Gym Fails thread

Can we get a thread about some lifting fails we've seen at the gym?

Got some OC
>At Uni Gym
>Working on Incline Bench
>Group of 3 DYEL Saudis come up to bench next to me
>Carrying elastic bands and 45 or 50 Lb Kettlebells
>Ignore and carry on
>Take bar off the rack and tie elastic bands to each side
>NO WAY
>Tie other ends to the Kettlebells
>Rerack bar, Weights are at completely different heights
>It's happening
>One of them does a set no problem
>Next one starts doing it and struggles
>Friends on either side ready to spot
>Band snaps/ comes untied and kettlebell falls to the floor
>Bar flings up like a fucking trebuchet, catching one of the friends in the face busting his nose
>Everyone looking at the three of them now
>Guy under bar slides out and looks around
>The 3 of them just nope the fuck out

This was on my last day at Uni.. Great way to end my college career

>i'm so fat and wearing so much gear that I can't get the bar to my chest

So they hung kettlebells on the bar instead of plates?

Yeah, its some weird crossfit shit

It's actually not, just another useful exercise coopted by crosshit like olympic lifting

It works great for stabilizers, which often times are the main reason why people stall on their bench press

Also extremely effective for bodybuilding workouts that rely on time under tension

You can't explode the weight up forcing you to go slow and contract slowly

Jesus christ the guy looks like a fucking monster I would literally give up my bench or squat rack if wants it.

i'm sure a bunch of 130lb stick figures could really benefit from the stabilizer development rather than just flat benching like a normal person.

Look at that guys hands compared to the guy spotting him. They're like twice the size.

Also, wtf is he sniffing at the beginning? Getting a quick coke buzz in there?

>at gym
>a guy i knew shows up, with his gym buddy
>start doing deadlifts and stuff
>they're next to me on bench
>arguing
>gym buddy says he can't do that much
>my friend says he'll spot him and he'll be fine
>he tries and one side goes straight down
first time i've seen it happen

I used to think stabilizers as a road block was a meme until I focused shoulders and did band training for a month after stalling at 350

Hit 385 not too long after

385 is different than 135 though

Yes in that case they are a bunch of memesters that likely took it from jason bloho

schreg thread?

what muscle does that work

Only dyels and fatties watching this shitshow. Waste your life trying to look like shrek to lift heavy weights. I'll get pussy meanwhile.

Smelling salts I assume. Which is some form of ammonia if I remember correctly. Makes you keep sniffing it and gets you pumped up

Run out of room for plates on your leg press?

No problem if you're schreg.

The EGO

Smelling salts, yes, but its to he doesn't lose consciousness while lifting.

When his muscles are all flexed to shit and working over-time, it'll restrict blood flow to the brain. The smelling salts will open the airways and capillaries, keeping himself from blacking out.

Actually pretty common at my gym when folks are going for larger, dangerous lifts.

Why is he also chained to it?

He's a Slav in Chain

Some guy dropped a dumbbell after DB bench press and it fell right on his water bottle which exploded. There was water everywhere on the mirrors, the guy next to him was soaked and obviously pretty pissed, it made a loud ass noise that startled everyone.

>guy comes in with lifting shoes
>goes directly to the squat rack
>doesn't do cleans or jerks after his squats.
>goes back to dressing room to change his shoes.

I'll never get how you can buy oly shoes exclusively for squatting. Just fix your mobility man

nose torque is love, nose torque is life

Why do people even use those resistance bands? Why not just add more weight if you want to make it harder?

It adds or reduces resistance at different parts of the lift in order to fix weak points. It can add weught exclusively at the top of a deadlift, if you have a problem with locking out than this will help.

Bands give a different resistance curve to straight weight, which is sometimes useful.

In the OPs case, I'm pretty sure they were mimicking a deliberate instability setup (the bells hanging off the bands are constantly moving around and trying to drag the bar out of position) and screwed it up badly.

he has the facial expression of a petite porn performer preparing to get dicked by 5 black guys

what a hunk ;)

Not realizing he benched 700+ RAW

Ammonia

It's pretty common for Powerlifters, stop hating

Go back to your shitty crossfit workout faggot gtfo this board. If you wanna work stabilizers use fucking dumbbells.

This is hilarious. Someone post the one of the guy "shrugging" by moving his head back and forth...

