I tried ego lifting for OHP today. I hit 205 for 8 reps crazy easy so loaded up the 2pl8(PR btw) and struggled for 3. On the 4th my entire body shook like I was having a seizure but I managed to get it up. People were miring hardcore and I got a few handshakes from guys I know but that 4th rep hurt my pride.

>Be fat >Working out in the gym >Guy keeps looking near my direction with his girl friend >Comes in front of my machine and procedes to take a selfie with his girl and him right in front of me >Pretty sure he took a pic of me >Keep working out, resting >Guy walks away >Turn my head as someone is kind of close to me behind my back >Same guy, same girl, another selfie or snap with my fat ass in the background.. >I was pissed, but not the type of person to start shit since I wasn't always fat and actually used to be a criminal in my 20s

Bro you can do it just keep cutting. Fuck those losers. The best revenge is living well.

Not necessarily embarrassing because nobody saw, but it hurts me on the inside
>Go to gym late because autist and don't like interacting with people, working in or waiting around >Go to gym at 10:30pm >Usually maybe 3-6 people in the entire gym >There's something like 20-30 people in there >Social anxiety overload >Don't want to walk out and look weird/beta >Immediately go to bathroom >Sit in a 3x8 bathroom for 2 and half hours until I'm sure everybody who was there originally is gone >Step out >Too tired to work out >Go home, sleep

>short on time >only have 30 min to finish whole workout >manage to get through all lifts and just have pull ups for last exercise with 5 minutes left >pretty exhausted at this point but pull ups are not as hard as previous lifts >at end of 2nd set something isnt right >suddenly feel dizzy and some pain in my stomach >start to salivate like crazy so i immediately decide to start heading my way towards restroom >too late, first step i take causes me to puke up my protein shake >brown as fuck so it looks like i was having diarrhea out of my mouth >everyone around me is watching and some laughing

Not me but one of my friends loves to tell the story
>high school weight lifting class >my friend Alex is spotting one of our DYEL classmates named Bryce >Bryce is a pasty whiteboy, maybe 5'7" and 150 pounds at most >he talks mad shit every workout, always claiming to lift to more than anyone else >he decides one day to push his body to the limit by bench pressing ~180 pounds >begins the lift >barely gets halfway through a press, simply can't handle the shear force >starts screaming "HELP ME! HELP ME!" over and over again >entire gym hears this and laughs hysterically >my bro Alex decides to finally help him out and saves his life
For the rest of high school we always gave him crap for his HELP ME moment.

Hahaha boi... you need to work on your social anxiety issues, but that gave me an honest chuckle.

probably just some grade school children. Don't let children get you down. Even adults who have that type of state of mind
