Whats the stupidest thing you have seen at your gym

Note to self - no curling in the power rack.

true:
police officer was doing smith machine squats with a bench underneath for a depth check. like using a chair. well he went too heavy and failed causing him to be pinned between 500 some odd pounds and a bench. he broke his neck and now is paralyzed. HILARIOUS!

Not sure about anyone else, but this type of thing seems more tragic than hilarious.

 

[ireekofawesomeness]

normally that would be tragic but since it was a cop its funny

Ok, I have one more...This happened so long ago that the guy I was in the gym with at the time had to remind me of it.

I think it was my sophomore year in college at UMASS. I used to go with my roommate to his gym off campus because it had better equipment than our gym at school. It was a good gym but trips there were infrequent mainly because it was small and usually filled with this group of 8-10 morons at all times that hogged all the equipment. I am talking chicken legged MF's with the orange fake tans and MC Hammer zebra pants.

So this one particular evening the group was over using the squat racks admiring themselves. One them then decides to announce to all his buddies that he was going to go for “his squat record” or something along those lines. So this freak in his itty bitty running shorts (I remeber the shorts he was wearing, you will see why) begins to stack plate after plate, I would say a good 405.

He looks a bit concerned as he squats under the bar and sure enough he had good reason. He drops down with the weight on his shoulders and his face turns more red than usual. He starts to come back up from his 1/2 squat and all of the sudden he freezes. The next thing you see is $h!t running down his legs and he hasn’t fully pressed the weight all the way back up so he can’t get it back on the rack. Now at this point some of his buddies are laughing and some are horrified, but none of them go near him to help him. So after about 15 seconds of this he finally collapses, the weight and the bar goes flying everywhere and this guy flops on his a$$, rolling around in his own shit.

That was a good one.

That's unreal. I wonder this with a lot of these stories, but I'm going to actually ask on this one. Did he ever come back?

A few months ago some guy was benching a little too much weight without a spotter or any clips. On his last rep one of his arms was so much higher then the other that the weights slipped off one side. Someone else saw this and came running over to help, but he was a little too late. By the time he got there the cause and effect of the weights falling off of one side resulted in the olympic bar flying up and drilling him right in the face. His nose and teeth all bloodied and broken. depending on your sense of humor it's either funny or just too bad. I just felt bad for the guy that got wacked since he was just trying to help the idot that couln't control his weight.

The funiest thing I have seen was this retard always asking hes buddies for more plates when on the bench. He needs like 3 people to spot him... but he dosnt get it... he ceeps screeming for more.... funniest thing ever

 

[hairchallengedanimal]

haha what a good thread

There's a guy at my gym with the imaginary lat syndrome who just walks around trying to out-lift everyone, it dosen't matter what muscle group..

But that dosen't annoy me as much as people STRETCHING LEGS AFTER DOING TRICEPS..... gah

 

[joangie]

i hate to admit it but I took a plate off with a 25 in front of it. I happen to forget aboutthe 25 and sure enough it fell on my foot....felt like such an A-Hole

Sad thing is all I could think about was if I would be able to train legs the next day

Buuwaaaahhhaahahahahh!!! Thought the same shit one time - when I hurt my back . . .

This reminds me of a post a while back. It went something like you know you are hardcore when . . .
Then everyone one elite listed funny some funyy shit.

I remember one of them was:

I was at work and someone asked me what day is it today?? I had to think, got Chest and ABs today - it is wednesday man.

Sorry Babe, no sex tonight got legs in the AM.

You pack your midnight snack and set the alarm so you don't go over 5 hours without eating . .
