Anyone totally made an ass out of themselves at the gym?

[Xavier_Jones]

Today I went to the university gym to work out for the first time, I was wanting to check out the smith machine and what they had...sadly it was a real hack job and didn't have much other than some hot chicks running watching Fox news...

Anyhow I decided to do some power shrugs and picked up some 60lb bells, I normally work with 55ish due to not having the right stuff to lift heavier at home.

Anyhow on my second set I threw my arms back too far and fell on my ass, took out an exercise bicycle in my fall.

Everyone looked at me funny and I split

LOL

Dude- I make an ass out of myself all the time. I was the prototype for the wrestler called Mr. Ass. The key is to ignore everyone. Puff out your chest before you pull that stationary bike back up and let them know by your demeanor that you're far too busy pushing steel to notice their slackjawed concerns. It's always better to try and fail than to suffer through one of their tedious and ineffectual workouts.

Don't know. Does passing out, cutting farts, getting distracted and forgetting to load all the weight on the bar before lifting count?

I was running on the treadmill once, and I closed my eyes for a second. I dunno why, I sometimes do this when I run outside. Well fuck me silly, if I didn't slip off-track....so I trip, and then instead of just letting the machine throw me off, I grab the sidebars and the machine starts dragging me off the end. My feet are skidding off the end, the machine is screeching, i can feel everyone looking, and the chick walking on the treadmill next to me turns and says "oh my god, do you need help?!" There was no way in hell I was gonna be rescued, so I pulled myself upright, ran another half-mile, and then left.

Shit happens.

Brother we all have our 'moments'. I just laugh about it and move on. Besides, who cares what other people think?

Several people routinely make an ass of themselves on this board. Does that count? LoL

i agree that you should just pretend it didn't even happen and go right on pumpin. i was doing power cleans, hoisted it up the wrong way (when i just started doing them in my routine) and backed (more like ran) into the brick wall. took a few days for the lump on my head to go away. and another time i was jumping on a flat bench with one foot to finish my leg workout and slid right off the other side. almost made a faceplant. i din even mind much. just kept pumpin

When I was about 20, I was just starting to get interested in lifting. A buddy was helping me out and told me that one of the best lifts was squats. So, I toss 185 on the bar, lift it, and realize this might be a tad much for me. However, I didn't want to look like an ass and just give up. So I tried to squat with it. On the way down I came up on my toes, which made me tip forward a little. I tried to compensate by leaning back, and I went completely over. Caught my hand between the bar and the pin, ripped it open, and naturally everyone is looking over to see what the huge crash was. One big guy came over to check on me and my friend and help pick the bar back up. My buddy tried to cover for me and told the guy there must have been some water on the floor and I slipped. I felt like a complete ass. But, I wrapped my hand up in a towel to stop the bleeding and we continued our workout.
