Funny gym story

[bigp3]

Okay let me set this one up first. Every gym has a guy or two that tries to handle weights that he has no business even touching. You know this idiot, the guy that does 4 inch squats and team bench pressing with his partner deadlifting the bar while he tries to press it. Well anyway, this ding dong in my gym decides he is going to try to press the 150 lb db’s. He gets them on his knees to do the old kick up to get them in place. Well he lays back down on the bench while kicking the first dumbbell up in place and he can not control the db. He almost gets it under control into the pressing position but it keeps going backwards in slow motion and the stupid fuck drops it behind him. What makes this even better is his numb nuts training partner is to busy looking at girls and is not watching what is going on and proceeds to have a 150 lb db planted squarely on his foot,,,, LOL. I could not believe this was happening, the whole thing seemed like it took 10 minutes to unfold. The guy with the dumbbell on his foot then lets out a scream like a 5 year old girl who just saw the ghost of his great great grandfather. I have never heard a dude scream like this, it was like half mountain cat half woman,,, lol. I know it is not funny when someone gets hurt, but you would appreciate it if you only knew what idiots these guys are. It was embarrassing for them too because half the gym was laughing at them.

bigp3, Ouch, I don't know if its funny or painful, I think both.

I used to train with a figure girl of 103 lbs, and man she was tough, she loved to do legs with me in my highvolume days and would keep up with me set for set, and we would stupidly pound out 35-40 sets, anyway, we talk to each other while we are changing plates and we were at the Leg Sled, I told the last guy using it to leave what he had on I would strip as needed, so it looked like 5 per side so I did a quick warm up set, we each took a side and of course talking and she pulled the plate off, it went right to the floor on her foot, it was a 100lb plate, she screamed so loud she ruptured my ear drum and the plate stayed on her foot, the plate resting on the peg that holds plates, I had to jump over the seat and pick it up off her foot, three broken toes, I felt it was my fault for talking and not telling her its a 100.

After that day the owner sold them, way to many pinched fingers and now broken toes...

A friend of mine at the gym learned his lesson about wearing flip flops. He dropped a 45 lb plate on his toe and had to have it removed.

one day i was doing cardio at my gym and some dude got off but left the treadmill running , so this rather large gentelman walks up to it and starts to stretch prior jumping on it,, then i hear this woman yell "oh my god" i looked and say that guy in mid air,, fall on his shoulder land on his back and the treadmill sent him flying like a bat out of hell (i think the speed was up to 7mph) threw him on the floor and the back of his head was grinding on the treadmiill .. funny as shit ,, i never laughed so hard in my life,,

[BBC]

well, I hope he would remove it.....you can't keep a 45lb plate on your toe!

mobsta, LOL, that made me think of one time this guy walks up top the treadmill, stands on the sides off the belt, turns the thing on, gets it going faster and faster, I mean this thing is going like 4.0 he gets ready and takes a step on the belt, it throws him off his feet and he hits his chin on the edge of the machine and tears the skin wide open, I just stood there in amazement that someone is that dumb, no one in the whole gym ever seen him before, I guess we never will again...

[mobsta]

gotta love gym idiots,, i saw this guy benching with db,, i think he only had about 50lbs in each hand ,, he was locking out at the very top ,, on his last rep i think he just gave up and instead of dropping the db he leaned hard to right and just fell over..

lol. thats some funny ass stuff. you get the fare share of ding dongs around here too. Some dude was unloading weights off the ez bar on the preacher curl. So he pulls all the weights off one side.... you see where this is going. The bar sling shots round and almost smashes me in the face while im doing dumbell flies. The funny thing is i didnt even notice until the bar crashed to the floor. I told him never to do that again. I always stay 10ft away from that guy.


Sometimes im suprised by the lack of knowledge in the gym. This guy who looked to have a decent build came upto me while im standing at the smith. He turns and points at the incline bench and says. Excuse me is that the incline press

Im then doing dips and then guy comes to me and says. Excuse me sorry to bother you but whats a flye.

Some people eh. Well atleast he was smart enough to ask unlike some kids who just load up benches and so on, then proceed to crush themselves. I had to warn the guy when he was about to incline bench that it might be a bit too heavy for him. The said it would be ok. Unracked and it dropped on his chest. What did i just say!

LOL,,, good one

I have my own dumb ass story. This was many moons ago when I was in college. Well anyway, one day I was squatting at the gym I worked at and was not thinking at all when I was done. I had 315 on the bar and I was busy staring at this girls crotch that was on the abductor adductor maching,,, lol. To make a long story short, I was mindlessly unracking the plates from one side of the bar, the whole time focussing on this girls goods and I did not think about the weight on the other side. Well you can guess what happened, the bar went flying across the gym and smashed two mirrors,,,lol. I was so embarrassed. The owner of the gym made me clean the locker rooms at night 3 days a week to pay for the mirrors,,, lol.

I just finished doing some Hacks and this kid bout 165-175 comes up and says, "Wow man nice set, do you have any good tips for me", I said, "eat", he laughed and walked away.

Don't get me wrong we have great people in my gym only a few assfucks, its so nice when you are standing in the middle of like 10 benches and someone comes over from like 10' away and says, "excuse me, are you using this", hell just for asking like that, even if I am, it yours now...

bigp3, LOL, at least they didn't have any dirty dishes, huh...

Actually you guys brining up the treadmill stories rekindled some old memories.

The was this rather portly gentelmen on a treadmill about two away from me. I can see he has the incline up as far as it would go. At this point the man upped the speed. He kept going and going and going. I knew at a certain point this man's legs would give. Me being the guy that I am paused my workout to watch this idiot crash and burn.

Man, when it happened it looked kind of like a kid riding a bicycle, going very fast and crashing. You can tell they're trying to regain control but you know it aint gonna happen. This man's legs were moving side to side. You could see him trying to find what button would stop him but it was a fruitless endevour.

As I remember I think half of one of his feet ended up on the part that doesn't move. This made both legs collapse. I remember seeing 3 employees and a few members go over to help him out.

The people at my gym don't do too many funny things... I think the funniest story was when I got myself stuck while benching... It was an early morning workout - my training partner hadn't shown up, so I decided to get started on bench press by myself... only other people in the gym were the lady that worked the desk (pretty buff bodybuilder type) and a personal training client that she was working with off in the corner... So I hop on the bench and put on the weight I had done for 8 reps the last chest workout - start going with it, and damn, things didn't feel quite right - much weaker than I remembered... but I kept going... 6 - no problem, 7 - a struggle, 8 - I went down and started going up... hit about halfway up and all of a sudden I was doing a static hold! I was laying there thinking "shit this isn't happening!" as I am trying everything I can think of to get that bar to move up ... after what seemed like 5 minutes it started to reverse directions and ended up sitting on my chest... Great... I tried looking around and the 2 people that were in the gym besides me had no clue what was going on - so I ended up having to tilt the bar and dump the plates off one side so I could sit up... Definitely got the attention of the other 2 people, and we all had a pretty good laugh about it... Now I never bench press without a spotter!!
