The dumbest thing you have done while training? LOL

Jake, that is cool, there's alot that look in the mirror while training. Are you finding this funny checking yourself out? :) ;)
 
i agree, lots do look in the mirrow to watch form, i on the other hand was seeing how big my arms were.... and i was on a bicep curl machine:eek:
 
Worst thing ive ever done was i mixed up the machines when i was new and thaut the close grip bench was a row T-bar and i normally only lift 15 kg but i chucked on 40 kg and was like hmmm according to this i can lift it. So i jumped on and tried lifting it and it wouldn't budge lol...funny thing was that there was all these tank guys around me watching me haha...shame !
 
I had a new one today,
I've been getting irritable from quiting smoking as some of you might have noticed :) so I decided to work out hard to try and take my aggression out on some weights. I was doing my third set of incline dumbell presses when I blew air out hard as I lifted which caused spit to come out and land in my eye! :mad:
Not good but I did manage to finish the set (with my right eye closed)
 
According to this thread I guess mine are pretty common.

I lost my footing on the treadmill and went off it backwards. Luckily the guy I was talking to was just standing behind me and basically caught me. He wasn't very big, but he was a competitive lightweight bodybuilder so he was strong enough to stop my momentum and not have us both go down.

...I just remembered that f$$%er used to load up the leg press (the sled type) with as many plates as it would hold then I would sit on top of it and he would press for reps

Of course I've tried to push one too many reps out on the bench and failed while working out by myself. ...um help!
 
I forgot to put the collars on the bar. I was doing 1 arm bb snatches. I was a bit unbalanced and the bar slid to one side and all the plates went sliding off and then it jerked the bar to the other side as the rest of the plates fell off. I'm not sure what the height is from the ground to the top of my hand extended upward...but 100lbs worth of weight sounds like an elephant from that height. Everyone turned and stared. I smiled on the outside, and cryed on the inside from embarrasment.

I still like when I was doing reverse band push presses. I started to unload one side too much and the sucker went flying. Imagine two huge rubber bands loaded up and ready to launch a bb. yup. Same end result.
 
The other day i was on the treadmill, was going pretty fast and had been on a while so was starting to get tired. I was trying to change the song on my ipod and dropped it, of course it went flying off the back of the treadmill. I panicked and wanted to go find my ipod to see if it was broken or not, instead of turning the treadmill off i stupidly just stopped running and was thrown off the end, landed with a bit off a bang but luckily the gym wasnt too busy!

You highlander scotts never learn you cant just put up a catapult in a civilized neighbourhood...
 
I was doing decline crunches with my arms crossed across my chest, holding 25lbs dumbbells in each hand. When i finished my set, i tried to uncross my arms, but the weights had shifted and wedged themselves under my arms. Due to the awkwardness of laying on a decline and the extra weight, I wasn't able to just lift the weights off my chest and put them on the ground, I had to flop back and forth until the weights were in a position that i could drop them. I must have looked RIDICULOUS!!
 
LOL :) , CCR's Comment. Play nice, LOL

CCR do you have one, come on, fess up. I wont say the same thing to ya, I promise............:p
 
Just recently at a school combine I was swerving near the end and I ran straight into the coach during the 40 yard dash and broke the stopwatch.

I have a nag for doing embarassing things :(

OK, here are a couple I'd already posted, both happened doing the same lift, maybe it's cursed :)

I almost had one of those moments once, thankfully I was just doing a dumbell press so there was no danger of a bar landing on my neck.
It was due to this young woman who I think had a bit of a thing for her PT (I think her PT is gay though which might explain why she was reduced to trying so hard). She had come for her session in the most inappropriate clothes ever for a workout, it looked like she was going clubbing in a wonderbra and super low cut top. anyway, I was trying to push up a few last reps when she bends down to pick up dumb bells while facing a mirror, pushing her boobs together with her arms to try and give a show to her PT and I glimps an eye-full out of the corner of my eye.
I'm half way through the lift and now I've lost concentration and all of a sudden my arms won't move, they're just stuck half way in the air and I'm looking like a right tit myself at this point, I think at least one other guy saw what happened and was trying not to laugh at me. I had to drop the weights and go take a drink

Was the ipod okay?


Guys, awsome thread. Read every post.

Well here's mine.

Went to gym to do bench for the first time. Had no one spotting because I figured that I would just go 20kg under my probable limit, which at the time was probably 70kg, thank god I've improved... Anyway. I loaded 50 onto the bar... Can you see my mistake yet?


I tried to lift, holy mother of poo, I couldn't pump it back up. So I was lying there, thinking, SHAT. After 15 seconds I decided to try and do get the bar off my chest as subtly as possible. So I pushed off my right hand. The bar flipped. And damn, the noise was incredible.

Anyone figured out my mistake??


That particular bar weight 20kg itself. So I was attempting 70kg on my first ever lift. Smooth.
 
I had a great one happen to my friend in the weight room as I watched. He was squatting heavy (he was a big guy) but he was inappropriately dressed for the weight room, wearing long khaki cargo pants. Well, he squats deep, rips a giant hole in his pants AND boxers, makes me go get his sweatshirt so he can tie it around his waist, and runs out of there.

I've never laughed so hard in my life.

ROTFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great!
 
Just yesterday I tried powercleaning 120 and when I went into the front squat I couldn't get backup so I was stuck. I had to fall backward and roll it off me.
