guy in there is intrigued by the only chick taking it seriously. but i decided to end my workout & not finish up the rest of my shti. i went to go stretch; kinda saw stars for a while after that. AHAHA.

[Dujin77]

I got the walking, or in this case running, farts on the treadmill once. They were loud too, I heard em over the sound of the equipment and with my headphones on. People looked at me disgust and others smirked, bu I just kept on going like nothing happened and tried to pretend like it wasn't me. Smell was pretty epic too, usually it's not as bad when it's your won brand but these wre terrrible, I can only imagine what everyone else thought.

Omg i loved that show when i was like 3^

[DoubleTapThat]

when i first started overhead pressing pushed up and lost balance (I'd only just started using a 7ft bar) and instead of thinking to drop it, i let it pull me backwards and smashed head on the ground...

LMFAO. That is fawkin hilarious. Nice artistic skills brah.

My most embarrassing moment was getting stuck on decline bench press. This really huge guy was doing some DB curls slightly in front of me with a mirror in front of both of us. Didn't want to pull the "drop weight off one side then the other" maneuver for the embarrassment of all the cardio bunnies seeing me and laughing. Tried to get the huge guy's attention by talking but he had headphones in. My desperation move was kicking my legs in the air and shyt so the dude could see me through the mirror. He finally did see and came over to lift the 155 lbs off my chest with 1 finger......making me look like even more of a bitc*....shoulda just dropped the weights man.

[fad3d]

If you drop the weights you can at least act like you slipped or something afterward.

[dukend]

Trance likes hot guys.

[phal]

I once failed bench pressing (last set; doubles/singles) and had to roll the weight off myself, but not a single **** was given.

.... & I kept going without a spot.

In retrospect, no one even came over to help, but one of the regulars said he'd spot me if I needed.

It wasn't like I got buried, since if you do it fast enough it's relatively easy.

[psychodiver9]

I was switching treads and walked across my wife's tread Which was already on. Wipe put. I'm pretty sure she's the only one who saw me but she lold

[TXguy33]

good point...fuuuuark me.

oh well, I laughed it off and joke with that dude about it when I see him now.

I was doing this and when I finished my last set I Didn't rack it right and When I tried to step forward the weight fell. Since I was still grabbing it, I got pulled down with it. You could hear the weights crashing in the whole gym. Luckly it pushed me forward at the bottom so I didn't get seriously injured just a slight shoulder scrape.

[moneyrich]

Was benching and on my last set of last rep, my chest gave out and i tried to rack it on the lower rack, racked it on my left side, but couldn't get the right side so i dropped it on my neck. Luckily it wasn't too heavy, so i just slid the weights off.

[jak3e1992]

First started lifting in high school me and my best friend were benching. His dumb ass was doing to much for himself and when he went down I farted...

He started laughing and dropped the weight on him and couldn't get it off, I was laughing so hard I couldn't help him for like a minute...his legs flailing, face red, grunting like a pig...hilarious sh!t.

^ the time laughter almost killed someone.

[AnnieOlson]

had the bar fall on me while i was bench pressing and it trapped me against the bench for a solid 5 minutes. or at least it felt like it. my husband had his headphones in doing dips, so i had to wriggle out. by the time i got out he was staring at me and said "did you want help".

the embarrassing part is this was on a smith machine :|

[trance__dreamer]

Trance likes hot guys.

i blame being around males all the time in gyms & on here. i don't have many female friends. so, my brain is very much like you guys; visual & idgaf-like. you've corrupted me! raaaaaage.

Arriving at a hotel that had an arrangement with a gym nearby, I eagerly wandered out despite jetlag to get in a quick workout.

The place was packed, but I managed to compete my routine without incident. Decided to shower and I even managed to complete that task without incident.

Walked out of the shower stall, towel around my waist while drying my hair with another towel. I followed my usual path towards the lockers at my not usual gym, turning left and I kept walking until I realize that I'm on the gym floor. Mortified, I turn and attempt to retreat back into the locker room, which I manage to do.

But now the problem is that I'm staring at boobs (usually a good thing) and someone screams (usually a bad thing). Realizing that I've just made things vastly worse, I now retreat and as I step out onto the gym floor in search of the correct locker room, I'm greeted by cheers (or was it just laughter) and a sudden rush of cold air.

Turns out that one of the woman had become sufficiently mad that she followed my out of the woman's locker room and pulled the towel from my waist, stripping me of any shred of dignity that might have been remaining at that point.

Red me never did return to that gym. But I did enjoy my one week deload.

[NegatronPrime]

^they must have been cheers.

who wouldnt cheer for a naked pug running out of the booby room?

[chike22]

^^ That, Sir, is epic.

[kkaustin812]

Walked out of the shower stall, towel around my waist while dying my hair with another towel.

why were you dying your hair at the gym?

