>Throw up and then fell running on a treadmill
I've probably also tripped a dozen times
>>35503890
It's the military man. As long as you didn't mangle the shit out of it you're fine.
>>35503890
Nigga if you haven't even started talking to a recruiter you're at minimum 6 months away from going to basic.

>currently enlisted in the US GAYVY
One time I joined a gym, hadn't done much physically in years. I started feeling ill so I sat down on the floor. Next thing I know, I'm coming to after having passed out and slumped forward onto my face.
I must not have been out for very long because nobody noticed.
The cord on my headphones came off while playing this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNq8Rl7uBvU
>>35503635
...you Don't jump off the box. You jump on the box. That's what makes it low impact.
>>35504013
Well golly god damn, I need to get on that
Was doing squats, nose started pouring blood.
Was doing planks, nose started pouring blood.
Was doing Pull-ups, nose started pouring blood.
Idk what's wrong with my nose.
>>35504013
>your experience is everyone's experience
Took me 4 weeks from when I first stepped inside a recruiters office to being in basic.
Don't know if it counts but I just washed my Bluetooth headphones that I apparently left in my gym shorts. There went 60$.
>>35504063
Check your blood pressure senpai.
>>35504013
Depends totally on the MOS or whatever it is you call it that you pick.
Took me about the same. Picked army nurse.
>>35504054
Yup.
And cheeki breeki
Be sure to have a rate / MOS / job in mind before you go to the recruiters. And if you're a dumb ass, study for the easy as piss ASVAB so you can get a high score so all the jobs will be available to you.
Most of the branches websites have all of their rates / MOS's / jobs listed on there for potential recruits. Understand that recruiters have quotas to fill, and if you don't have any clue as to what you want to do than they will throw you in some shit job that the military big wigs say they need more of.
Keep exercising, do your cardio, do your push ups, sit ups, pull ups, and for fuck's sake if you can't swim start learning now.
And if anyone else wants joining the welfare queen services just ask, I'm going to be here for a bit.

>>35504135
1.no
2.Army, Cav Scout
3.see #2, might be where we differ.
>>35504189
>cav scout
Neat. Question though, why are there so many autists in the regular army ranks? I thought the marines were going to be full of them when I joined, but most of them are just dudebros. Army on the other hand, boy howdy, not to say I haven't met cool army folk, it's just a lot of em are autistically inclined
>>35503890
Fuck man, same shit happened to 2 years. Got middle and ring finger grinded and ring finger still looks fucked, not noticeable though.
>>35504220
All soldiers are dumb Autistic mouthbreathers. Otherwise they would have gone to college and done something fruitful with their lives instead of bombing women and children with drones
>>35504246
Ayyy lmao
>forgot i had boxers on and it was leg day
>ripped them from the crotch to the buttcrack, all the way down the middle
>whoops
>went to do leg press after
>people walking by give weird looks
>realize they can see my balls
rip
>>35504220
When I was 10 years old I knew I wanted to join the military. I put soldiers in a pedastol in my mind that they did no wrong, that they were the good guys.
Even in the initial training months my view was disrupted with reality. People I wouldn't trust to tie their boots without severely injuring themselves or bystanders were now wielding weaponry capable of destroying anything one could imagine. That was probably when I first learned that there are retards in all branches.
I don't mind the dumb ones, just the softies.
>>35504220
Nurse popping in again to say it depends on a bunch of stuff. We have to be relatively normal with patients every damn day, so, besides me, there's like two weirdos.
But this cryptolinguist drop out-turned-nurse I know describes a world of autism to me, a world he fled.
>>35504220
The military in general is pretty retarded bro
>>35504106
MOS is right except Air Force uses AFSC. We're special or some shit
>accidentally up the weight too much on squat
>fail on 3rd rep, lose balance and initiate the dance of my people
>drop weights on lift side which bends the fuck out of the clip
>Barbell ricochets to the right
>Whole upper floor looks at me
>Coughed, lowered weight and did the rest of my sets
>>35504335
You fucking beta.
>>35504360
He'd be beta if he left the gym.
>>35504287
>anything dealing with crypto
I may or may not deal with that in the navy, and holy fuck the people I have to put up with on a daily basis
>be 18, fatasfatass, 325lbs
>No idea how to in to gym or lose weight
>Spend 3 hours every session wandering around different machines, achieving nothing
>qt personal trainer, about 20 years old, 8/10 always talking to me which is nice since I dont really spill spaghetti
>Shes trying to upsell her shit and offers me a free training session
>Sure why not, its free, whats the worst that can happen
>Few days later, have my free session with her
>15 minutes in to spin bike warm up and Im already struggling
>Dont want to mention anything because that would make me look like a faggot
>She designs a workout that is essential a circuit of machine weights, done with no break between each one
>Do first one, no problem, Do second one, no problem
>Start third machine - shoulder press. Do a few reps, have to move the weight down which was embarrassing
>Few more reps, have to stop
>Vision going blurry
>Cant speak
>Try to stand up
>Come to, lying on the floor, with a group of people around me
Thats how I fainted in front of 8/10 qt as well as gym full of people after less than 20 minutes of moderate cardio.
>>35503552

