Thread: Most embarassin moments of your Bodybuilding life

Mine was just puking after squats.

Check out this poor guy. Instead of taking a deep breath he does this... AHHH!

LOL

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.

No, that was nice but I made it outside. So more like this:

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.

hahahahaha bet that was funni hahaha

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!!

the other day i let out a big nasty fart doin deadlifts, kind of embaressed but i didnt think anybody noticed but my workout partner, and he had to evacuate the area

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.

It's so hard to pick one story. I am embarrassed for at least 90% of my life.

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.

My first prohormone cycle in 07, I was about a week in and just feeling it. I was at the "Y" and was having an intense curling session. 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.

When I was only able to blow a three-roper on the barbell after I made a deadlift PR.

For some reason this one made me LOL way harder than the one about the guys balls being out! ....

you were like..."yep!"....that's funny...that's what I'd do! hell no you're not gonna catch me in a mistake! "yea I'm a little weaker on this arm so I ..." yea right....

Goddam that's funny

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.

Leg pressing a little around 1000lbs with my mp3 on high. Finished my set and my buddy said, "did you realize you let out the loudest fart". Yea, I was impressing the ladies that day.