[WonderPug]

^ Fixed the typo. You try typing for four paws. At least you have articulating digits!!!

[oats_addict]

The classic - Cant re-rack bb on bench press. Worse thing was, it was when I was in Japan training on my own in some dingy uni gym with no one to help, but with people walking past outside and looking in. So they saw me just lying there with a BB stuck on my chest and me trying to squirm out from underneath. Took a fair while.

Always drop a few protein bombs in the gym too then look round and pass the blame to others.

[Cumulonimbus]

Farting while doing a max effort lift or farting when leg pressing.

Why must the vagina machine aka hip ab/adductor machine be near the area where deadlifts are performed?!

[2canman]

i was on the sit up machine in the decline position. i tried to adjust and ended up pulling the wrong spring, and i fell off and rolled backwards. embarassing chiz

[R3T3K]

I have many embarrassing situations since I tend to be very un-attentive and in full beast mode at the gym.

- A few years back I left my keys on the gym floor at closing time. One of my bros was around somewhere, but I figured he was in the sauna, so I snagged his towel; Dude came around while I was bending down to grab my keys at closing time to grab the towel and ran off with it. I walked down 3 levels of the gym, and through 4 or 5 of the desk girls hovering around giggling as I hobbled back holding my junk in hands.

- I've coated the walls at my current gym with my internals a few times during heavy squat and dead-lift sets. I clean up after myself though :(

[YeomenKek]

-ATG leg press to failure
-Get stuck at bottom
-Try to push myself out of the seat so I can get up, take off plates and return to normal position
-Sliding myself up out of the seat
-Back of seat finishes sooner than expected
-Perform backflip in front of entire gym and land on neck/shoulders

[trance__dreamer]

insert aerobics eric prydz call on meeeeeeeeee. i don't teach that adductor/abductor/etc bull. but jesus h christ. when dudes try to sly'ly watch me teach & the people in my class. sly? no. not in my vocab. be obvious. it will lead to a #. i've given my # a handful of times in the past. most turn out to be completely r-tarded. but still.



A chick was mirin my sumo deads yesterday. She asked if I was European :cool:

double you tee eff. i get asked ERREDAY if i'm european. (@ decabol dan's groce grocery store ... despite having non-ethnic foods in my basket. AND especially with front desk staff @ gyms. me: "hey, i'm the sub for today's aerobics class.") orrrr...if i don't say anything 1st: they'll approach me & use like basic english words very slowly & lots of explanitory hand gestures.

"how long have you been living in canada for? where are you from? :)" ... "sup, giiiirl?" ... "oh. nevermind. i just thought..."


they say it's my earrings &/or my face &/or my "poise".

[adean1989]

No where near as embarrassing as those mentioned but:

So I'm on the treadmill (back when cardio was the thing to do!) running pretty damn fast, my arms are swinging and I accidentally snag the headphone cable, pulling the cord straight out the socket and sending my phone flying between my treadmill and the next.

At this point my phone is absolutely BLASTING N-trance set you free: "ONLY LOVE CAN SET YOU FREEEE", unable to think, concerned solely with what my university colleagues would think of my music tastes (I panicked, N-trance rocks), I try to bend over, whilst running... yes and attempt to grab my phone. Big mistake as the treads are zooming along and I stumble in a bid to regain my balance. I thankfully manage to stop myself crashing after near collapsing and avoid the cliche treadmill bailout fail.

By now I'm thinking straight so I hit the red button, hop off, grab my phone and stop the track. Step away from the machine with my head held low before retreating to the free weights area, where I don't reappear for over an hour. No one ever mentioned anything to me ever... must of styled it out nicely.

[MITCHAPAL00ZA]

one time when i was squatting the "bro" next to me was playing with his lacrosse stick. as im ATG, i feel a sudden smack on my ass, so i fire out of the hole, rack the weight and call the kid out....too bad next set i realized it was me splitting my underwear, not him hitting me with his lax stick.

[FatWhiteKid]

Squatting at my Uni gym, boxers ripped at the bottom of my last rep and I fell forward off-balance catching my thumb between the bar and the safety rack.

[mike201011]

Knocking over the giant water barrel thing that everyone uses.

I just walked away like nothing happenned haha.

[ko300zx]

One Saturday morning I was feeling really good and tried to go for 1 heavy rep on bench and ummmm...failed. There wasn't really anyone in the gym, I was feeling good and thought I had the weight no problem because I had just done 5 reps at like 20lbs less, and how hard could 1 rep be, so I figured I'd give it a go with no spotter because I thought for sure I had it in the bag. Well I didn't make it and the bar just sat there on my chest after a bit of struggling with it halfway. Finally some guy nearby noticed and helped me lift it off. Now I only train biceps and abs.

[mike201011]

Now I only train biceps and abs.


$hit wont happen unless you eat brown rice and chicken.

