I was hoping that this thread was still here. This just happened this morning. My side is still hurting from laughing so hard. THANK GOD, no one was hurt....... Here goes.......


I am in the back row in the cardio section of my gym doing my 30 minutes on the stair stepper. You know, the big one that stands way above all the other machines. It's 6 a.m. and the gym is freaking packed! It looks like a Monday afternoon at 6 p.m. obviously, all the "new years resolution" people are here to put their 3 weeks in.

In walk a couple of newbees. Brand new workout clothes. Both in their mid 30's, I'd guess. He heads off to the locker room, and she walks over to the magazine rack. After about 5 minutes of uncertainty of what to do, they both decide to get on the tread mills right in front of me. I'm watching the news, so I'm not really paying too much attention to everything that’s happening.... About 5 minutes go by.

All of a sudden, I hear a boom and I see the guy slip on the treadmill. It's like I'm watching this in slow motion. His legs go out from underneath him. He manages to grab the handlebar on the front of the tread mill and is hanging on like someone hanging on to the bumper of a car going 30 miles an hour. His legs are flailing around trying to get some footing and WHAM, the treadmill grabs the bottom of his sweat pants and off they come!! At this point, I'm laughing so hard, I'm tripping on the steps trying to stay on top of the machine to watch. All this while, his wife is just walking on her machine, watching, not knowing what to do. Once he realizes that his pants are off, panic sets in and he grabs for his wife’s hand. She reaches out to grab it, catches his hand and as he lets go of the machine, the running treadmill drags him off, and drags her diagonally across the side bars of her machine, catching her top and lifting it, along with her bra, right over her freaking head. They both land in a pile on the floor, right in front of my machine, him with no pants on, and her with her top and bra wrapped over the top of her head.

I’m laughing so hard at this point that off I go, right on my ass and into the wall behind me. By the time I caught my breath, all I saw was their ass ends, heading out the front door.

My ass is sore from landing on it, but today is chest day for me.

I laugh at this every time time I re- tell your story, I had the whole bar busting-up the other night
funny sh*t buff

Today I saw a guy using the knee holdowns on the lat pulldown machine as handholds to do puch ups from.

he was compounding these with upright machine chest presses.

I feel compelled to add to this thread.

My friends were jokin on me so im like, yea. . . i step up on the bench they are using grab the 135 they are benching proceed to step down and curl it, but i roll my ankle n fall hard. That was pretty embarrasing, but the gym loved it haha.

I was givin sum1 advice one time and leaned on the decline bench and the pin wasnt all the way in and it went down and so did i.

I can keep goin, but thats just stuff thats happened to ME. Id need another thread for more haha.

There's this creepy dude at my gym about 40 years old, Italian- goes around punching the opposite pectoral. He's got crazy eyes and talks to himself under his breath saying, "I work out so I can kick ass, look at me." "yah, im gonna lift and beat someone's ass" ...different variations on this. Maybe it's roid rage.

This shit is so funny, the sad part is, is that it really happens all the time! I can't stop laughing! I love the guys that when they lift, they aren't even concentrating, you can see them looking out of the corners of their eyes to see who is watching them!

im far from the strongest guy in my gym, but i at least strive to pull good form no matter what, but there are these 3 guys that ALWAYS seem to be in there when i go in with my brother, and they do curls not only on the squat rack, but with THE ONLY SQUAT BAR IN THE WHOLE GYM. ok the mirrors at the sqat rack are best set up if your worried about form for curls, but why the hell use the bar?

but anyway, without fail these guys end up swinging their backs back to > like angles, basically if you can load up an excercise with to much weight, and do it with bad form, these guys can do it.

farting in one corner of the gym and the whole room smelling it is still my biggest claim to fame
