most embarrassing thing you've done in the gym?...

This one was when I was a kid maybe 12 years old. My dad took me to the YMCA and I would lift with him for half an hour or so then go upstairs and play. He was alone benching and said he'd come get me if he needed a spot. After a bit I went downstairs and there he was on the bench with 265 sitting on his chest. Apparently he'd been there for a minute or two. I was a little panicked and ran over and tried to yank it off him, all 75 pounds of me. It didn't even budge. Well, the old man says take some plates off, but in my state of semi-panick I heard take the plates off, so I grabbed all 4 plates on 1 side (2 45's and 2 tens) and pulled them off all at one time. It was pretty epic. It catapulted out of his hands and took out a whole row of drop tile ceiling tiles. I was dumbfounded. The old man jumped up like a jackrabbit, pissed as hell and asks me what the f**k was I thinking, then a moment of silence and he starts laughing. Whole thing scared the **** out of me. Then I got pissed and he started laughing at me. Luckily we were the only two people in the gym at the time.

I was once benching and warming up and had 225lbs on the rack. I added a 25lbs plate to one side then got caught up in a conversation with someone and then jumped on the bench without realizing a quarter was missing on one side. Needless to say, I unracked the weight and all hell broke loose. I was all wobbly and the weight almost came crashing down due to the instability. Luckily I got the weight back to the rack safely. Thinking back, I could've seriously injured myself.
 
I feel I could post for over 95% of the internet right now. The **** I see at the gym...

As for myself, I remember having just sat down on one of the benches at the jungle gym machine, as I call it, to do seated rows with a wide hammer-grip bar. God knows where my head was, I retracted my elbows to bring the bar towards my chest, but I hadn't extended my legs yet, so I pull the bar right into the funny bone of my knees. Made me scream so loud and practically having a seizure.

EDIT: oh actually the post above reminded me of a moment a couple years back when I first started lifting, and I would explode the bar up (more than I do now, even). I was doing incline bench, starting a warmup set, and on my way up I accidentally hit the bottom of one of the uprights so hard the bar bounced and hit me on the head, practically knocking me out.
 
I was doing situos today and sat down too fast and too far back and just cracked my head on the wall. Of course I acted like nothing happened because there were hot girls near me

doing 700 pound leg press and i thought i had to fart,,, well i ended up sharting.... not cool. 100% truth right there.... thank god it was only me a my buddy in the gym and the owner. whoops
 
After doing deadlifts, i felt like I was going to throw up, so I went to the bathroom.
I ended up throwing up but while I was, I sharded!!!

Worst feeling ever, especially since I was not done with my workout :/
 
Did a set of deadlifts, went to drink some water and sort of coughed and spit water all over the floor, just missing this woman's purse. Which is good because her bf was a pretty big guy lol.
 
When I first started lifting WAY back when, I weighed about 142lbs. I was lean and all thighs from racing bicycles but had NO chest.

I had a good chest day one week and hit 185 on bench for 7-9 reps and did not need my spotter. So, the following week I was by myself and unracked 185 alone. I stuck after the 2nd or 3rd rep and it ended up on my chest. I rested for a sec and rolled it down to my waist. Yeah, it hurt. Some guy came by and helped me from there. He was cool about it and laughed saying he had done similar.

I would have gotten away with if not for those pesky kids!
 
Leg pressing 12 plates each side for 10. Took off the 12th plate on the right side, without taking any on the left (post set haze) and the entire machine crashed over. People laughed but not so much considering there was only one thee dude in the gym capable of doing what I just did, and he was the one that came over and helped me out to get it pushed back over. He wasn't even phased. Stuff happens when your going heavy
 
2 embarrassing things

1. First is I always catch my headphones on a dumbell or bar and the go to walk away Md have them flung from my ears.

2. I have twice had my shaker cup be full of water and get knocked over, crack open and have water and plastic bits all over.
 
I finally topped myself, when I hit legs I go commando because I hate having my underwear ride up on me. I was doing front squats last week in an older pair of shorts, went down low and my shorts split. At first I considered finishing the set as I was still early in the workout, then I remembered I wasn't wearing underwear so I akwardly shuffled over to the locker room.
 
Luckily I have my own home gym and this is where it happened. One of my guys was gonna do a conditioning workout after practice and I was setting up for him. Turned the treadmill on and was going to see what speed to set it at in his log and I stepped right on the damn treadmill. Saw it happening in slow motion but couldn't stop myself. Luckily I just got skinned up and twisted my knee a little. They were slack jawed. I shot off the back like my ass was in a slingshot.
 
My ex sent me a dirty pic on my phone already know I was horney, and a hard on...the next 30 mins I had left at the gym werent akward at all fml
 
I work out at home, in my garage (made from pressed asbestos concrete sheets on a steel frame). There I am bench pressing - alone.

It's going well - so I up the weight and go all out. Completely miss the rep and end up having to tip the plates of one end of the bar, which roll across the floor and THROUGH the wall!

So my workout is cut short by a trip to the hardware store to pick up some wood and some glue to fix the garage!
 
lol just last thursday i saw a bench with 185 pounds on it n i wanted to show off in front of this girl who was on the eliptical, when i layed on the bench i didnt realize that the other 25 pound plate wasnt racked on n i lfted it with full force makin my balance uncontrolable n my legs lifted up as i tried to rack it back n i was swerving
 
Well, yesterday I was doing an overhead cable row for rear delt work and getting pumped for the last set. I had a good dubstep mix on and the beat was just about to drop. i did one rep and one earbud came out and I proceeded to drop the cable and fix my headphones. Not really embarrasing, just being a schmuck.

Embarrising story #1: I always eat whole food post-workout. I'm also known for having my own chair outside where I greet people walking in while I eat on nice days. One day a guy and this SMOKING HOT woman come in from Gaspari looking to promote to the gym owner. I had a forkfull of yams in my mouth and the whole thing dropped when I saw her and she said Hello. Of course, I whimpishly reply "H--h-hi." Like a 14 year old boy seeing his first set of tits. Some impression I made.

Embarrasing story #2: I can see this girl eyeing me down at the gym. I've also noticed she's been a little more consisntent with being there when I'm there... what a coincidence? At the time my roommate was my lifting partner and I'm going off about the barbarian things I would do to her. I'm flat DB benching with 110's and he says "Dude, she's 16." and I dropped both onto my chest. Now im on the ground laughing hysterically and crying because it hurts.
 
Ok, here goes...

1- At my old gym they had a wide grip pull down bar basically made of iron, bar alone weighed 25lbs. I had it on the high cable and went to increase the weight. I bent over and pulled the pin out of the stack and the bar came crashing down on the back of my head like an ****in guillotine. After I regain my senses the whole gym is looking at me and several people are approaching asking if I'm Ok. I look over and see the gym owner laughing his ass off at me...

2- My old-old gym had an indoor track and cardio equipment on the upper level. I'm up there on the treadmill at a brisk 8.5. I look down to gawk at a hot broad walking into the gym and totally lose my stride. I fall onto the tread and get smeared and launched off of the end of the belt. I think I could smell my own flesh burning.

3- I've farted, sharted and had many random boners. I just deal with each situation as it presents itself.
