I was pretty embarrassed for them. Started lifting regularly not to long after, don't go with them at all because they lift baby weight with zero to little progression.

Nothing much, just ended up spraying out a ton of diarrhea onto the floor when I was at at the lowest point of my squat.

And people like you are the reason they invented the squat plug.

>things that never happened

>walk into gym
>try doing 225 bench for 8 reps
>only get 7
>me and my chad friends laughed for days about that one

...

This story is certainly embarrassing on your part.

It "could" happen. A lot of people who go to the gym are bitches.

I started at 1 plate ohp for example in my homegym which you see tons of people on this site under or wishing they could get. Some normal people start high as fuck on squats. And a lot of people have sports backgrounds.

Did it happen? No, probably not.

Though if I ever hit 3 plate bench I'm going in a gym for the first time and pretending it's my first time lifting to anyone I go with.

They couldn't bench 1pl8.
They didn't even do squats or deads.
Most of what they did was on machines.
Never saw them grab a dumbbell over 40lbs.

My friends are little girls in man sized bodies.

my only embarassing gym story is my only gym story

>17, aushwitz mode because suicidal depression, want to start working out
>no idea what i'm doing so my dad gets me a membership to his gym and pays the somoan gym owner who is also a PT and competetive bodybuilder to give me a routine and show me how to do shit.
>guy wants me there at 8am and to do 15 min of cardio warmup
>at this stage in my life i had horrible social anxiety and depression and it made me not be able to eat, not eating makes me nauseous
>wake up really early can't eat, go to gym, somoan bro shows me how to do shit
>cant finish my sets, have to break every other minute so i won't puke
>near the end of the workout he's talking to me about muscle fibers or some shit, only concentrating on not puking
>eventually the nausea is too much and i run out of the gym and puke in the bushes outside
>call my dad to pick me up, somoanbro gives me a pat on the back and a look of pity and hands me my routine schedule as well as diet info
>can't even look up just say thanks and hobble to the truck

i gave up on lifting then because i always felt like absolute shit and couldnt do any physical exercise. but a year later i got motivated again and started accumulating home gym equipment once i got a job.

>like to warm up for legs with 5 mins on stair master
>2 stair masters located in the middle of cardio area. Left is free, right has qt on it
>super pumped for squats. Music blaring, pep in my step, want to get the warmup over with so I can start
>jog the last 20 feet or so, don't want anyone to snipe it
>go to jump on it, as I'm mid air I hear a scream "No!" over my music
>it was broken but had no sign. Stairs had 0 resistance, as soon as my foot landed on the first step it just spun wildly
>legs fly out behind me, torso/face bash off of the free spinning stairs and I fly backwards
>take out my ear buds and there's a cardio room full of hot girls and a few guys laughing their asses off
>qt beside me in tears she's laughing so hard
>"omg are you okay? I tried to warn you but you were too fast and couldn't hear me"
>"haha ya that''s what I get for doing cardio"

She calls me Stair Master now.

ripped a loud fart squattin

fuck i can't wait to get huge
i want to curl a 100lb dumbell i'm at 60lbs right now

got me

I can curl an 80 pound dumbbell. But I don't do it enough to gain benefits. My arms are shit.

Conversely, I'm at 100 pounds added for chinups and hoping that gets my biceps big. It hasn't yet. My lats are also shit. Genetic dead end

not most embarrassing, but happened today

>Finish lifts and accessories for the day
>drag my ass to the ergs to do some rowing, tryna get some cardio
>20 second "sprints", 40 second rests
>go upstairs, 3 ergs near windows with nice view
>grill on one, leave an empty space and grab the next one.
>3rd of 4th sprint, fall out of the seat and onto the seat's track, get shirt caught
>loudly proclaim "haha WHOOPS"
>grill looks at me with disdain
>leave

I wouldve rather been crushed to death then to do that walk of shame.

lmfao
why no safety bars? i always use some safety bars
>pic related
how many negatives did you do tho?
do wide pullups, not chinups
that's not embarrassing, you worked your ass off enough to puke politely. i would have given you a highfive. but why wasn't your dad just training you?
"hey what's your number haha WHOOPS"

I guffawed

>warming up deadlifts on the platform
>someone walks up too close behind me
>get distracted and turn to look
>lose balance and topple over with the bar on top of me

