So I'm hoping to feel a bit better about what just happened to me by hearing some of your awkward/embarrassing stories.
Anyway, here's mine.
>About to take a pre-workout shit when I remember seeing a photo about the most efficient way to poo. >It basically says that you're supposed to shit in a squatting position rather than a sitting one as it opens your bowels more >Pull up a stool (see pic related) put my feet up on it and squat over the toilet >Mid shit and the door opens, I must have forgotten to lock it >It's one of the PTs >She slams the door shut and I can here her saying "what the fuck" as she walks away >Almost fall off my stool from shock
I left without doing my workout and as I walked past the reception desk the guy PT says "those stools are for sitting on, mate"
I've never been this embarrassed, guys. What do I do?
This happened like two weeks ago >Be me >scrawny af. >Benching 105 >too heavy, idk if tired or just being weak >Can't lift it >do the roll thing >Continue workout. red faced
v sad

I just shrug it off.

Dominic Howard
>some dyel squatting lmao1pl8 >decide it's time to assert dominance on new york fags >"hey bro mind if I work in?" >he agrees >do the good old OHP trick, as in I'd press what he's squatting to impress him >take the weight >it's fucking heavy holy shit >start pressing >get stuck halfway >bend back backwards to make it easier >fall on your back, the weight on top of you >"yo man are you ok!?" >the fall pushed all air out of my lungs >squeeze out the words "e-explosive set" sounding like a fucking dying mouse >start benchpressing on the ground while trying to draw for breath >sit up and roll the bar away >"t-thanks bro see you later" still with a squeezy voice while breathing heavy and walk away
Michael Mitchell
>Laugh it off This.
I'm a massive autist but I'm not going to let all the embarrassing shit I do hold me down.
Jaxon Torres
>be me >6'7 >toilet's too small >always squatting when pooing
Samuel Rogers
>be me > 5'3 >toilets too big >legs never reach the floor why I haven't yet killed myself is a total mystery
Asher Carter
Why are there even stools for sitting near a toilet?
Luke Nelson
to put your legs up fool
Christopher Lewis
> the guy PT says "those stools are for sitting on, mate" Didn't sound like it
Jaxson Hall
oh ask him then
John Ramirez
If you go take a workout shit with your brehs it'd be awkward if they were all just standing there while you were sitting
Benjamin Watson
>at muay thai gym right before training starts >pissing into the toilet >reach for the flush >accidentally shove my handwraps that l had laid on the toilet tank >hanwrap falls exactly into the piss water of the toilet >mfw
Cameron Perry
>mfw he doesn't know what a squatty potty is
it's like you're stuck shitting in the 20th century, pleb.
Caleb Lewis
Just squat on the fucking toilet I've been doing that since I was a kid
Adam Murphy
The toilet can break, don't do this.
Carson Lopez
How the fuck is a toilet going to break
Hudson Powell
>fall off my stool
Carson Myers
Because most western toilets weren't designed to handle a weight distribution like that, this can cause the toilet to break, which can leave some nasty injuries.
Austin Martin
Please NEVER stand or squat on a western-style toilet
Every time you do that you weaken the toilet a little further
it's a countdown to your own anal destruction and only you are to blame
Matthew Williams
>benchpressing on the ground Heh made me chortle
Carson Fisher
>the plot thickens
Sebastian Cruz
>needing a steel toilet with a 300kg weight limit
Xavier Williams
This thread is awesom
Robert Young

