Have you ever made a complete fool of yourself at the gym?

>>76306038 (OP)
I almost got crushed under 200kg while squatting but only one guy saw me and tried helping me to rerack lmao

>>76306038 (OP)
why did he hold it that long? Why did the woman in the back go back to doomscrolling instead of checking up on him?

>>76306038 (OP)
she chick in the background didnt give a fuck LOL

is the barbell okay

>>76306038 (OP)
I already passed out during a clean when I was learning the technique, the bar fell on my shin and I still have a big scar a decade since then

>>76306052
Not her problem.

was benching lmao 230lbs and failed on my second rep. I dumped it to the side and it made an extremely loud noise lol. Lots of people rushed over asking if i was okay. It was simultaneously embarrassing and relieving. I have always been a self conscious person, so doing something that i was afraid of and realizing it wasn't that bad made me feel less self conscious in the gym. I also was pleasantly surprised that so many strangers would rush over to care about my safety / wellbeing, as I usually assumed every stranger i passed by didn't give a fuck about anyone but themselves. but it was also way louder and felt way more dangerous than i expected so I will ask for a spot next time i bench in my upper limits.

One day I pulled a muscle in my back doing RDLs with dumbbells. Crumbled down on all fours for a minute. Didn't know what happened at first so I rested for a minute and tried another set. Same result. No one came over to help or say anything so hopefully it wasn't as embarrassing as I feared

Also sometimes I puke in the bathroom toilets after a workout if I pushed too hard. Happened today, in fact. Humiliating but it came after my best session of the year so a bit up and down

>>76306038 (OP)
Yeah back in the day, trying to recover from having snapped my shit up, was attempting to squat lmao1plaet to make sure my form and hip hinge were good and I snapped my shit up again and had to bail on fucking 1 plate like a bitch. The gym was very full, and there were masses of people waiting for a squat rack too lmao.

>>76306038 (OP)
>Straps
Got what he deserved

>>76306038 (OP)
is that AI like this?

>>76306038 (OP)
Not yet thankfully. I did see a kid trapping himself under a 80kg bar on bench press and went to save him. After I racked it and nonchalantly told him if he "wanted a spot in the future, you just have to ask", he stood up, stared straight forward, and just marched in a straight line out of the doors. Never saw him again, and it's been over a year.

Forgot to breathe between reps on OHP, passed out. I don't know if that makes me a fool though, it seems I'm the only one trying in my gym.
What happened another time is that I risked my life. Was bent doing rows next to a rack, this dude started to remove plates only on one side after squatting. Barbell tipped over in front of me, barely missing my head.

>>76307591
>passed out during OHP
How’d the bar not full on your head?
>this dude started to remove plates only on one side after squatting
May as well be a rite of passage once you hit 2 pl8 squat lol. Not sure how dumbasses manage to let this happen when squatting at least 3 plates though

>>76306052
You would come to his rescue when he didn't need rescue? Fuck your generation pussybitch

>>76307612
>How’d the bar not full on your head?
I managed to rerack it in time as I somehow realized something was wrong, but I don't remember it. In any case, I had safeties set.
>2 pl8 squat
2 plates are not enough to make it tip over though, he had 3

>>76306038 (OP)
No, because my ego does not get in the way, and im not trying to impress you faggots

>>76306038 (OP)

I split my shorts squatting once.

>>76306053
what an interesting observation, ranjeesh.

one time I went to the gym 2-4 times a week for 8 months but had minimal gains because I didn’t get enough protein haha

>>76306038 (OP)
How to achieve skinny retard strength?

>>76306052
He was wearing figure 8 straps

>>76306038 (OP)
I'm about to. Never lifted the barbell before, gonna try.

Yesterday this bugman was incline bench pressing with no clips. He was about to rack but one side was too low and weights fell off. I pretended not to see, as you should

being black is already embarrassment enough

>>76306038 (OP)
I didn't adjust the length on an inversion table and got stuck upside down kek. I was trying repeatedly to flip myself back around to no avail until some bro saved me.

>>76306052
Why would anyone care about a nigger?

>>76307185
We love you bro.

Similar thing happened, I was pressing the barbell, suddenly things got a bit slow and sounds got muffled and I felt confused about where I am and heard a loud clang. The loud clang was the barbell missing my head and landing on the safeties of the rack, from full height. Since I was standing like an idiot and not crumpled to a heap people thought that I was just an asshole who was casually dropping barbells on the safeties.
Apparently the shoulder muscles can compress into the neck with anrrow geip and with improper valsalva/not breathing you can knock yourself out doing the press.

tore my gym shorts squatting but the gym was nearly empty and I don't think anyone even noticed

This shit is my main fear in lifting.

>>76306038 (OP)
Yes, but not that badly.
My worst one was doing standing OHP, and I went too far back at the lockout, lost balance, and had to drop the weight to avoid falling backward or bending my arms back.

>>76306038 (OP)
Nothing extreme or that brought attention to myself. The closest I ever got was nearly blacking out at the top of a power clean. Thankfully I recognized it as it was happening and tensed my whole body as hard as I could until I returned to normal. Shit felt insane, euphoric is actually an accurate word to describe it. I imagine it's the same feeling you get from a choking fetish.

>>76306038 (OP)
i do a roll of shame almost once a week bc of my current routine's progression scheme. but i've never been more embarrassed than when i loaded a mini barbell one sided without thinking and it catapulted off the stand and jolted everyone into staring and not laughing at me. also little shit like dropping a 10 lb plate on my foot when i'm tired...but the most embarrassed i've ever been was when a woman (young, attractive, in tights) was leg pressing somewhat heavy next to me then got exhausted and pinned under the weight so she called me over for help and i just started shuffling and making small talk instead of pulling the plates off right away bc my first instinct was wow a grill talked to me

>>76306038 (OP)
Not really myself but the doors in the bathroom at my gym have this green/red lock showing if it's open/locked, there was a dumbass taking a shit with the door open (it was green and I couldn't see his feet under), I was kind in a rush to take a piss then opened the door and caught the mfer lackin, we were both embarrassed but I kinda just laughed and said sorry, he said sorry aswell but I haven't seen him back there in almost 2 years now

>>76307495
That's not AI, that really happened!
In Ohio!
