What's your most awkward moment at the gym?
Autistically liftong and putting down weights in the same place 6 days a week alone
>>35750425
I walked into the locker room to some guy shitting in the shower.
>>35750425
I threw up at the YMCA after going way too hard on some lower back raises with a plate. Woke up to some 60 year old leather bag of a woman telling me that the blood of christ was going to wash away the demons.
Don't think I ever went back there.

>Book in for the owner of the gym (also a trainer) to take me through the basics
>Eat huge breakfast before gym because muh nutrition
>Working out with trainer when I start to feel sick
>Embarrassed to say anything and afraid to appear weak so I keep working out pushing it way too hard
>Finally, I'm feeling really ill and rush to the bathroom
>Simultaneously projectile vomit and explosive diarrhea
>Panic mode!
>I need to contain this but I can't have my head and my anus in the toilet bowl at the same time
>Spin around like a garden sprinkler spraying the cubicle with vomit and shit
>Spend the next 30 minutes cleaning up when my training talks to me through the door...
After that I thought I would be too embarrassed to ever show my face again but I resisted the urge to quit. Now I'm 19 and lifting an acceptable amount. I think the owner of the gym is still surprised I stuck with it.
>>35750425
Gym owner caught me railing the front desk girl in the women's locker room after hours.

>>35750756
Don't worry bruh
Just say no-homo now and it will all be fine
>>35750751
I would love to fuck the front desk chick at my gym. I feel as if they would be desensitized to gains though.
>>35750465

>>35750751
high five bro I did that at work
>>35750858
Same here bro. The one who works in the morning is a cute little thing, but I'm far from the best looking dude there.
Feels bad man :(

>dude that doesnt spot people is staring at me in the mirror like a fucking weirdo
>just ignore him and go on with my lifting
ive definitely had days where my routine followed people around for 4 or 5 exercises too, but i still think getting shot down for a spot was the most awkward shit ive ever experienced at the gym.

Maybe he was concerned that he wouldn't be able to lift it off you if you failed?
Still a weird way to say it...
>>35751120
kek
He's sussing out the competition bruh
>>35751145
I've done that on bench before
>My right side feels way stronger than my left side today...
>>35750465
This is my biggest fear whenever I'm about to squat.
Not really embarrassing for me but embarrassing none the less
>Benching
>80kg loaded on bench made up of a 20kg and 10kg plate on each side
>Unrack weight
>HolyShitSomething'sWrong.jpg
>Feel the right side of the bar become a lot lighter

>This weird 50yo borderline anorexic woman is standing there with the 10kg plate from the right side of my bar
>She's completely immersed in her music and doesn't realize what she's done
>Lose my temper and yell
>"EXCUSE ME! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!"
>She goes into full spaghetti mode, drops the plate and rushes back to the cardio area as fast as her knobbly little knees can carry her
>People looking at her and me but most of the people there are bros and can see what's happened
>Haven't seen her since
I feel pretty bad for yelling at her but how oblivious can you get? Did she not wonder why the peg she was pulling the weight off was moving?
>>35751263
he was bigger than me, just a fucking weirdo.
>adjusting the rack height for squats and making them uneven
> not realizing they are uneven until i put the bar on the rack
>squatting, skelly wants to work in
>he's doing 1pl8 front squat, whatever
>wait, why's he wrapping straps around the bar?
>he's front squatting not holding the bar, he's holding the straps he attached to it and dangling the bar
>straps obviously slip, no grip
>bar flips sideways, kid hit in face with plate
>he awkwardly puts the bar back and leaves
>>35751291
Thank God I'm not the only one. I've done it deadlifting and squatting. Now I check the weights twice and I'm sure I look like a total autist.
>>35751396
Wow.
>>35751120
He's measuring your grip strength
>>35751396
So, what WAS she doing? "Helping" you unrack weight, I don't understand?
>>35751046
Are you black? Maybe he was a racist.
>>35751120
Was he bigger than you? Maybe he thought you were a sad cunt and was trying to give you some inspo to keep going
>>35751542
she was grabbing a weight for her own use- from the bar he was using at the time
>>35750465
Have you tried a thicker lifting plug?
>>35751120
maybe he was a /fit/izen and was hoping you'd be his new gymbro. you failed to reciprocate and broke his dreams, did he an hero?
>>35750465
>squatting while gassy
>hit the bottom and feel your asshole open up just a bit
>not a full fart, but a little wind escaping
am I the only one?
First time in a gym in a couple years... I literally passed out on the floor. I sat down, and then apparently just fell forward onto my face. I must not have been out for very long because nobody even noticed.
>>35751092
Damn dude I wish I could be as grossly incandescent as he is.
>>35751542
She was doing shrugs over in the cardio area. Obviously these shrugs were more important than my bench press.
>>35750425
some old guy was being a dick when I was checking my phone (it has my routine/lifts on it), implying I was wasting time (I was resting after a set)
so for some reason, shy me just snapped.
I started yelling at him, saying that I was just resting and looking at my phone. I said if he wanted to use the equipment, all he had to do was say "hey, mind if I work in?"
"but no, you had to act like a fucking child. how old are you?" (this guy was at least 40-50.)
on that day, my balls grew a few sizes. im usually quiet. funny thing is i've seen him again recently and he looks like shit, while ive made big progress. karma, I guess.
>>35751505
I think when you get in the rhythm, you can easily make that mistake and only put up the weight on one side. I always get distracted while listening to music.
>>35751464
lel, serves him right for being a strap using faggot.
Almost passed out after the press today, face went completely white haha
>>35750720
Good job anon
>>35751046
Maybe he thought you were asking for homo sex
>>35752686
Well of course he's going to look like shit compared to you. The cunt's 50 years old!
>>35752815
i've seen people his age in shape, no excuses
this guy is a bag of shit that has an attitude and uses his mouth more than his arms to lift shit.
people like him should jump off a bridge.
>>35751396
>>35751396
Youve coulve use it as an opening. She dropping her spaguetti and you the chill guy that didnt make much of it. But instead you scared her off.

