I was at the gym tonight and noticed a guy there i had never seen before. He was doing flat bench with dumbells. He had 2 35lb. dumbells and was starining his ass off with them. i guess he was felling like heman so he grabs 2 75lb. ders. The idiot puts them up, brings them down and attempets to go back up. On his way up, he drops one of the 75lb dumbells flat on his mouth. HAHAHAHA!!! He gets up and his lip is hanging from his face!!! He is gushing blood and doesnt even let out a peep!!! He just walks, gets his keys, and leaves!!!! His top lip was pretty much hanging!!! Me and my training partner were about to pee on ourselves. It may be mean but it was still histerical!!! LOLOLOLOLOLOL    | ||

my personal favorite is when they strip the bar down wrong, leaving 2 45's on one side and none on the other and the whole damn thing tips over making tons of noise so everybody looks at them. i get a good kick out of those. happens at least 2 times a week at my gym. | ||

I saw an old couple come into the gym about a year ago. Both had racketball safety glasses on and wore them their entire workout. I still laugh everytime I think about it. | ||

You guys don't have respect for others. At least the are trying. They aren't the fat ass people watching t.v all the time eating potato's all the time. They are trying to imprive themselves.They may not be the ripped 240lbs mofo's but at least they are trying to be healthy. It's the one's that aren't in the gym that you should be doggin' | ||

Hey Lattimer why would you laugh at those people. Who cares about what they are wearing. Tha fact that they are trying should be enough to respect. That's one thing that I've learned about any board. Everyboady dogs on people that look funny when they are working out. Who cares. At least they are trying. | ||

I myself do technical support for major computer company. I am currently studying for my certifications in many fields. I will be making 50,000 and up when I finish and I will only be 23. So who cares if I have glasses or not. I will stil be bigger, smarter, and richer than you. | ||

Thats my phobia...to drop weights on myself...needless to say my hands are LOCKED around those dumbells when i bench or fly or press. That poor guy. I guess he was stupid for not being careful, but I feel bad for him. You should have atleast asked him if he was okay and if he needed any help. We only live this life once and its not gonna kill ya to help someone out. Just my opinion. | ||

I have to admit it could be rather intimidating. Stuff like this happens all the time. Sometimes I will try to prevent these things by giving advice. Usually one of two things happen either they ignore you and do it any way. Although usually they think because you talked to them that your best friends or some shit. After that every time you see them at the gym it�s nothing but interruption after interruption. Then when you laugh at them or ignore them they think you�re the asshole. You know sometimes I think the nice guy always ends up to be the asshole. GS | ||

I think the most hilarious thing i ever saw was this guy who was about a buck ten,wet, well he get on the military press bench and puts 2 45's on each side, and I am thinking to myself right... well sure enough he sits down and grabs the bar and the very second he gets it off the rack it slams down buckling his elbows out and falls right on his back and then he falls off the bench sideways along with the entire bar. I was in the middle of a set of shrugs and saw it all threw the reflection in the mirror, It was sooo fucking funny. The guy thinks he is tough too, he walks around in the gym with American Muscle pants on, and will never move when you are walking toward him, he is like a mad bull he just walks right toward you and thinks you are going to move. ------------------ If You Can't Be Bigger, Be Better Looking! | ||

Of course some of this stuff is funny !! But you gotta remember that we were all beginners once, and we were the ones being laughed at..And, if you think that no one has ever laughed at you, you are wrong.. I dont think people getting hurt in the gym is necessarily funny.. That kid probablly wont ever come back now.. Maybe you should have asked him if he was okay.. On the other hand, I LOVE the funny looking people.. My buddies and I give them nicknames.. At my gym we have " The Dance ", he's this jackass who grooves in front of the mirror in a half shirt and rainbow colored short shorts.. Never seen him touch a weight or machine.. We have " Mega Death Spandex ", he this fella that wears super tight long black spandex, boots with chains on them, and a shredded Tesla t-shirt.. We have " Mr. Kotter".. No explanation needed..... I would have loved to see those old folks wearing their goggles the whole time they worked out !!!! | ||

I say fuck it! I was laughed at when I made the bar tip over, unloading it wrong. he should get laughed at too. The dumbell dropping on the kids face will probably be something he looks back on and laughs when he's bigger,stronger, and wiser. | ||

Funny yes......But did you ever think to go over and ask the kid if he needed any help?... And yes, I know it wasn't very smart of the kid but shit! "Good deeds come back to you 3-fold" ------------------ | ||

