Embarrassing Things You've Seen/Done In The Gym

[ElementalVirago]

So let's talk about some of the embarrassing things that go on in the gym. I'm not necessarily talking about goofy lifts or cockamamie ideas, but, like, actual embarrassing situations you've encountered. Like...

"Today I almost shart myself in the squat rack."

Not that...I did that, today, or anything. I mean, it wasn't me. No, I wouldn't do that. It was, like, some other person.

Ok, I did almost shart myself during squats today. So what have you guys done, or even seen? If you don't want to admit it, just say "I have this friend who almost shart herself in the squat rack" and I swear, no one will ever know it was you.

Was going to do standing calf raises in the smith for the first time, smith has a top bar and well i didnt think about its height and that iam 6.5.. So got a good stretch in bottom position, exploded up and hit my head really hard into the top bar and almost blacked out ;P

Had a 30 lb standard bar on top of my squat rack (I use it for trunk twist), I went to adjust the rack because it looked uncentered and Bam! It came crashing down on my bald dome, workout was over....lol

I pinched the hell out of both hands, loading 45lb plates on a barbell, I think during 2006 or 2007. Blood was pouring out. It was gruesome. I still have the scars.
