    Most embarassin moments of your Bodybuilding life

    Inspired by the greatest moments.

    Share here what made you laugh, cry and even piss yourself with embarassment. I'll start with mine.

    First, what made me start this thread; I was in the shower 30 mins ago and there is a ceramic step up all around angling inwards towards the shower basin to make sure the water stays in. I then decided to do some calf raises. Nobody told me I was barefoot, or that the ceramic was slippery. I ended up falling with all my weight on my right knee and falling through and taking out the shower curtain onto the cold hard floor.


    The other time is when I first tried to do skullcrushers. I tried it on a smith machine, and I was puny. Needless to say it was the first exercise where I experienced the meaning behind the name!

    Mine would actually be just entering the world of bodybuilding/weight lifting. I used to be a long-distance runner. Years of extreme overtraining, undereating, improper eating (as in what I was eating..not just calories), and just flat out ignoring common sense left me with a ravaged, skinny and very very weak body -- not to mention some emotional and body image problems.

    So, I quit running in Sept 2008 after a half marathon. I started hitting the gym more seriously and doing my reading. However, I kept up with my usual back-then routine of a few basic isolation machines pretty much.

    It wasn't until about three weeks in that all my research prompted me to finally face my fear and move into the free weight area. I've never been so ashamed in my life; I felt like the biggest pussy in the world. I had no stablizers or general strength. It was terrible. So much of my motivation then came from feeling embarassed and intimidated by others. So glad that's in the past.

    OUCH!!! Damn! That had to require a stitch or two.

    Okay, I got an moment.. I was on a leg press machine. One that you lie on your back. Sort of like a horizontal squat machine which was facing the entrance door. After a few snickers and giggles someone finally told me my balls were hanging out!

    Same with me, I'm doing my presses when I see min0 giving me this dirty look...I ignored him and next thing I see him come over and he starts arguing with me accusing me of flashing the guys on purpose..LOL my shorts were exposing a little too much.
    We left early and that was the last time I ever saw those shorts.

    I signed up at a Bally's. They gave me a free personal training session. The guy put me through a crazy HIT session right away. After my workout we went to his office to talk about pricing and what not. I ended up having to literally run down stairs to the bathroom and puked my guts out for about 5 mins. It was so nasty. Everyone was looking at me after I got out of the bathroom. Very embarrassing. I still came back and worked out there though.

    I remember my buddy was at the gym by himself. He was doing bench press. He is to shy to ask for a spot so needless to say he ended up failing and had to do the whole drop the weight off the one end of the barbell then the other end. A guy ended up running over to help him. That had to be pretty embarrassing.

    Where to begin?

    Puked in the shower at the gym after squats.

    Almost dropped bar on face on incline.

    Cramped up so bad I couldn't step down from a treadmill.

    Smelled some rank BO and realized I was wearing 2 day old shorts.

    Worked out Chuck Norris style: White T-Shirt and Blue Jeans.

    Worked out in slacks and dress shoes.

    That's all I can think of right now.

    Doing weighted pullups with the belt on wrong. At the top of the Rep, the belt slid down. It took my pants with it.

    No gym for home, work out floor with 30, but is it for 20 like 30 lb when you no lift it to be for men, for 30 lbs instead? or half is 10 for 20 pounds?

    Holy crap I just about wet myself laughing at that reply.

    My most embarasing moment came about 8 years ago the first time I ever worked out in a public gym (besides in school). It was my 2nd week and this guy was doing leg presses and out of nowhere he farted so loud I thought he crapped his pants. I fell to the floor laughing my ass off. After I recovered from laughing so much and wiped the tears from my eyes, I looked up and I was the only one laughing. I could not believe no one else was laughing at that. I mean come on farts are always funny!!
    Goal: 190lbs - Currently: 190 lbs - 22.0% bf
    I used to be 141 lbs then put on 30lb in 3 months thanks to the helpful forum members. Now trying to maintain 190lbs but lower bodyfat.

    Mine was getting out of the shower after a tough session and looking for my towel, only to see a 60 year old over weight man flossing his balls with my towel. I pointed out to him what he had done and he apologised and offered me his towel, but i decided id rather drip dry then use his towel after seeing what he did to mine.
    Needless to say from now on when i go the gym, i take as crazy looking towel as i can find, so nobody mistakes it for theirs.

    Thought i didn't have any, but remembered when i joined my current gym after being out of training for about a year.

    Did 3 sets of dumbell rows and had to go outside for ten minutes because i was gonna throw up.

    Why in god's name did they end up hiring me to work there.

    I'm so jealous that you work in a gym. That's my dream.

    How are you not tempted to just go around deadlifting all day? Do you go up to guys and correct them on stupid shit they're doing?

    Well im on shift at the moment and earlier me and another guy here had a friendly pullup competition. Its good fun when it's not busy :P.

    As for correcting them, depends if what they're doing is going to kill them or not. A lot of the time its just stupid shit that wont hurt them or get them results, haha.

Well I kept noticing that my left arm was having struggling and my right was powerhousing the weight. As I was thinking if I dosed something wrong with my ph some guy came up to me and asked if I knew that I was curling two different weights.......I said "yup" finished my set then left. BTW im new to the forum.

    i used to mountain bike all the time but it doesn't really make you strong like bb i found out. i couldn't have done a "wheelie" for the life of me i don't think but there are a lot of big hills here, i mean steep, and none of them ever phased me. then i joined a pretty cool gym with a lot of serious lifters. i worked my ass off trying not to look like a girly man. about a month into it i was biking home the same way as a lot of times up this particularly steep hill. i just hit the bottom of it and you kinda pull back on the handle bars to push your leg in good to make the inclines.... i didn't realize i'd gotten stronger 'till all of a sudden i'm in the bushes with my bike on top of me thinkin' "holy shit i could never do that before". lol i looked around but i don't think anyone saw and i was more proud than embarrassed i think.

    that and years later when i started working out again people asking all the time "why do your workouts take so long?". well for quite some time i mistakenly thought like instead of doing 12, 10 , 8 of something n that was a set, i did that 3 times. 12, 10 , 8, 12, 10 , 8, 12, 10 , 8... with everything. i'd walk home on legs that felt like two big erections and sit at the comp with my arms shaking trying to type.
