Whats The Funniest Thing You've Seen Happen In The Gym???

[ThaPerculator]

A co-worker and I were just talking about some of the stupid/Funny things we've seen happen in the gym...

In particular, this idiot I saw using a thumbless grip on a incline bench press dropping the bar and having it just miss his face... Don't think the dude broke anything(lucky he was only using like 125lbs.), but damn that's gotta hurt...

Just bored/curious to hear some funny stories...

I enjoy people that make funny grunts/noises. And people that fart doing ab exercises... especially girls.
There seems to be an endless line of people who don't know how to do exercises correctly.

There is one dude at my gym who never uses a spotter on the bench. Every time I look over at him he either has the bar stuck on his chest or he is bending over and picking up the weights off of the floor. Ask for a little help or use less weight, jerky.

i saw a guy slip on the treadmill and get shot off the back end. it looked a bit painful and i felt bad for the guy but i still had a tough time controlling a little laugh. he seemed ok and probably hurt his ego more than anything else.

 

[Balt]

Just about every day that I went to my university's gym there was this total tool that was trying to look thug and act like he was a badass. He would invariably approach girls and get shot down.

Fake confidence is worse than having no confidence at all.

My roommate and I were on bench, and he was about to life 375 or so. We don't use those clips or whatever their called when we bench, just because we're lazy.

So, he lifts the weight up and does one rep relatively easily, then as he was bringing it down for the second rep, his elbow "broke" (very quickly, and it was unusual since he could do 2 or 3 reps before needing help) and his arm collapsed on one side, all the weights slid off, then his other arm collapsed because the weight shifted, then all of those weights slid off.

These guys that were all hard core lifters and stuff were laughing their asses off. But they said they'd seen just about everything and had it happen to them too, so it was cool.

edit: There was this other guy I saw, he was all Abercrombie and crap. He was doing curls right in front of the mirror. Every so often, he'd actually kiss his biceps. He'd walk around trying to be all buff, stop in front of a mirror, and flex. What a tool.

That has to be one of the most pitiful things I have ever heard of.

These two kids were goofing around with the treadmill, putting it on fullspeed and smashing themselves into a wall.

Shortly after, one of them left a spot. The guy lost it and crushed his larynx.
He had it bandaged and found the kids. He said to one "You were supposed to spot me stick boy"
The wiseass kid said "there you are"
The musclehead then proceeded to pick them up by their necks and throw them out of a second story window.

It was an old beavis and butthead episode. Very hilarious

There's a guy at my university gym that comes in and grabs, maybe the 5lb hand weights, and starts doing curls. He has this crazy little smile on his face as he does it, almost like there's some joke that only he knows. Because the weight is so light, he does the curls very quickly and without extending all the way, so just these short, fast motions. Then he switches to the 30lb dumbell and does some shoulder presses in a similar fashion. Between sets, he sets the dumbell on end on the floor and rests his hands on the top, like an old man might do with a cane or something. I feel sorry for him and want to give him some tips, but I've never talked to him before.

I've been working out for over 4 years and I can write a book about weird people at my gym. My gym (a fairly high class joint) seems to attract these weirdos. Anyways, here's a few:

This one guy uses clips to count how many sets he has done. For example, he'd grab 10 or so clips and put them aside. He'll do one set and then he'll move one clip. Do one more set and then move another. And so on... Funny as hell.

This lady does leg curls at the speed of light. She puts super light weight on and then proceeds banging the weights doing at least 3 reps per second. All you hear is loud noise of plates hitting each other - clank, clank, clank.

We have a lot of hot girls at my gym One guy always stalks them. He never says a word to any of them, just starts working out right next to them, proceeding to follow them throughout the gym. He's been doing that for almost 2 years. We nicknamed him a "silent stalker"

I was playing raquetball with a friend of mine. She tried to hit the ball but she missed the her followthrough carried the raquett and it hit her in the face. Up to this day I cannot understand how she did that. Doesn't seem physically possible.

heh i work out almost every day at the YMCA. One day a new guy comes in dressed in that crap. I had just finished doing some warm up curls (15lb curls) when he starts laughing and says kids should stay upstairs! (there are weight machines). He proceeds to grab a 50lb and starts doing curls. about the 4th one he drops the weight and yelps and grabs his bicep. One of the regular hardcore guys laughs and says "dumbsh!ts should stay upstairs!" heh everyone started laughing. the guy left and has yet to come back.

this guy walked in and tried to pick up a bar one time. i guess it was too heavy and he peed his pants

Rotfl. I agree. He sounds like a tool.

 

[Red Dawn]

A friend of a friend came over to use my home gym and crapped his pants when he tried to bench press. Actually it rather sucked as he shait on my bench.

I didn't know you were looking at me! :Q

Weak people doing weights they shouldn't be doing, guy running backwards on the treadmill, and assholes screaming in the middle of a set to bring attention to themselves.

LOL

I had a kid in my weights class do that... funny as hell...

I did see this guy once, I dunno if he was joking or serious, but basically he was doing seated military presses, and yelling out "AHHNULD!! AHHNULD!! AHHNULD!!" between every rep, like Lou Ferrigno did in pumping iron. I can't remember what I was doing at the time but I almost lost the weight I was holding I was laughing so hard.

god i hate it when people grunt or scream loud. its not like they are doing to heavy sets either. they just want to look like they are buff studs.


not only weak people but even buff people trying to show off with high weights.

 

[eakers]

i was at the gym with my friend and we were just finishing a spinning class when she asked me what i was wearing out that night and so joking around i said "black knee highs and my black skirt... no underwear because im mad at my boyfriend"
then this random guy behind me said "really? where are you guys going?"

 

[Beau]

Unfortunately, it happened to me.

I was running on the treadmill (about 8.5 mph) and was coming up on mile 2 when my shoelace came undone. I tripped and got launched face down off the back of the machine. I was too busy LMAO at myself to realize how bad I was hurt. Man, the next morning I was in serious pain... bruises on my shoulder, bad rug burns...