Wyatt Sullivan
who the fuck eats cat litter
Ayden Myers
ok fat boy...
Ethan Allen
cat's dumbass
Samuel Anderson
Ask him if he wants to sit with you next time you shit then?
Gavin Parker
When I was just starting out I had to roll for 40lbs while the weightlifting room was full of people. It took a lot to get me to go back the next day.
Brandon Wright
I've had 4 cats and never once seen one eat cat litter.
Austin Nguyen
What's the roll thing?
Samuel Hughes
It happens when they get anemia,,, or when their kidneys fail and they need iron.... the minerals in the clay litter have iron.
>I had to switch to corn cob litter with my geezer cat.
William Flores
>be me >doing wide grip pullups >last set >last rep >keep myself pulled up for as long as my arms/back/hands will hold >let go of the bar instead of lowering myself down >fall >let my knees buckle to avoid the shock >land softly in a squatting position >nice >something upsets my balance >sway like a cartoon character >tip over onto my back
embarrassing desu
Nathan Moore
> years ago got a free 2 week pass to Ballys fitness. I was in highschool and worked out everyother day in a gym class. Go to bench press at Bally's and 185lb of weights fly off the bar and make a huge noise that basically stops the aerobics class 30 feet from me. Everyone looking at me, trainers hurdling equipment running to me. Seems that in my highschool gym the olympic bars were rusty & old and we never needed and clips to hold on weights, while Bally's bars were new and polished.
Justin Gray
>"e-explosive set"
Serious keks.
William Wood
Failing to do a final rep, not being able to rerack the bar, and looking like an idiot with your face turning red trying to force it up, then giving up and dropping it onto your chest, before rolling it down so that you can get up and rerack it.
People always watch.
Noah Smith
Why would you gym have those in a bathroom stall? This makes no sense.
My story >Benching too much weight >Can't lift it >Struggling >Turn it to one side to slide weights off >Weights fall off and the barbell catapults the other way (weight is only on one side) >Gym comes to a dead stop >Not sure what to do so I say to the guy on the bench next to me >"THANKS FOR THE SPOT BRO" >Blamed this guy but never even asked him for a spot >Walked away pissed off but actually embarassed
Luckily I'm an LA Fitness member with multi-club access. Started going to a different location after that
Leo Harris
>Blaming the guy next to you
Ian Taylor
He got in shit for doing that though. His gym is retarded. He's an autist. And he might as well shoot up the whole place
Lucas Adams
>Not saving it by just starting a front squat once you realize it's too heavy
Austin Williams
>first time dumbbell press >get too cocky with weights >flailing tube man arms >drop 30 on face >other on stomach >rolls onto nuts >audible REEE >gym bros rush over >anxiety and autism kick in >rerack >trip over bench >scurry like a cat out
Noah Ortiz
Ask for a spot, mate. Don't be afraid to. We all start like that.
Jack Lopez

Luis Morales
death 2 you
Kevin Collins
fucking lol
plz put me in screenshot
Eli Jackson
>Guy finishes using power rack after doing shrugs >Go to set it up for squating >Barbell is sitting on the safety pins >see a 45 on each side, Know i can power clean that with ease >clean it >Turns out there was a 25 on one side so the barbell weight was completely uneven >on right fall off and recoil to back to the left to knock off other side >Would of been embarrassed but i didnt really care >Who loads bars unevenly for shrugs?
I continued to just do my work out and still used that gym plenty of times after that, everyone makes mistakes, everyone is human.
Austin Perry
>go to small local gym >only one powercage >want to do OHP but it's occupied >look around if there's a machine equivalent >see something that looks like it can work >do the OHP the best I can >later find out it was a standing calf-raise machine
Hudson Thomas
>everyone is human. >laughingpianoman.jpg
Wyatt Wright
>just started lifting >Incline db press with way too much weight >Shoulder dislocates! >Incredibly painful >Gym employee says thats what happens when you use too much weight
Brody Bailey
My friend did that on shoulder press
Nicholas Jackson
Nothing wrong with using a stool, but that is a towel table you disgusting fuck.
Luke Stewart

Brayden Jones
Wait, what was a girl doing in the men's room? Did I miss something?
Hunter Brown
You missed the panties and girly shorts on the floor

Just say fuck them OP. I generally avoid the 'alpha, beta' mindset that the fitness community has because I think it's horse shit. But this is a situation where I'd say you have to be alpha. FUCK what they think. Be proud every time you see them. Become better and focus on you OP. They won't be able to talk shit when you improve your lifts and become stronger than them. They can't laugh down someone who has a stronger mind than they do.
tldr; just do you op. fuck their opinion.
Jeremiah Stewart
>tfw you attempt to move up in weight with the dumbell shoulder press and you can't even get into position. >Go get the next lightest set of dumbells >Do a set of 10 with relative ease.
Why is getting into position with dumbell shoulders so hard? I literally lightly panic right before I attempt it even if it's just the 25kg ones or some shit.
Grayson Gonzalez
Very fancy toilet paper dispenser, I like it a lot. A LOT
Jeremiah Moore
taking your underwear off makes it easier to spread your legs/cheeks whilst shitting, plus being completely naked feels more relaxing in general
Easton Hill
It's better to keep your legs together so you can tilt your pelvis better and tighten that core
William Thomas
Op here.
I try to act normal and fit in, but stuff like this always seems to happen to me. What is wrong with me? :(
Hudson Barnes
For sitting while changing socks/shoes
Ryder Allen
you're not normal, don't try to fit in. Don't try to be anything you aren't. Can you name one interesting person from history that was normal? No you can't
Thomas Hall
Happens to me everytime I bench with no spot. Don't sweat it and don't be afraid to ask for help. There are people who wouldn't mind, especially if they wanna use the bench next and want you off it asap
Caleb Kelly
>Happens to me everytime I bench with no spot. Is that something you should aim for? Seems dangerous
