The dumbest thing you have done while training? LOL

Oh boy, I just remembered something that happened to me about a year ago. I was going to do squats and since I saw this skinny guy putting some weight on the bar, I was like, hell yeah I can do the same... well, I don't know if my shorts got stuck between my leg and thigh or my thigh just grew up a lot but I heard this tearing the whole side of my shorts ripped from top to bottom LOL I got up, hold my shorts and left the gym :D

Just two stupid things:

1. Split the @ss in my squat suit -- had to walk to the locker room with a bare butt (already posted that story in another thread).

2. When I was learning how to do overhead squats, I started with a PVC bar. Then I graduated to the 45lb bar. I was quite chuffed with myself because I figured I could start adding more weight, but as luck would have it, on the 8th rep, I had a massive brain fart, forgot I was holding a bar over my head and relaxed my arms on the way up. OUCH. I swear if my head wasn't so hard I would have knocked myself out. Man, I saw stars.

Naturally I dropped the bar and all the guys came to see whether or not I was OK (not exactly what I wanted -- I was so embarassed) and kept asking me if I was alright. I just stood there, kinda stunned because my head was throbbing and I said "just tell me if I'm bleeding". So they all felt my head, looked at their hands and said "don't think so". So I said "Then I'm probably OK. I guess I should just do some regular squats now, eh?" :D

"Probably a good idea, Mo ..."

Every time I went to do OH squats after that, there was always a guy ready to spot me. I thought that was so sweet of them :)

Unfortunately, after that, I was introduced as the "she's the girl who dropped the bar on her head" ... :yelrotflmao:

Well that's not to good now! I used to do that awhile back but ive got a habit of checking every time to make sure all is sealed and locked on just incase now.
 
This didn't happen to me but a fello yoga classmate, but we have all done it before.

Toward the end of yoga class, we are allowed to do something fun by doing inversion. The pose of the day was Crane, which is essentially a transition state between a push-up and handstand where the whole body weight is rested on the forearm and the legs are off the ground. If done properly, a person can hold that pose for 30seconds to a minute without too much issue. Ten seconds in, there came a LOUD boom 15 feet next to me and one gal was on the floor. From the looks of things, she must have face planted or shoulder landed on the floor when she fell over. It was kinda funny but no one dare laugh because we know she was embrassed. The only thing that was injured was her ego.

This actually remind me of a time when i tried to do a back-flip to show off without probably warming up. I was going to perform it indoor which meant that I cannot jump as high as I would like because the ceiling was only 10 ft. So to compenstate, I jumped backward more instead of up and tuck. Well, mid-air, I knew that I didn't have the proper height while in my tuck and I tried to pull out. Instead, what happened was a head plant and I rolled over. Had a headachne but my ego was more bruised.
 
Everyone has dropped a weight on their foot.. I've dropped myself on my foot. Let me explain:

I was doing bulgarian squats, when the non working leg slipped off the bench, it landed toe first. When the leg fell I fell back too, so I basically dropped myself on the toe. I put the leg back up, finished the set, went on to finish the workout. Then I had a hell of a time getting my socks off in the locker room because there was blood everywhere :D The nail was kinda split in half :p

That's probably the one thing I haven't done to myself ... and I'm hoping I don't.

And that must have hurt something fierce ;)
 
Question, is there any rule that prohibits putting the link to a myspace video about something really funny related to this topic?
 
gota real coach! not a trainer, not a gymn supervisor, but a real coach... one that had done what I want to do, and had gotten good at it! For an immature fly by the seat of his pants broken down skydiver trying to have fun,, getting acoach was definately the dumbest idea EVER!

:cheeky:FF:cheeky:

was I suppusdta reeed da threaad fust?

oooopy!
 
I was at Gold's about a week ago with a friend as his guest cause we where just on that side of town and i sat down at the seated cable row, put the pin on something like 180 and on about my 5th row the pin snapped holding the weight stack and the sudden "weightlessness" sent me flying of the bench about 2 feet backwards and cracked a mirror with my lower back/ass that was behind me.

Mission Accomplished.:D
 
I kicked the mat thing that you use for squats forward to get it out of the way and smashed the bottom of a mirror in my gym. Its still pretty good and it is actually a mirror that i brought so luckily i did not feel like to big of a doosh :eek:

That's hilarious ;) I'm imagining just how funny that would have looked.

Hope you didn't hurt yourself ...

Stupid machines anyway!!!!
 
Well, I did another, goofy and jacked up thing this morning doing the lower part of my routine. I didn't notice that I hadn't locked in the rear peg on my modified squat rack, and after a set of Front Squats, I set it back, and the right side goes banging down in-between and made a loud iron BANG on the floor waking up my entire family. :sad3: They all come rushing in to see if I was okay (including Grandma......I really felt good with her getting out of bed :(). DUMB!

I was not Chillen in the moment. :(

Best regards,

First go with Olympic Weights

I always trained at home so the first time I went to the gym, I went to do some bench pressing and couldn't see any collars (for some reason they were hidden someone) so I looked at the discs and noticed they had inner metal rings so I think, hey they must be magnetic. So I stick 220 pounds on the bar and start, after I had done a few I slightly tilted and my mate thankfully caught the weights before catastrophe. Needless to say I felt very stupid.
This is my first post so "HI EVERYONE"

that you thought they were magnets is pretty funny :p But I think all of us has an embarrasing story involving weights sliding off the bar.

LOL! I ROCKED the concrete in my garage a time or two when forgetting to put on the collars too, LOL.

Have never heard of magnetic collars, though.........he, he. :)

Okay so this happened today,

I wouldn't say it was because of stupidity, but maybe out of ignorance. I decided to bench press today and set a new personal best yet again. So the first 2 sets, the bar and then 1 plate. No big deal. Went fine. Added another plate, 225lbs. Seemed a lot harder then usual. But its okay, so added the third plate. 315lbs.

I broke under the weight like a TWIG. And its never happened before so I was utterly shocked. I lowered the weight to 269lbs. BROKE again as fast as the 315lbs.

So it was a pretty terrible and embarassing day. I later figured out that it was probably the lack of a weight belt. I never really learned the importance of it until today.

Learn from experience. I'm somewhat more humble today.
