This isn’t a gym moment but it’s worth mentioning here…
I was at a track and field invitational throwing discus. It’s quite cold and rain/sleeting. My hands were numb from cold. Who knows why they didn’t cancel the thing… Ironically, the name of the invitational was “Arctic Blast”.
Anyway, it’s my first throw. I step in to the circle, place the disc in my hand, and start the back-swing to begin my rotation. About 130 degrees through the first step, the disc just falls out of my hand and hits the very back of the net, meaning it traveled in the exact opposite direction as intended.
The only reason I noticed was because I didn’t feel weight in my hand anymore, so after the first step, I stopped, looked at my hand, and saw that it was empty. I just kind of stood there for a few seconds, then looked at the back of the circle for my discus. I saw it laying there and looked up at the official and said, “Is that a foul?” She said yes…
My coach, parents, and a few teammates were watching and laughing hysterically.[/quote]
ZOMG ahhhhhhgagagagaggaaggaahhhh oh oh uh oh hew… omg i never laughed so hard in my life. how about you STFU and GTFO
I have shit my pants a little doing heavy deads… I had to bunny hop to the bathroom. Its a mixture between heavy weight and the belt hitting my stomach… sometimes nuggets fall out.
Again, nothing terribly bad the gym (other than the usual farting while deadlifting - very unladylike - and hitting myself in the chin and nose while doing jerks), but I did compete in a few 5 and 10K runs last year. These take place on a local common, so are on grass, path and trail rather than road. Now I’m not a good runner - I average a 10 minute mile - but I enjoy the experience. On this one occassion, however, I became transfixed by the wobbling bottom of a girl who was running just in front of me. How did such a big-bottomed girl get ahead of me? I wondered. Well, at least my own posterior doesn’t look that bad, I thought. I’ll be past her in a moment.
Well, my Schadenfreude bit me on the arse and the next thing I knew was that I was sprawling in the dirt, having beem so fixated upon the large, wobbling bottom that I failed to notice the tree root over which I just tripped.
The fat girl finished ahead of me.
My first time ever power cleaning, I cleaned it up and it made a giant C motion. When I caught the bar on my shoulders, it sent me flying backwards, landed on my ass.
Once I cleaned with no bumper plates and dropped it from shoulder height. The crash was so loud, the whole room vibrated and everyone from the other room ran in, looking to see if I was okay.
Tore my pants snatching once.
Tried doing decline sit ups with an 80lb db. I reached next to me to pick it up, but the torque just pulled the whole bench, along with myself, toppling over.
I tried to impress my gf when we first started dating. I was doing pushpresses and nailed myself in the chin so hard my teeth went into my lip and my mouth was filled with blood. My gf passes out when she sees blood.
I was doing weighted pushups with a backpack with 100lbs. I put it on quickly and without thinking sat down on a bench. The weight of the bag pulled me straight back and down over the bench, onto the floor.
I was putting weights away. I bent over to pick up a five pounder, got up really fast and tagged my head on the bar at the incline bench station. I knocked myself out and woke up on the floor with several people over me.
Once on a treadmill I got off to one of the sides while it was stilling running at full speed, to tie a lace or something similar. Guess I lost balance, because I touched down accidentally with one of my feet and got pwn’ed pretty bad… Fell down on my knees, didn’t try to get off it though, tried to get up instead. Looked like a murder scene afterwards with blood from my knees and shins all over the rubber. I got up though, ran for a few seconds, and pushed the STOP button. Now I do my stretching and dynamic warm-ups instead of running before I work out… That shit scares me.

Just be glad they came out in such nifty packages. Whatever you do, don’t take too much creatine or you’ll have to switch from the bunny hop to the oh-so-obvious I-shit-in-my-pants waddle.

Can you sign my copy of the Darwin Awards? Once you get in that’ll be worth something I bet.
I was coming off the 45 degree back extension. I had just completed my last set using 135lbs worth of plates. That is considered “heavy” for me and I held my last rep in the “up” position as long as feasible, then lowered down. Every time I do the exercise I get a rush of blood to the head, but for whatever reason, when I started to walk away from it, I tripped over my own foot because my head was spinning. I did an overly dramatic mid-air somersault and busted my ass in the middle of the gym. Most people just saw the somersault the fail that followed.