[deadpool9]

A few years ago I was attempting my max deadlift. I didn't use a belt at the time, but did use straps. So I get about half way up and I feel a sharp pain in my back which causes me to drop everything. But since I am strapped to the bar it about causes me to fall face first on top of the bar. Trying to recover, I get loose and look up and like 5 military guys (all about 18, new recruits) are looking and whispering back and forth. To make things worse, I decide to try and rack my plates before I leave and they are all just standing around watching me hobble from side to side....
It did annoy me a bit later that they could see I was obviously hurt and did nothing to help. :mad:

Other embarassing thing was ripping bad gas trying to do heavy squats and deads.

[ven33]

My old gym was inhabited by cougars....

Most embarrassing moment was when a cougar followed me to the water fountain and attempted to hit on me by saying "my nephew is a model...you look so much like him"

I had no response and was pinned in a corner....

damn cougars.

[kidej]

When I first started lifting I wasn't aware of how tired I'd get by the end of a workout. I had gone through a whole chest routine and was going to end with a set on the incline bench. I had my friend spotting me (or so I thought), so I put way too much weight on the bar. Just as I let the weight down to my chest for the first rep, I realized it was too heavy. My spotter apparently turned his back on me thinking the weight was easy for me. I pushed up as hard as I could to at least try to rack it on the first peg, but I couldn't. My right side was much stronger and I ended up tilting the bar at an angle. All the weights on the left side started dropping off and once they all fell off, the right side of the bar started tilting and those weights fell off. Most slammed against the ground, but one landed on the side and started rolling through the gym. About two dozen guys saw it happen.

cliffs:
-tired at end of chest routine
-put up too much weight on incline
-spotter doesn't spot
-weights fall off bar and roll around gym
-people stare

[BNCpinoyboi]

Some heavyset guy left his weight on the squat bar. I was zoning out into my music and started to take all the weight off one side thinking I already took some off the other. Nope. Bar falls over and cracks the mirror super nasty. I didn't hear it but on my immediate walk to the front desk, everyone's eyes were drawn upon me like I just committed some type of murder. Apparently the mirror cost around $400? I tried to help clean it up but they wouldn't let me b/c of insurance policies or whatever.
An old man even came up to me and said "I just wanna say good job on doing the right thing" since I went directly to the front desk after it happened. I literally tore the gym up that day :)

[ZMan45]

Failed a squat at the bottom of the rep and leaned forward too much as I tried to lift up and basically fell forward with 300 lbs on my back. Catch bar caught the weight, but I hit the ground pretty good. I work out at my old high school's weight building, so nobody was there.

I agree. Ven, slap.

april 2010: i once put a light dumbell down when i was teaching a class. it riccachayed/bounced off the floor & onto the mirror. it CRACKED/SHATTERED so loud. everyone in my class stopped & gasped. it was a packed class; 30 people just standing there w/ their jaws dropped. i had to keep going. the class was 3/4ths over, anyway. shti. didn't have to pay, though. taught the next morning. it was all tape'd up. a few days later, i was teaching again, & they came to fix it. the repair guys GLARED @ me. heh... =/

[MarkVI]

literally :p





Most embarrassing thing happened recently - I was doing preacher EZ curls and on this particular preacher bench the holder for the Bar is abnormally far below the curling pad....well I reached over and being 5'6'' with T-rex arms I had to lift one foot off the ground to get that extra reach....well apparently 105 lbs at the angle weighs more than my 195lbs and thus I got lifted off the ground and half way over the pad as the bar went back down. I looked quite the fool but it was fun laughing at myself and hearing about it from my training partner every arms day...

[Zaneseed]

Going to failure on clean and presses.


Was absolutely wrecked at the end of a set, physically and mentally (I was supersetting them with high rep squats for the lulz) when I decided to rip it up from the ground for one last rep.

Knelt down, gripped the bar and hoisted it up perfectly. Then I remembered I was still looking down.


The bar came up, smashed my nose and I bled all over the bar, my new chucks (:() and the floor. But I got it up :cool:

[JoeHate]

Also pretty embarrassed of the 4 months I was 1/4 squatting everything before I was awared I've been lifting like a phaggot. Thnx bb.com.

This just happened to me. I'm really new to lifting. I put way too much weight on the bar and squatted about halfway down (I think I'm going all the way down). I managed to get 1 rep in and re rack the bar. So I took 30 lbs off and did one "set" of half assed squats. I was feeling great about myself until a random guy comes up to me and says, "hey man do you want some pointers?" He goes on to tell me I'm not even going halfway down, my heels are coming off the ground and he saw me almost blow out my knee and drop the bar on my first rep. He had me bring the weight down to 95 lbs and actually stayed with me for two more sets and showed me the correct way to squat. I'm really happy that he showed me how to do it, but man was that embarrassing.