Have fun benching 1pl8 max lmaoo

>old dude grabs lat pulldown bar
>he backs away from the machine while holding the bar
>uses the bar like a fucking steering wheel, repeatedly spinning it clockwise and counterclockwise

also

>different dude uses bench press station
>loads up lmao2pl8
>takes ridiculously wide grip, hands are almost touching the plates
>does multiple quarter reps, going nowhere near the chest

i was actually getting really hyped and inspired to work twice as hard and then he fucking started and i lost my shit. holy shit that's good

>Yesterday at the gym
>I go really early im usually the first one in and during my workout the regulars come in which is a one girl and a group of 3 people. usually this is all the people that i see during my workout
>that day another guy came in, i think he was new ive never seen him before, but he didnt look extremely skinny like he never stopped inside a gym before or he atleast played some sport
> he looks around for a bit
>start doing curls, i noticed he didnt warm up and started with a pretty heavy weight, but i didnt pay any more attention to it really, was too busy doing my own thing
>a bit later hear a yell, then regular girl screaming for help
>we ( me and the other regulars) walk over and see new guy somehow broke his wrist

the area he was in wasn't visible from where i was so i couldn't see how exactly he managed to bust his wrist, so not sure if this is really a fail or anything, but i was just thinking how much it must suck getting a gym membership, figure out a workout routine, be all exited that youre going to get gains and all the girls will swoon over you and bam first day you break your wrist

>I have no idea how to greentext: the post
kys

Powerlifting has become a grotesque freakshow that looks part all you can eat buffet and part gay fetish convention.

No one can claim bodybuilding is the shits while endorsing this. What Kai 'I'm here, I'm queer and I fuck melons' Greene is to John Grimek, Scott 'bouncing bars off my belly and calling is reps' Mendelson is to John Kuc.

Fucking disgusting shit that's worse than anything else in this thread because it's from the top level of a 'sport'.

...

>Salts

Part powerlifting fetish and convention, part Mendelson being so fat, unhealthy and ill he blacks out while restricting airflow for 3 seconds.

Can knees have orgasms?

>Be me, heaviest lifter by far at gym
>Know I look like a serial killer (tight shirt, short shorts, beard), since all I do is death stare the bar or lip sync and dance to my music
>Doing bench, gym has no safety bars, so it's either complete the rep or roll
>Going for 3pl8 for the first time after hanging at 295 for a long time, due to lack of safeties or competent spotters
>Unrack
>Bar comes down, goes back up easy
>Alright baby, 3 reps, here I come!
>Bar goes down
>Wait, someone turned the gravity up
>Fuckfuckfuckfuck
>Decide to have some fun and cut down on my scare factor
>Growl "ROLL OF"
>Switch to falsetto "SHAAAAAAAAAAAME"
>Roll bar off to chorus of giggles from other patrons.
>Smile like a dope and clean up my mess.

It didn't feel that bad, plus, people aren't terrified of me now, which is double edged, but still, fighting the autism.

Nice one man, you already made it

Kinda, pic related.

God I hate fat powerlifters. How is that even remotely impressive. 90% of the people in a gym could unrack that and move it three inches but I'm supposed to be impressed since his stomach almost touches the bar?

>You wont progress past 1pl8 unless you hang kettle bells off the end of your bar
Literally kill yourself

>near-empty gym, doing my routine
>see in the mirror that a bunch of pajeets are swarming one of the benches on the other end of the hall
>four guys and two girls
>two guys are fat, two are dyel as fuck
>chattering loudly about something and elbowing each other, girls are giggling
>apparently, one of the dyels either boasted or got challenged to bench press X weight
>he starts putting plates on a barebell, with great difficulty
>holy shit, this currynigger has no muscle at all, he is barely able to lift the fucking plates
>he loads the barbell to 120kg (200-something lbs, I think)
>isthisniggerserious.png
>his retarded friends are cheering him on
>he gets on a bench
>other pajeets stand above to spot for him
>thisisnotgoingtoendwell.tiff
>before I can stop this idiot, he manages to lift the bar off the hinges and immediately drops it on his chest
>crunch
>the gym goes into full zoo mode, with pajeets gibbering like baboons trying to get the bar off their sputtering and screaming friend
>with my help, they finally manage to free him
>the guy is unresponsive by then, probably gone into shock
>he crushed at least four of his ribs
>not spitting blood, so the lungs might still be intact
>ambulance was nearby, so within a few of minutes the dumb faggot gets carried out on a stretcher
>one of his friends then tries to pick a fight with the receptionist for some reason
Fucking Indians.

>within a few minutes
self-fix

Great story user, good to hear that's one less moron in the world hopefully he died
