In an LA gym a he/she started up a flirtatious conversation while I was benching. I did not catch that she was an it for about the first 30 seconds of the dialogue and was flirting back. I snaped and and warned it away. Unfortuinatly I had friends that witnessed the event unfold. These same friends would be at some party or something so that I was never allowed to live that one down.

Was that you!!!!!

Come on tell them the truth, it didn't end like that.

Are you OK?" "That looks like it fvckin' hurt!" etc!
Once early on my hands slipped off doing a cable EZ/Curl push down & the bar flew up a smacked me in the chin.
Also lost my co-ordination on the stairclimber once & fell on it, the steps ripped up my shins.

I can't believe that I'm going to admit this...


Years ago I tried to get into bodybuilding (and failed). I wanted to do some squats. So I loaded up the bar. The problem was that I didn't tighten one of the collars enough. I was on my fifth or sixth rep when the bar slid just a little to the left. The plates slid over just a bit and this caused the bar to slide down further to the left which caused...well, you get the idea. The plates on the left side slid off and the bar whipped back to the right and fell plates down to the floor. This was bad enough and made enough racket on its own. But the bar whipped further over to the right and struck a nautilus machine. It sounded like the bells of Notre Dame.

Everyone, and a I mean everyone, was looking at me. I mustered all the dignity that I could and put all the equipment away and went home and didn't come back for almost three weeks.

So, do you still respect me?

I just lost all the respect I had for you.














Just kidding

I used to carry two containers in my gym bag; one with fruit juice and creatine in it, the other with my protein shake. Immediately after my workout I'd slam the fruit juice/creatine cocktail, go shave and shower then come back and drink my protein while getting dressed. After an incredibly intense squat session one day I slammed my juice (Grape happened to be the flavor of the day.) and went to take a shower. You guessed it, right in the middle of the shower the entire bottle of grape juice came back up in a bright purple stream that splattered against the shower wall. It looked really cool as it ran down the tile. Luckily I wasn't the only one in the shower that had ever had that experience. As a matter of fact, someone even asked me, "Leg day?" I just gave him a big purple smile and nodded.

At least it wasn't a milky smile like my avatar , the guys would have ran out of the shower.

Yeah, yeah, yeah..............at least I was creative. Not like you with your tire old dropped soap routine.


What's happening Burner. Any good war stories lately?

if it works.....
heh heh...

This one time...at band camp...

This didnt happen in a gym, but I didnt want to start a new thread for it.
I was masking windows at work today; and in each window, I had to mask of 16 sections of glass.. pretty small, but alot of taping. The masking tape kept sticking to me when ripped a small piece off of another piece to make it fit, so i started grabbing them from my hands with my mouth, then blowing the off into the room somewhere.
Of course, tape sticks to your lips too, so I had the pieces pretty far into my mouth.. One piece made it past the teeth, and got stuck near the top of my mouth(pretty big piece too) and somehow; due to the new aerodynamics created within my mouth, When I blew out drool and saliva(Two completely different things, mind you!) flew out, and it was a whole lot of it.. Somehow 3 of my coworkers, who had been downstairs 99% of the day, were standing in the doorway just in time to see this spectacle.

They made me pick up all the tape by myself

this didnt happen to me but today i inbetween sets i was watching some kids bench and this kid about 15 years old was trying to bench 65 pounds and he got pinned and his friends were laughing so hard someone esle had to help him. about 5 mins later the kid tried it again but for some reason added 20 pounds he picked it off the rack and he just dropped it on himself.

Peed in the water fountain, but hey who doesn't make mistakes their first time at the gym?

I was doing DB decline one night, when the gym was full, and took my feet out from under the bench before I set down the weights. I shot off the damn bench like a bullet! Everyone rushed over to see if I was ok and when they found out I was they all laughed at me! Well, I would have laughed at someone else too.

Getting stuck on the smith machine while doing benches, then motioning for someone to help me out.... Haven't used a smith for anything since then...

Man, that is why I use the smith machine! I've never been stuck on one of those, but I'm sure you've probably never shot yourself off the back of a decline bench either!

I forgot about this one. When I was in the Navy the base gym had a rock-climbing machine. It became a staple for my cardio training along with swimming (I had planned to try for BUD/S). One day I was cruising along at a nice pace, so nice I started to fall into a trance and end up missing a handhold, well in my trance state not only did I miss a handhold, but I let myself climb all the way to the top, so that when I slipped I fell hard and rolled into the aisle. I just jumped up, turned around and got right back on without even trying to see how many people saw me.

It sucks because when the bar gets low enough when you're benching with it, you can't use the hooks to catch it, AND the bar is fixed so you can move it any way except up, which I couldn't at the time.

Using a bar bell with the little movable safety bars on the side is much better because you can actually move the bar forward and set it in the safety bars if you absolutely have to, but now I usually just ask random people to spot me because I don't want to risk anything when I'm going heavier that I have before.

Some examples are:

- Reapplying deodorant while sitting at the bench
- Burping whenever I feel like it
- Swearing in Italian or Spanish when I can't force a last rep
- Making noises that resemble giving birth during decline situps
- Flexing in the mirror 200 times to check out my pump and talking to myself while doing it


Oh and if Bulletproof or Pfunk read this.... Yes girls fart

WOW! A dream come true!
