Most awkward and embarrassing experienc of my life. Do I change gyms or go all out and buy a #LiftForSwift vest?

now you have no choice but to get your squat up to 405

That's not even that bad, if that's true you're a beta bitch nigga for leaving without working out because of what other thought.


>Doing Deadlifts
>Let out a masssive fucking fart
>Litterally felt my asscheeks shake
>Guy behind me on the back row machine gets up and walks away from machine


Good times.

hahahaha

Buy the vest. Own your mistake.

>when I don't clip the weights during squat and the shit falls off
Yea it sucks. I'm naturally imbalanced as fuck due to scoliosis, so the whole 'fix your shit' thing isn't the end all for the weird shit that happens when I squat.

>the couple of times I've almost choked under the bar while benching since I didn't ask for a spot
Wew lad.

You know how to get out of that shit?

Own it mother fucker, blast that shit to the roof top and roar at the top of your lungs if it ever happens again.

Or laugh it the fuck off with a smile, fuck.

I forgot my headphones one day so instead i imagined i was listening to music.
>shaking my head violently
>listening to mu imagination music version of x gon give it to yah
> i realize there is a girl behind me after 2 minutes of violent headshaking
> i turn around and just smile back at her while maintaining eye contact
>she's just staring at me eyes
>violent head shaking intensifies
> this poor girl working on the machines just jumps out the bicep machine and takea off
>i realize now what i was doing
> i stop my imagination music and violent head shaking
>i look at myself in the mirror
>i realize i showed the prime characteristics of an autist
>then i just start back my violent head shaking and laugh at what i just did while working biceps


It wasn't until i hit back home did i realize how stupid and austistic i must have seemed, that was my only gym fuck up and i regret scaring off that girl.

If you dont mind me asking how much did you squat also nothing quite detailed as yours but i was squating one time at 2 sets left start my 2nd to last yet get to the last rep shit my self not very much but enough to know it wasnt a fart dont think anyone noticed go the bathroom to check wipe it off as best as i can from the underwear and ass then layer my underwear with toilet paper get back in that bitch and finished my workout

Veeky Forums WALKS THIS ROAD TOGETHER

Baki is my waifu

TO GET STRONK

Im quite strong and I've been training for 3 years. I squat 70kg, deadlift 87.5kg and bench 42.5kg.

Oh thanks for the anwser bud nice b8 though

I struggled wit the squat rack with a 10lb weight on each side.

>first time squatting since tramatic squat accident years back

Fuck off if you think I'm baiting, just because you're weak doesn't mean nobody else can lift more than your 40kg squat

My only embarrassing story is when I tore a gastrocnemius pushing a prowler. It was my second pass @450lb. I felt a loud pop and my knee buckled. I thought someone had actually thrown a tennis ball at the back of my knee. It didn't hurt At first but I went down instantly and needed to be carried out.

Bud buddy thats not even 100 lbs

Gotta start somewhere anons

I grabbed a 5 lb plate off of a guy's barbell on a bench when he was resting. He was cool about it, but the memory always resurfaces when I'm having a good time and feel normal.

Those are OK numbers for a 55Kg girl.

thats fucking hilarious. i would have started laughing.

Good god, man. Punctuation: use it.

>struggling to lift less than 2pl8

It sure is you

If grill let's make babies

Maybe you scared off that girl, but you made me laugh.

>not being proud of who you lift for
I lift for Rihanna and I'm not ashamed of it. I would have looked everyone in the eye and just pressed the replay and continued to squat if I was you.

Lift for charli :^)

Idk if this counts as a embarrassing story but whatever
>doing negatives chinups coz weak af
>random guy comes and asks if I need help
>nope but thanks
>tells me that I need to do pushups first before trying to do chinups (?????)
>ehh ok
>he's still standing awkwardly next to me
>insists in helping me because according to him I was doing them wrong
>say no again and tell him that I'm progressing well and I'm gaining strength
>he says yeah but that's because you're just jumping into the bar
>.... explain him that I'm doing NEGATIVES chinups
>he looks confused then laughs and say "you should do some positives then xD" and leaves
He is dyel, average at best and now I see him everyday, he acts like he thinks I like him or something like that, he keeps looking at me all the time with a creepy smile and it's getting kind of annoying. Today I was benching and he came to do bicep curls right next to me and he was doing loud LOUUD noises. I didn't do my negatives today because I was afraid of his unsolicited advice

>me and my buddy doing 6 plate rack pulls
>we finish up and I just auto pilot start taking off the plates from one side
>I don't realise he's on his phone and not taking off the weights
>I remove the last plate, gravity takes over and the bar seesaws along the rack pin and catapults with simply mind blowing speed
>it smashes a bikini athlete girl in the face and breaks her nose
>she was going to compete that weekend
>quit that gym the next day
I think about this pretty much every single day since it happened

fucking absolutely disgusting bro...

What'd she say? What'd you say? Curious as hell.

If it makes you feel better it was an accident, lamenting it won't do you any good at this stage.

She was crying and screaming about how we'd ruined her show etc. Her trainer was being a bro about it saying it was an accident and all, but you could tell he was pissed. I was just completely stunned and saying sorry over and over again.

Damn, that's rough. Stop thinking about it though because you're not gonna change anything or feel better if you keep thinking about it. She probably forgives you now, she knew it was an accident.

JUST LETTING YOU KNOW YOU'RE NOT LIFTING ALONE

>Doing some pull-ups
>Cute girl near me
>On my failing set
>Struggle hard
>Fart
>Leave gym

>Go to the nearby burger place

>Pay the guy wait for my food
>He gives me the food and says:
"Enjoy"
"You too" as I set my bag of food down
"w-wait I mean" *laugh*
>Stares at me

You guys made me this way, I didn't used to be a meme.

I was checking in at the front desk and through the glass overlooking the gym saw employees putting up wet floor signs at the squat rack. Someone exploding Diarrhea'd all over the floor. Took 20m to stink up the whole gym. Saw employees trying to chase the smell out with lysol

>Go to uni gym
>Stare at ground and hand student id to receptionist
>Hands me back my id
>"Enjoy your work out!"
>Mutter "th-thanks y-you too"
>Run away slipping over spaghetti

I've done this more than once. No need to be ashamed bruh

I think eveyone has done something similar atleast once.

Pre workout is a hell of a drug

Stop acting like you Are high in Pre workout you autistic fuck

please tell me you are a guy

I was asked to not use the adduction machine due to customer complaints about my balls falling out.

You can't get 'high AF' from caffeine you autist

Check and Kek

He wants to tongue punch your fart box

M8 you're lucky you didn't kill her. Be grateful you only cost her a show and laugh at your story like I did please. It's not as funny knowing you're down about it.

You can easily play that off as a joke

Should've fugged

Not him but I never usually drink coffee or tea or soda, so when I do the caffeine makes me feel noticeably different, not high but definitely like I took drugs.

>t. Beta

Be the Taylor Swift guy now. Wear it, own it.

Own up to it man...

I once took enough caffeine to make me feel like I was good... until I started to get heart palpitations. I would say you're wrong. You can and do get high on caffeine. That's the point.

Own up to that shit, you should have made eye contact and smiled like an idiot.

>I've been training for 3 years. I squat 70kg, deadlift 87.5kg and bench 42.5kg.

?
I've been consistently working out for only two months and I'm already stronger than you
London?

Lost

I've only done yoga like, 4 times but everytime a few people fart quite loudly and no one bats an eye. I figured its a normal thing during yoga classes due to all the relaxation and such.

Funniest thing in the thread.

>scream autistically while playing female pop music

I would just laugh more
