I was finished my set of squats. A guy asked how old I was because he overheard me say that my son was getting married. I told him 46. He looked at me up and down and said “What do you do? I wouldn’t have guessed that old?” I just gave him the eyebrow raise (Like the Rock).
I needed to use the lat pull down. A guy was sitting using it and so I asked if I could work in. He told me he was doing a circuit training and that this was one of seven exercises he was doing in a row. I said OK, then he moved on to another exercise and so I did my set. He didn’t seem pleased, nor did I care frankly.[/quote]
That’s the funniest thing you’ve heard during a workout?
First one:
My appendix was about to rupture (I didn’t know), but went to the ER to be safe…
I strip down and the doc says “You look like you work out, you probably pulled a muscle”
Me: Are you psychic?
Doc: (laughs) no, why?
Me: Cause you diagnosed me without even really looking at me
Doc: (laughs) if it lasts longer than a day or two, come back
I leave, my appendix ruptures the next day - great diagnosis… /sigh
Second one:
I go in to see my GP for a physical (needed it for a job)
I strip down and he says “Are you on steroids?”
Me: No, why?
Doc: Cause all guys that are built are on steroids
(I don’t say anything)
After the exam he says “Tell the truth, are you on steroids”
Me: No
Doc: Seriously, I need to know what you’re taking
Me: I’m not taking steroids
Doc: Well good then, steroids are bad for you
Third one:
This one is my living hell…
WIFE: When are you going to stop taking all those supplements? You know they’re bad for you"
/sigh[/quote]
The first two probably happened because you were working out at the hospital…
ive been working out for a while at my gym now, and i’ve had a woman approach me and say “good stuff, u’ve been working out for a while now huh” (cuz she’d seen me around and this was her first time opening as i recall) i said “yea i’ve been going at it pretty hard now” and shes like “its totally working for you”
me — walks away…
I think I heard the dumbest comments today. I got asked by two different people in the gym today, while I was in the bathroom, if I could get them steroids. I mean what the fuck is wrong with people? lol.
I think I’m going to stop wearing cut offs, deez niggas are crazy.
On top of that a VERY skinny guy came up to me while I was doing pushdowns and asked me what I thought of some bullshit called Equistane? Dude’s my height and he said 170 lbs and is already taking a prohormone, come on people…
A friend and I used to do conditioning workouts in his driveway. Bring out two barbells along with a sled and a bunch of plates and do some circuits. So we’re in the middle of doing overhead presses when I see this old lady pull into her driveway next door, get out, look over at us and get the, “I’m about to say something really stupid” look on her face.
She walks right up to my friend and says, “What are you boys building over here?” He looks her in the eye and responds in dead-pan: “Muscle.” I almost dropped the bar on my head.
Side note: WTF could she possibly have thought we were building while doing overhead presses? Like maybe a house but we decided to start with the roof? I’m still trying to figure this one out.
I think the funniest moment during a workout for me would have to be the most embarrassing moment for me:
I’m finishing my workout with a few sets of barbell curls with my training partner. It wasn’t even much weight, maybe 95lb. for some finishing work. I’m in the middle of a rep, and out of nowhere, out of my mouth comes a slightly exaggerated and forceful “Teehee” towards the top of the curl. And no, not just a monotone “teehee”, but one in which my voice inflection rises to a high pitched girly “hee”.
My buddy: “What the FUCK was that?”…followed by laughing so hard tears came to his eyes.
All I could do was start laughing. Had never happened ever before that, nor has it happened ever since. I’m pretty sure I caught some odd looks with that one at the time.
except some football guys i know at my high school all are into this NOxplode/ Superpump 250 fad.
i shake my head at them secretly.
1/2 a year later, the fad has died down, i hear one say he needs to get more of one, i finally speak up, saying NO products are basically caffiene and sugar, and mostly just a marketing scam. you can just get a proper preworkout supp if you really want, (not that its needed, of course). They all jump up to defend it, with such a high concentration of BS that I wanted to laugh. finally ones going “oh yeah? well have you taken Fit For Life (a course at my school”
ME: No.
Him: Have you taken Exercise Science?
Me: No.
Him: (huge a-hole btw)Well then dont talk against use when we’re clearly better educated on this than you.
ME: ******(his name), man, its something i’ve seen numerous times from a bunch of different sources, and-
Random bro: Hey ******, this guy does loads of research and stuff…
Next thing i know I’m giving them a overview of creatine and what it does, etc, while they all are silent, for they expected me to bumble out some BS answer,
This happened to me the other week. I bought some shitty fish oil caps from the grocery store (buy one get one, free or some bullshit). I’m popping lots of pills through out the day. Go train. As I’m training I begin to sweat profusely and literally could smell the fish oil as it secreted out of my skin pores ! I was like wtf, I smell like tuna fish up in here. (at first I was in my ass stinks denial, looked around for old men to blame but was just lone me)
As I’m doing rack deadlifts and sweating even more, sitting behind is a gym trainer doing seated rows. He turns to his partner with a goofy look on his face like “Do you smell that ? I think some one works in a fish market or something” . I turn around laughing, no that’s me man, guess it’s from the mega dosing of Fuckin cheap ass fish oil caps! He was like do you chug fish oil lol?
On topic: I get a kick seeing the bro’s spot each other on the smith machine (fuck it, any machine), yelling “push, push, all you” while the poor dude goes for his 5th set of forced reps, using a weight he cannot lift once.[/quote]
Once at the varsity gym.
One guy was bobbing up and down (at speed) in the smith machine with 40kgs on the machine while he was being “spotted” by his training buddy. They saw me looking at them and they just smiled and said “men’s health”

This comment wouldn’t have been nearly as funny if he hadn’t actually said ‘lol’ at the end.
My friend got a free fitness assessment when he signed up.
But I had him use starting strength to get the basics right.
The PT who did the assessment told him to stop barbell exercises immediately and first build up his small muscles on the machines before he moves to more advanced exercises like the squat.

Fixed that for you.
That would explain their smiles at the time[/quote]
