So /fit,what embarrassing moments have you had at the gym?
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
>Try to sit down to do incline bench press
>Smash the back of my head into the bar because it's on the lower peg
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

>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
fuck those guys. Pay them no mind. You have what it takes to make it, and you won't let two assholes stop you.
lol, i sort of do this. If i walk into a gym and see that all squat racks, bench presses, pull up bars, and barbells are taken I just walk out and drive to the next gym.
That really sucks. I always tell people that sort of stuff doesn't really happen but I know sometimes it does. People are assholes.
fuck them user. keep doing your thing.

More like 5 years ago,but sure,picture me as a 16 year old. Whatever floats your boat boss.
You could have totally maximised on that opportunity and laughed it off. It shows you actually have a sense of humour and don't take yourself so seriously like a typical 'gym rat'.
>"Now that I've made a good impression, how's it goin?"
That easy. My gf would find that funny and if a girl can't appreciate my stupid sense of humor then I won't waste my time on her
...
Was doing bb rows. Second rep I went to breathe out and a hard booger flew out of my nose. It was big and greenwhite. Pretty sure the guy next to me saw it. I casually stepped on it.

How the fuck do you guys workout if you can do your 5 or whatnot sets of pullups in 5 minutes?
do one set takes at least half a minute and i rest around 30 seconds each set so that barely fits, i doubt you can do it.
My fucking shoulders take nearly 20 minutes.
You deserve it for being fat.
>"Now that I've made a good impression, how's it goin?"
okay but what do i say after this
>amberlamps
kek
next time they pull that shit, flash your dick.
when they act shocked, call them out on their selfie crap.
And also, fuck'em.
You got started, user, you've already done better than 80% of the population, keep going.
Whatever the developing conversation dictates. She would probably reply with something with "good how are you" and then you'd joke about how other than tripping in the barbell for everyone in the gym to see, you're feeling good. And you mention how you're in town for whatever, and work into the conversation a question about meeting up later to do something

H-heh.
This can't go on. there's some guy at my gym who I only ever see using the rowing machine.
Every single fucking time the guy pushes he loudly grunts "Yeah baby!"
Fuck its so annoying! imagine how many "yeah baby"s there are in a 2000 meter row. I've started bringing headphones so I don't have to listen to this borderline sex pest
don't take it personally bro, use it to drive you don't let them push you out. It's like the punk test. In the gym you'll run into the coolest people or the worst, just the way it is.
Is he by chance Austin powers?
this si the winner.

Be thankful that no one decided to insert the mandatory gym squat plug into your exposed asshole.
how do you fuck yourself up doing dumbbell curls my man?
I tightened my glutes too hard plus I didn't stretch.
what were your stats back then age height and whatnot
Was last month. 145 lbs 5'2" 22 yrs old
i fell for the "tip the receptionist" meme. i decided to start working out last month and before that I made a thread on Veeky Forums asking about gym etiquette. everyone said to tip the receptionist and i did just that, after i finished the tour and I finished signing up I left a $5 bill on the desk. she and the other guy at the front desk looked at me very confusedly, and when I explained it was a tip she said "uhhh... we don't take tips," then they giggled amongst each other like the retarded teenagers that they are. that's when i realized i'd been memed by you faggots. i haven't gone back even once out of embarrassment, and I signed up for a 3 month pass.
fuck all of you.
This would work well. Especially if you landed right in front of her and were still sitting on the floor as you say it.
If that embarrasses you into quitting, you weren't going to make it anyway.
God damn it, user. Just go back. You're the "tip guy". Just enjoy being the tip guy. Go in, do your work out, if the same receptionist is there, make a joke about it on the way out. People seriously don't care.
>lat pull-down machine
>pull bar directly onto my head
>people watched it happen
Man I don't like fatties but that's just cruel
KEK
I had a similar thing where I was doing face pulls and hit myself in the forehead with the middle iron part between the rope ends, had a red circle for the whole workout.
Brah...I get second hand embarassed real fucking easy and your story did nothing to me. Its literally nothing.

tfw
whip off your shirt and start doing model pose selfies in front of them...
I've had two pairs of boxers split up the middle so far. Luckily my basketball shorts still remain intact
Doing chin ups in the gym yesterday, get a bit overzealous. Thing is designed weirdly, pull myself and smash my head on this other bar, notable clang on the metal I could hear through my headphones. Fml
Another one, I was subconsciously singing busta rhymes while doing pulldowns with my headphones in, singing break yo neck nigga, turn around and black gym employee just staring at me
>>Sit in a 3x8 bathroom
Try 5x5 next time
She probably thought it was cute.
>Suddenly THAT guy walks in
>Longpants, hoodie, earbuds
>Fucking EARBUDS in a gym that already blasts music
I don't wesr that myself but whats the fucking problem with that exactly? Are you autism?
empathy
She was probably laughing because she thought it was cute if she was into you. You should have just got up and thought of something clever related to your fall to say when you got to her like "I really fell for you"
YEAH BABY. YEAH. BABY. YEAH BABY YEAH BABY. . YEAH BABY. . YEAH BABY YEAH... BABY YEAH BABY. . YEAH BABY YEAH BABY
Hold on, how criminal are we talking about ? Story ?

And you and your beta gay cocksucking cumswallowing boyfriend better STOP throwing glances at me while I workout out or get ready to get your shit handled to you both you fucking brosplitting dyel motherfucker
You sound autistic. Why would you switch bars if you're doing exercises back to back?
FUCK I took the bait. Fuck you.
>summer
Everything in my body is telling me to ignore you but the preworkout is flowing and I'm being held back from the gym for a formation so go fuck yourself. You're too tubby to have an opinion.
