Funny story 2...
Looking back, to my early days of working out, I had a great time. Mind you I'm only 27, but have been in the gym since 15. This one story comes to mind, and at the time I thought it was hysterical.
My friend and I were both around 17 or so, but were at the gym everyday, trained hard, and were not looking like normal 17 year old's at the time. We had really good physiques for our ages, due to the fact we were lucky enough to get help from some good bros there who were serious about bb'ing, and knew we were serious as well.
here goes.....
We had a lot of humor in our gym back then. I started out in a smaller hard-core gym in New Jersey. It was a great place to train though. In the summer the place had garage doors attached for loading equipment, and in the summer they used to leave them open all the time for fresh air,ect..it was just a great atmosphere all around. This one day I was doing back, bent-over-rows standing on a banch, this rocker guy comes in. Now, when I say "rocker" I mean, he looked like he came straight out of a "poison" video. The hair, the pants, everything. he was a nice guy, but he was messed up, never did know his whole story. He ususally came in every saturday morning, and this would not be so unusual, but he always came in shitfaced! I mean he would comed in rocked out of his mind, to the point where he would need some occasional help by the door. To this day I still have no idea how he would get to the gym, he had to be local walking distance. My friend John, who would run the gym, he would do the routine every Sat, morning and friendly "escort" him on his way out of the gym, friendly "explaining" why he was not in the "shape" to work out today. This would usually take about a half and hour, and was quite funny. Every time this would happen, it was a show, and thankfully the guy never got nasty, just would make funny comments whilest dead serious. About the same time this was happening one saturday, this guy who I had maybe seen about 3 whole times on occasion, was in the gym watching this with us, and getting ready for some serious weighted deadlifts. This guy was about 230-240, all fat. I mean, this guy was in no shape to do even 225. This guy starts throwing powder/ chalk all over his body. So much so that the whole place by his area was covered. It was a mess. He had about well over 600 on the bar, and we all knew the only way he was moving that bar was a miracle, but we did not have the heart to tell him. He then wrapped up, and starts screaming, grunting, and continues screaming. The few guys in the gym, myself included w/ my friend...look over and were like wtf? The whole screaming bit lasted about 3 whole minutes and was enough to amuse us enough, to take a break from what we were doing to watch this guy kill himself, because something was going to happen, and it wasn't the weight. Well,....this guy finally attempts to take his first "pull" on the weight, and no go. Then second attempt,...no. Third, fourth, fifth......all no go. The bar did not even flinch all the while, mind you. Then the guy started with the screaming bit it looked like one last time, and looked like he would be going for 1 more "attempt" at it. This was the best part..... The guy must have strained so hard, well.... he wound up hurting his back pretty bad, and we could safely "assume" that that was not sweat building up in the crack of his ass. I swear,....This guy threw out his back majorly, and had o shit his pants some. All you heard was a "bone crack" similar to someone cracking knuckles,...and then a slight odor later on. Musty like. This guy was hurt pretty bad, we called the owner who was near by, and he helped him to the bathroom. The guy had somebody drive him home, and I did not see him until months later. A more "humbled" self. Turned out he seriously screwed up his back, as far as the shitting the pants,.....well,...I think this guy was just happy the gym was not full, there was nothing he could do at that point. I have to say, he was always "overly" nice to me and my friend, especially after that incodent. It was funny, but in all serious, I'm glad the guy was ok after all this happened. This is exactly why ego-lifting is dangerous, when you don't have the bod & exp.
