Three seconds? You can keep it under three seconds??? Damn, you've got the will of a saint. I'm lucky if I can keep it under three minutes.

yeah the 3 minute stare rule is more like it.

lol i executed to 3 secs rule on some woman at the gym today and everytime i stared at her ass she would look at me lol it was kinda funny, but i didnt really care what she thinks

lol..staring at gym chicks

I got on the hyper extension machine swear to god i had it set picked up a 25 for a warm up set do 1 rep then I go flying threw the 25 across the room and almost smack my face in the floor...lol..always tchecks it now though

i have got some weight stuck on me while doing bench press when i had no spotter(bad idea)... but the woerest is when i was doing calf excerise on the smith machine.. i put the smooth side of the weight on top and put a wooden pience on it.. i do like 2 reps, then the wooden piece flyes under from me.. and i feel back ward.. i had back pain for couple of days... but i don't think its perm, and i am not doing that excersie again

After not lifting for awhile, I got siked up and whet to the gym with a few friends. First thing I did was walk over to the preacher bench, grabed the bar and immiediately tor some lats. Ouch!
That was a few years ago and I alway warm up/ streeetch now.

When I first began going to the gym, I went to use the leg press, and there were about 5 45 lb weights on each side. I looked around and didnt see anyone..tried to make eye contact with anyone in the area to see if someone was in the middle of a set, and didnt see anyone, so I began taking all the weights off. This HUGE dude comes running from the bathroom yelling that he wasnt done yet, and how insulted he was that I thought he had left all those weights on the machine. I was completely mortified.