>broke finger when re-racking weights
>Everyone saw
>don't scream and just hide it and leave to go to ER
It's fine now but i have a gross scar
the manager came and asked if i was suing and i said no and he gave me Half a year free

This is good pasta u even had the images and everything ready

It wasn't embarrassing, because nobody saw it, BUT, I was doing heavy rack pulls with, lmao4pl8s, and I unloaded one whole side like an idiot. So as you could imagine, the loaded side whipped off of the power rack and hit the floor, slinging the open end if the barbell clear through the drywall. I'm just glad it didnt smash one of the mirrors! So i went up there and patched the huge hole in the wall with a patch and sone sheetrock mud, like a good goyim. I'll take a picture next time if I can remember

if you can curl 80 pounds straight, with one arm despite how you look you arent a genetic dead end dude

whats you bw ?

>tried to fart but did a shart
Wasnt alot but I could feel the shit in my pants, off peak so not many people around, someone probably smelled it though.

I'm at 178 now. I did it at about 185.

My arms are shit though. And everytime I start doing a lot of curls I get tendonitis. Last time I did curls before then I was doing ez bar curls for 7-8 at 115 ish. Tendonitis.

I'll try filming a phat grip db curl at 70 pounds tomorrow so if you see it, you can see how shit I look.

>asked if I was suing
For what? America is a strange place.

sounds like it worked out well cause you and qt have something to banter off

how ?

how the fuck you get tendonitis for curling 50 kg with an EZ bar but one arm rep with a 80 lbs dumbell ?

doesnt make sence

did you curl the 80 pounds straight form ? or you just trow the weight up

Because when I curl it's at the end of a pull workout with weighted chins, rows, and ez bar hammer curls. Once I added or took curling out of the equation, my tendonitis develops or goes away.

80 pounds was just me fucking around about a month or so ago. I'll post a vid in an Iron Man mask tomorrow most likely so you can see how shit I look.

just gonna shotgun my embarrassments at you guys

>had to bail backwards squatting 1 pl8 once.. poor balance

>Discovered TP hanging out of my ass that had been there 20 minutes at least while i worked out

>multiple occasions of farting while squatting

>earbuds come unplugged, phone starts blaring sadboys

and tonight

>try to do 1 (one) crunch
>can't because weak core

>be liftan at gym, normal day
>guy doing ohp approaches me between sets, asks me to spot him
Okbro.jpg
>halfway through the set, he's struggling through the reps
>tisms kick in, decide I will help him complete his set so he doesn't drop the bar
CHOOSE YOUR ADVENTURE:
A) assist him with the weight to complete the reps
B) wait for him to reach failure and then rerack the weight for him
I choose you, option C
>YOU GOT THIS BRO, DON'T BE A PUSSY MAKE THIS WEIGHT YOUR BITCH, YOU GOT THIS MAN
>ohp guy almost dies laughing through his set and nearly drops the bar on his own head
>walk away ashamedly after his final rep and think about what I did whilst doing lat pulldowns of shame

I needed that laugh today. Thanks man.

Did you finish your workout or go home?

I got rejected by a qt at the gym.
She was really nice about it, so that's not really terrible.

Was no fap (which I’ll never do again). Was doing preacher curls. Hot ass chick comes in with perfect bubble butt ass in tight ass leggings. Goes to the bench right in front of me and starts doing one arm bent over rows using. Ass is pointed right at me. Can see everything. Cock gets hard as fuck. Shithead comes over and asks if he can split the preacher for some sets with me. Grab towel and drape it in front hoping it hides the hardon. Doggystyle Stacy notices, but pretends she doesn’t. Keeps fucking doing rows. Whore.

p.s. fuck no fap

...

