Those funny moments at the gym that make it all worthwhile...

[HdanSjr]

When i first started lifting, about 9 years ago, there was this short man, about 5 foot 5 or so, who only did legs. I mean, it could be any day of the week, and this idiot was doing legs, even if he had done them for the past 2 or 3 days. He was always preaching about how true raw power came from the legs....so thats all he was ever doing. Well, if you were a newbie, you would be "trapped" by this guy and you would have to listen to him rant and rave about leg strength, trust me, i got trapped after my frist week! Now, this guy was not strong at all, he was fairly overweight and his legs had to be in a state of overtraining because they looked like sticks. Well, i'll never forget this scene...it was around 5 or so on a BUSY weekday. So here come "Hercules"(what we call him to this day), he starts ranting and raving as usual. The owner of the gym had just purchaced a brand new incline leg press. Well Hercules thought he would be the one to break it in. He procedded to load as many 45s on the sled as possible. He actually even started to hang a few plates off the side with a chain he produced from his backpack he carried. He grunted out about 3 sets of about 5 reps, which moved the sled all of about 2 inches while his hands were pressing on his knees. Anyways, this leg press was brand new and the owner was proud of it, so it was in a highly visible area. Well, here's the funny part, Hercules unloads the left side only!!! All of the other 45s on the machine were on the right side...anyways, the damn maching actually flipped and went up into the air a little bit, throwing the 45s into the cardio room, into the mirrors and through a wall. People were running for cover, i was actually about 20 feet from it and saw the whole damn thing, i believe that was the closest to laughing so hard i could have shit myself that i have ever been, after the split second i thought i was going to die. The maching was bent to hell, the owner of the gym was there and procedded to rip Hercules a new one until the guy was in tears. He still lifts at the same gym to this day.

back in the college gym I got a friend to train with me ,we worked Lats,back & Chest i even pushed him abit to make sure he got a good workout. after that on the way to the parking lot (which was a block away) about half way there he starts staggering and the next thing i knew he was bent over puking his brains out.
That was his first & last time working out.
RADAR

The first time I trained legs with my bf i just about puked once we were done!! I could barely walk for at least 3 days after working out that hard!!

Skinny dipshit doing dumbell side raises on a grey aerobics ball. I knew something was gonna happen so I sat there keeping an eye on him. He was a little shaky on his first set but managed to keep it together. About the 3rd or 4th rep on his second set he loses his balance and flies off the ball, and the dumbells go flying out of his hands. Luckily nobody got hurt but one of the funniest things i've seen in a long time.

A Classic!

Now this is something that I know everyone deals with on a frequent basis.

the guy that is doing curls, and the weights start moving around. one side evetually comes off and it starts the chain reaction.

I just look and shake my head.


Ok here is another one!!!

Ok back in highschool when i played football, we had this rubberband speed contraption gimmick where two guys had this stretchy band attached at there waists. The guy in front starts sprinting and the second stays there until the tension builds up and the rubberband speeds him alongs making him run faster. Well the problem occured when the first guy took off and the band started to stretch. It was so tight it broke off the first guys waist and whipped back right at the 2nd runner. IT SMASHED HIM RIGHT IN THE NADS!! He was rolling around in PAIN!!!! I LMAO!!!

LMFAO! good one.

there was this one annoying guy in the gym who'd all always be making very audible cocky wise guy cracks at some of the monsters. no one really paid much attention by and large probably coz he was one skinny mother fucker. so once he asks me to spot him at the bench and i agreed. so he unracks what would have been close to his max and struggles thro 3 reps on his own. so he mumbles to me to help him get it back in the rack coz he can't take any more and i psyche him up with " come on u can do another one". so he lets the bar down the 4th time and at that point i stand back and watch the fun. the bar wasn't moving at all and he starts to get frantic. then he struggles some more, sees it isn't going anywhere rests it on his chest to try and rest a bit to try another heave. so on his second attempt it still isn't budging and he starts to scream for help. for a good 30 seconds some of the other guys just put down whatever they are doing and snicker. finally the owner comes running and helps the bar off his chest and then starts blasting him for lifting weights that were too heavy for him! and all this while i enjoyed the fun

one day we were warming up for bench, i think we had about 135 on the bar, so this girl comes over a says i can bench that much, and she wasnt a very big girl, so i said jump down their a get u some, i helped unrack the bar and she let it down to her tits and begin to strain so hard she let out this big fart, she got so imbearest and got up and ran off, to this day we have never seen her in the gym again.