One time a guy asked me to spot him but I had my earbuds in so I was like "what?" and he had to repeat. Than I spotted him and everything went well.
>>35751573
That is fucking racist. What if he is white but the guy who didn't want to spot was black?
Around here it's usually the blacks who are racist.

And that's the only time I ever talked to anyone in my gym.
>>35754004
This is why I never ask newfags for a spot. You never know how it'll turn out.
>>35754004
Conversations at the gym:
"Hi" to the front desk girl
"How many sets do you have left?"
"Can I get a spot?"
"Are you still using that?"
"Bye" to front desk girl
>>35751145
>>35751291

Now I pay more attention to the shit I'm doing.
Other stuff I've done due to not paying attention, includes

>the 10 falls to the ground
>proceeds to take a tour of the gym
>almost rolling into several people
>"Heads up, got a rouge 10!"

Being absent-minded in the gym, not even once.
>Those guys with like, zero bodyfat and where those fucking tank-tops with arm holes so big they end at the waist line
Nigger, that shit is awkward, you may as well just come to the gym shirtless brotherdude
>>35752700
I know that feel mane. Was going for a single on ohp, forgot to breathe in before lift, decided "fuck it, i can do this", complete lift, drop bar, collapse into wall, barely dodge plate rack, lay on floor flailing arms weirdly, couldnt control them
>>35754198

That was the longest workout in my life, weirdly enough my friend said that after I fell and he laughed a lot his nervousness about being in the gym went away and he started to feel less uncomfortable in it.
I spent the rest of my vacation lifting there with my friend and even talked to some of the big dudes there. They were super friendly about my accident a shared a lot of their gym fuck ups with me.
Nice summer.

Nah anon, she definitely pulled the plate off of the bar. She was literally stealing my gains.

Not me but I've seen a bunch of NYRs doing the newfag shuffle where they just watch the strongest lifters in the gym and then try to copy that routine but with baby weights.
Other than that saying "y-you too" to the receptionist when she tells me to have a nice workout.
I once farted extremely loud on my final dl rep in front of two hot girls.

Worth adding that while it might be good to just double-check with a doctor, this is unlikely to be a sign of anything serious.
I've fainted at the gym before, and when I saw a doctor, I was given all sorts of tests to see if I had anything wrong, but nothing was found.
AC wasn't working the day it happened and I'd had a bit of a heavy night beforehand, so was probably just de-hydrated (rookie mistake).
Plenty of guys go to feel faint/throw up at the gym. Like me, it's normally a combination of ego-lifting, not drinking enough water, and a warm day.
>>35755396
Haha, fucking hell dude. I wouldn't think twice if someone paused their squatting and stood upright for a few minutes, but atg, I'd probably check you were OK too.

>No ones around so I take my time. Hang a bit, raise the chest a few times, couple negative pull ups to warm up
>Suddenly 4 people standing around me, clapping and saying "you can do it man! go for it!". Busy gym, some people looking at what the noise is.
>Big scene as I'm trying to warm up
>Nervous, try and bust out my pull ups full on
>Get 3 before the pain in my arm drops me.
Holy fuck that was embarrassing. Anything I could have said then would have looked like excuses. Just thanked them for the support and moved on.

Same situation bro, super fucking out of shape and weak as fuck.
Started out at 210 6ft 1". I went for a little while and it was very fucking awkward and embarrassing. There's only a tiny ass free weight section, and it's always a bunch of huge ass roided up dudes.
Got a friend who was a personal trainer show me proper form, and bought some stuff for home. Still can't lift worth a shit, but i'm getting a bit better. At 100lb squat (could probably do more, but waiting on some safeties before i get carried away), 70lb OHP, 70lb barbell curl and my highest 5 rep deadlift has been 250lb.
Anyway, what i'm getting at is i know those feels. Sucks. I took the pussy way out, by doing it in the comfort of my home.