I did this but instead of jumping, I kicked the bottom of the bag and managed to hit something metal inside. Almost broke my talus bone, but it was just bruised

>Be me
>Went full on autistic mode in the gym
>I weigh 285lb at the time (fat as fuck mode, in a sweater)
>finish squat workout and want to go do some grip/farmers walk
>grab 150lb dumbbell each hand
>walk back and forth in the gym
>chick is looking at me, maybe in her very early 20s, probably played high school sports or something
>keeps watching me after she is done with her sets, whatever she was doing....
>my workout is done but i want to hit legs again
>leg press is empty
>load up 100lb plate each side 8x4-5 sets
>took the weights all the way up to 455 and started to rest
>my ass sweat was on the seat and back sweat was everywhere, mind you im 280lbs....
>she comes over and mentions she was trying to get a set in but im using tooo much weights
>I'm done anyway, so start unracking and she smiles, says thanks as she would have a hard time unracking the 100lb plates each side etc......
>go and foam roll, look at her on the leg press from a distance
>w-why did she talk to me?

stopped reading here. too cringy for me

Ask qt if you can master her stairs some time

I throw down on the cycle few times a week...and all that follows.
Stretching legs in the slut vitality chamber, they got one of those dancing rails.
Lady comes in, makes sure i know she's there, asking me if her music's ok. take off headphones - yea its fine. play anything.
cont. basic workouts in the room, mirrors catch her checking me out checking her out.
gotta focus.
starts playin with my dick-brain, changes clothes right there. ready to start planning the hunt.
phone rings, she just got walked out on. dude left her and went to bar. she gets call from gurrlfriends he's mackin some young poon. She gets [words for cat noises]..assumes I'm listening and feeling sorry. Realize this is the lady from the pair practicing their dance routine at the gym, i respected that shit. Starts on "where am i gonna find another dance partner". Gotta bail. Fast. Go to Leave, she follows off the phone. I hold door and make eyecontact headin out to the street.

mfw I was trying to avoid the situation. Fuck, mad easy rebound, already damaged, could been an easy 5-7 (depending on slutty dance outfit and face2.0 magic.

i thought it would make a good prank

>Try to power clean
>Start with 10lb bumper plates so I can get the form down
>Video I watched inline stressed the importance of fast movement
>Explode up as hard as I can
>Bar flies up and smashes up into the underside of my nose
>Literal stream of blood (now that I look back I'm amazed it didn't break my nose)
>Run to restroom
>When I come back they've roped off the platform and are mopping it
>Keep walking
Only time I've ever cut a workout short for the record

i watched this happen today to a friend

>Started OHPing at uni gym in the power racks
>Return to hometown Gold's Gym over summer
>Only one shitty power rack
>Whatever, I can still OHP
>Put on some weight
>Do some explosive warmup sets
>Smash ring and pinkies into top of rack
>It was just short enough for my fingers to touch the top when extended
>Writhe on ground and have to make weird noises to avoid crying out in pain

>"haha ya that''s what I get for doing cardio"
chuckled and I am happy to hear one person on Veeky Forums doesn't have autism and is able to laugh at himself

lmao I remember doing nofap last year
I'd be staring into space between sets like normal, but I'd catch myself gazing directly at the ass of some girl 6 feet away with my bottom jaw hanging like the guy from Meshuggah. She'd clearly see me out of the corner of her eye but I didn't even care.

>first year at uni
>uni gym is small and always filled with athletes so I can't ever get a good workout there
>no big deal, got a membership for a gym around the corner from the school
>first time at this gym
>pullday.exe
>going through my workout
>only one seat for cable rows
>nobody was around it from the minute I walked in
>hop on and do some rows
>in between sets I like to keep a record of the amount of reps and weight I did on my phone
>some dude in his 50s walks up to me "are you gonna just sit there on your phone or are you gonna use this? Other people don't have time to
wait around for you"
>sperg out "y-yeah did you want to work in with me?"
>get up and let him get in a set
>nervous so I take the pin out and pretty much double the weight he had it set to so I can prove that I don't go to the gym to fuck around on my phone
>use my legs and arms to bust out 2 half assed cheat reps, slam the weight down
>turn to him and say "you know I use my phone between sets to record my weight"
>he looks at me like I'm retarded
>get up and finish the rest of my workout

I could've explained what happened better but it was definitely an embarrassing interaction. Caught me off guard because I've never had someone approach me like that at the gym

you can put the pins outside the rack you tard

you must be a really sad person to make up stories on an Algerian stamp collecting blog

>Fail a rep on the bench
>I cant see anybody near
>Proceed to tilt the bar
>Plates go down with a huge crash while I groan
>3 dudes come out the next room asking if Im ok
>autism kicks in and I finish the rest of my workout in a hurry missing all my target weihts and feeling aunxious

Im yet to see anybody struggle with rep in this gym, everybody does dumbells, light weight or asks for a spot to move half the weight for them