>2 months of doing SS going great
>finished squatting going to do rows
>was taking the weight off(20kg plate) but for some reason I think it's far in the bar but is actually in the tip so gravity sets in and I don't have time to react
>hits my big toe
>hurts a bit
>try to finish workout but pain begins to settle in
>ask pt if its broke,says yes gets some ice and asks if I need an ambulance
>"nah" and just walk/jump 3 flights of stairs(forgot about the elevator)
>go to doctor, broken phalange or some shit and 8 weeks out
not fun at all to use crutches
>spicy meal last night
>barbell rows for a new PR, clenching dem abs like a motherfucker
>old dude is slowly making his way across the room behind me
>last rep and I clench to the max to make it, as the bar hits my chest I let rip the fart to end all farts - remnants of spice and anus blast forth from my sphyncter, and a cloud of noxious gas fills the air to the sound of Odin's thunderclap.
>pretend like nothing happened while the guy tries to pull himself off the back wall

>>35504510
Good grief
>>35504510
Wew lad. I dropped a plate on my foot this summer, thank god it wasn't right on my toe.
>>35504329
Navy doesn't use MOS anymore. They use rates.
>>35503552
>Pooped a little while doing squats
nice to know im not the only guy who occasionally buckshots below parallel
>>35503552
Sounds like your main mistake was joining Planet Fatness.
I dropped a db on my toe once. Small miracle I didn't lose the nail.
>>35503831
>blames own idiocy on squats
Pls be b8
>>35504041
Same thing happened to me while playing other anime song

>>35504948
It's called roid rage, desu
>>35504436
It's pretty shitty that as your trainer, the whole incident was entirely her fault but because you were a fatty everyone just demeans you and says "well thats what you get for being fat!"
>>35505017
I stuck with her for about 6 months. Once she realised my level of fitness (or lack of) it was fine. But it was quite a horrible incident. More so the actual feeling of fainting than the embarrassment of it as well. It felt horribel.
Made some decent cardio progress with her but gave up on that shit once I learned a little on my own and realised she didnt know a thing about lifting.
>>35503890
Don't know how other militaries operate, but I'm a US army airborne fag; the recruiters cant legally access your private medical files, so they leave it up to the honor system. I had asthma for 18 years according to my medical history. When they asked me? nope. never brought it up again
>>35504437
>rowing on SS
>>35503635
I had to get stitches for that. Embarrassment worse than pain.
>>35504115
>Crushed my soul instead
>lol
>>35505075
>>35504436
shit bruh, you remind me. twice this happened. be doing over head press. vision goes black, muscles go weak and numb, about to faint. through sheer willpower, pull myself out of it and pretend nothing is wrong. fight through and pump out a couple reps so i dont look stupid having picked up weight just to drop it. think it was cuz as i was pumping myself up, i was hyperventilating and that does some shit or something
>>35504189
19Dipshit, lived it hard.
Missed one of the pegs when reracking a squat once
>That feeling when you realise what you've done
>first day ever at the gym
>super fat ass, 280lbs
>figure I'll start slow and begin with the bike
>10 minutes in my ass doesn't feel right
>shrug it off and do 20 more minutes
>go home and I'm in so much pain
>check my ass, huge hemroid sprouted right at the entrance
>on the verge of tears whenever I walk, sit, or shit for the next 1-2 weeks
Didn't discourage me, thankfully. I was safer and stuck with it, losing close to 100lbs.
>dumbbell Row, warmup with 50 lb dumbbell
>not paying attention, pull too hard
>dumbbell hits ribs
Really fucking stupid injury, but it put me out for a while. It hurt for weeks to breathe/sit up, let alone lift weights.