Laughing at others misfortunes. Too easily we put others down to big ourselves up. I am not completely without a sense of humour and the kid that dropped the db was probably funny at first but I would have definately checked he was OK. A skinny kid, although acting tough on the outside usually does this because they feel insecure. Yes they will try and lift beyond their means in order to compete with the bigger guys but they may not know any better. You should have helped him out and then later made him see the funny side rather than doing something that could put him off training for life. How can he show his face there again now? The old couple at first made me chuckle, imagining them in pastel coloured shorts with knee length socks and drab hawian shirts to match. However they deserve some respect for being there and making the effort. OK they may not have the best fashion sense or be up to the times but age is one thing that none of us can escape. It will catch up with us all. If they were wearing lycra or the latest gym apparel would it make any difference? I think we laugh off our own insecurities sometimes. Being skinny/out of shape - we all started there and don't wanna go back. Or getting old - we all know we will end up like that. They are there to train and people laughing in their face could change all of that. Let's try and encourage these people from now on and not be so narrow minded. | ||

If you want Ranger's opinion....I think it's funny as Hell myself, lifting weights is like driving a car.....if you have never driven a car before, would you go out and buy a sports car and floor board the fucker down the interstate??? Nope!!! If you don't know for sure what you're doing, ask, if you're not sure you can put the weight up...grab a spotter!!! Of course we have all fucked up in the gym and been laughed at....let it roll off ya like water off a ducks ass Bro...!!! Ranger | ||

Sure he probably was stupid for going beyond his limit, but laughing at a guy that just tore off his lip and probably smashed out some teeth is just plain sadistic to me. I really didn't think it was funny at all myself and no I've never done anything similar myself either. If the guy was an experienced trainer would you all have still laughed at him??? ------------------ | ||

I too laugh, but you got to give him a little credit, he got up and just walked the hell out not saying a word...Most would have been crying and yelling like a little bitch, not saying that i wouldn't but i hope i could hold the pain inside while picking up my teeth and hold my hanging lip in place and drive myself to the nearest hospital for some stitches... | ||

i remember when i started out i was doing db flat bench. i was using 70's, and my buddy was spotting me, i got near the top and the dick pushed on my elbows too hard and the one weight just dropped straight on my chest, hurt like hell, but i finished the workout, i got a good laugh out of it too, even though i looked like the dumb one. | ||

i didnt ask the guy if he was ok because it was like 3 peaople in the gym. Me, my friend, and him. We were on the o0ther side. It had only been like 5 minutes earlier when i saw huim struggling with the 35's i asked if he needed a spot. He responde hell no. So fuck em, he';s on his own. I tried, it wasnt my fault he thought his shit didnt stink. I tried to ask him if he was ok but the fucker was out in a flash. He hauled ass. But it was still the funniest thing i have ever seen in the gym. Don't make me out to be the bad guy, some of you guys need a sense of humor. Chech your sources, maybe they can help you out!!!!! | ||

oh i'm sorry to hear that. i'm only going to one of the best athletic training schools in the country. i think it was either 6 or 7 out of 10 graduates end up as pro, college, semi pro athletic trainers and the others own their own companys. so ya, you're right, i'm going no where in life. i will just be a poor good for nothing piece of shit. tell me how your personal training at the YMCA goes though. no offense to anybody who trains at the Y. just trying to tell a dick smacker off. | ||

Hey Delinquant! You need to relax a little man. I don't give a rats ass how old you are or what you make and I'm pretty sure nobody else does either. I would offer to drive this bleading jack-ass to the hospital if he needed it but if he just gets up and leaves fuck him it's a story to laugh my ass off about. For that matter my training partner (about 5 yrs ago) chipped half his front tooth off doing EZ curls with plates. The nerve was just hangin there so he stuck some gum on it to keep the air off it...BAD MOVE ! ! ! He pulled it off in the locker room to look at it and out came the nerve ! ! ! I laughed my ass off and so did his twin brother so fuck you for not being able to relax and laugh a little... get off the halotesten and enjoy life buddy. | ||

I'd rather not relax and laugh at head trauma. Although I did see the funniest car accident EVER on the way home from the gym today. The guy driving lost his arm and I don't even want to tell you what happened to the passenger. It was fucking hilarious I tell you.... ------------------ [This message has been edited by Daeo (edited February 12, 2001).] | ||

I'm with Delinquent. Anyone who laughs or looks down at a newbie, just makes a bad name for committed people who train. Why not rise above what every other dumbass jock would do...laugh and giggle like school boys instead of being men. Seems like we have enough of that bullshit in every sport these days. Hey, let's get crazy and try something really different ... being decent, showing consideration and giving a shit about someone (newbie or not). So you laugh at a kid with his lip hanging off because he did something stupid...which one of you arrogant assholes never did something stupid. Did you ever think the guy might have had a concussion and blacked out while trying to drive his car to the ER. Jeez, it wouldn't be cool to stop the guy in his tracks and call an ambulance or keep him there till someone could drive him ...no, we're too fucking cool for that. | ||
