Here I was, a skinny ass gym rookie, failing to rerack after a squat, everybody was looking

Warming up for squats in the power rack and someone left the safetys really fucking high so I came down really quick and made a huge fucking banging noise and fell over from being startled from hitting something.

Then I lowered them, tried to do some warm ups for some rows and banged them again.

Worst fucking moments I've had to experience. Gym went silent both times because you're not supposed to be loud for whatever gay reason.

Was wearing headphones for the first time in a while and the cord got caught on a handle on a machine.

As I walked by it yanked the headphones off me, knocked my glasses off and whipped my hat off across the floor.

Desu I wasn't really that offended.

If she said 'You aren't' then I would have been offended.

I think it was a joke. You have to keep in mind that the average cardio bunny instagram girl is so obsessed with appearance that she was probably actually horrified that I had risked damage to my precious precious face and risked becoming a worthless ugly person

im pretty sure she was kinda hitting on you

Did you broke something? How much did the dumbell weight?

I fucking laughed so hard but inside I was dead

Shit m8 I fugged that one up.

I have a qt314 gf now, think angela from the office but cute, so I guess it worked out.

35Lbs only, so no. It hit me in the nose.

If it was any heavier it would have been a broken nose.

Also, I failed, but I still was able to exert SOME pressure to slow it's descent so it's not like it was free fall

Shit m8 I fugged that one up. I have mild autism like the rest of you

I've hit my nose and chin on OHP
Did pullups so explosively i pulled myself past the bar and hit my head on a different one above me
Did the same pullup thing again but this time it rebounded my chin into the bar i was hanging from, splitting my chin so badly I have a scar
I tend to make a bit of noise when I exhale and once accidentally whistled
I'm known to blow air out of my lips after a set and make horse like noises
I've walked straight into a pair of Olympic rings and laughed

I'm the fucking gym dyel clown but I don't give a fuck

>Put heavy bar on cable machine
>Take out pin to adjust weights
>Bar descends and hits me in the head

This happened yesterday

I've shared this before.
I was loading a bar and I could only find one lockjaw collar so i put a spring collar on the other side. It was apparently worn to shit. I got slightly off balance, the weights all slid off, and I blasted a 5lb into a 6x8 mirror.

I moved to a hick town for work and 4/10 people in the gym at any given time are wearing some kind of hat. Hell, the main roiding PT has a winter beanie permanently glued to his head.

You finished your workout, you're allowed to go back

thats what you get for curling unironically

there are 2 15kg plates in my gym
one actually weighs ~13kg, while the other is ~17kg
idk how someone manages to fuck that up...

Ass first*

I only clean for form with an empty bar, always put weight on for jerk for this exact reason.

What's up with that pic, OP? All those those are bullshit.

i love wearing a hat to the gym, normally dont wear one if training light

gives me the same subconscious feeling as wearing a belt to help me push the last reps

Flipped a few barbells taking plates off too fast and had to dump a 180 squat in the middle of a Monday international chest day rush in my little rec gym but that's about the worst.

Not nearly as embarrassing as looking away every time I make eye contact with barely legal cardio bunnies.

Happens to everyone once.

What?

Only way to fix it is to switch dumbells and start again

Feels bruh

> Squat day

Yeah sure thing buddy

Fuck these cunts, I knew the colors weren't exactly the same.
How in the hell can they do this?

I think this might be troll versions of real ones bro

You guys have too much shame.

I've done a bunch of stupid shit in the gym. Everyone has to start somewhere and people make mistakes who gives a shit.

>Back when I first started lifting
>I could do like, 1/4 ROM squat at 2pl8
>Decide Im fuckin ready for 3pl8, go big or go home
>Unwrack the bar, start going down
>Fell right the fuck down like dead weight
>Safeties catch bar so I dont die
Luckily no one else was there, so fuck it

>Failed a 2.5pl8 squat at regular gym, BANG onto safeties
>People staring

>Hit head numerous times on Lat pulldown bar standing up after set
>Sometimes bump toe into various shit, plates/bench etc
>Fart all the time on heavy lifts. LOUD farts

The secret is to not give a fuck. Just keep lifting, you didnt go to the gym for anyone else except yourself.

>he didnt think there was a problem with any of the others

why did you say 4/10 instead of 2/5?

yer right
most of A is #737373, most of B is #7c7c7c

>last set of squats
>feeling exhausted, last set was already slow
>pump myself up
>put hands on bar, pull myself towards bar
>don't put my head down far enough, smack my head on the bar
>do my 5 reps as fast as possible, before the concussion sets in and I feint and die from the barbell crushing me
>probably my best set of the day

not that guy but it's more precise, like 2.0 vs 2

I'm disappointed the story didn't end with you befriending the jocks and becoming their fuccboi

>didn't know how to use deadlift rack
>picked barbell up at end of sets and struggled to place it into the rack while people watched

Remember that day every time I do deadlifts

>mfw I feel like I just got abused, and taken advantage of by some stupid image

lmfao all that happened to you? kekked hard on the machine gun part

>carry the plate back to the rack with weak, limping strides under a feigned air of nonchalance
wew boi i've been there

>>Unwrack the bar, start going down
>>Fell right the fuck down like dead weight
>>Safeties catch bar so I dont die
I'm getting close to 3pl8 and i am fucking afraid of this

I wish my biceps got sore, nothing I do Makes them hurt the next day

Do your regular workout then add 5*10 slow as fuck chinups

>PT tells me not to drop weights
