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.

oh man…i started laughing when i read yours…don’t worrry man you not the only one that had a “teehee” episode
Just finished my workout, at the end this guy was around and my stuff was in the way so as i was leaving i said ‘sorry mate, im pretty messy’ He see’s my shaker and says ‘you taking like all the protein and shit dude’
I kind of looked at him like ‘your kidding right?’ considered explaining peri-workout nutrition and then muttered ‘eh something like that :/’ and he laughed.
I love my gym.
Earlier some bros were using the power rack for curls when i wanted to do rows.

Funny, you would never hear of Dave Tate benching with his feet in the air. The amount of “cheating” you gain from keeping your feet in the air is minimal, while the risk of something bad happening is higher. Cons outweigh the Pros I’m afraid
Last year I was training at the local wellness center while I was in between jobs. Where I live there is a huge South Asian Population. So picture a lot of skinny fat brown guys all doing stupid crap all the time, curls in the squat rack, 3x a week arm workouts, Way too much chest work, none workout their legs, etc.
And they all look the same year after year, haha.
One time I see this skinny brown guy at the preacher curl with a dumbbell in hand, like a 15 pound one, loudly proclaiming to his “Brahs” how “I lift light weight to get ripped!” I just turned to my partner and started laughing…
Or another time at the LA Fitness I now go to; I’m doing chest with my brother and we are just starting on Flat Bench, when this brown guy comes up to our bench and oblivious to the fact that we are there, starts unracking our weight. I’m just like “Umm we are using this.” Shocked, he apologizes and leaves to go do something else. My brother and I finish our sets and go to the chest press machine and he’s using it, I ask him how many sets he has left, he says 3, then chirps in with this gem:
“Funny how that works, you were using my machine, now I’m using yours and you have to wait.”
Oh I’m sorry champ, I didn’t realize that bench had your name on it. Haha
Me training with this one young guy, kinda knows what he’s doing, just needs to eat a crap ton more, but doesn’t want to lose hit hawt abz. We are working chest and bis, and this guy comes up to us asking my friend what his routine is like. He says he trains back and tris together and chest and bis together and this guy is like “That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard of. Why are you doing it THAT WAY?” Guy must weigh like 140 pounds soaking wet…
Two 140lb. skinny fat kids were attempting to do clean and press in the squat rack with like 95lbs. except it was two tens and a five because one of them wasn’t strong enough to do 95 so they were taking 10lbs. off each set. They are doing this for like 10 or 15 reps a set with HORRIBLE form - essentially just reverse curling it with body english and unevenly pressing it up - just BAD.
I am doing snatch grip deadlifts on the platform nearby. Right in the middle of my second set (225) the “stronger” one comes up to me and says, “um, that’s not how you deadlift”
So I finished my set and asked him to “show me how”. The little fucker asked me to take one of the 45’s off each side!
I cut it short at that point and told him to fuck off. The little bastards gave me dirty looks for the rest of their workout.

Doing some dumbell rows with a friend and said after when he was trying to get that last one “Pretend that’s your baby mama’s heart you are ripping out right there!!”
He started laughing and giving me the WTF face, and dropped it on the floor.
I was watching this 14 year old kid doing standing barbell curls and I figured I’d help him out a little by telling him he should’nt lift his elbows or upper arms almost parrallel to the ground and that keeping his elbows tucked in would be more effective for biceps. His dad then gives me a dirty look and says hes doing it to improve his cleans…then I continued with my workout.
Having just got back in the gym 4 weeks into it, I am doing a tricep pushdown with a new bump showing up around my elbow, fellow walks by I call out to him (while still doing my set mind you), “you see that right there?”, he says he nods, “Thats’s new”.
I was working the fitness desk one time and it is right next to the hyperextension machine. That was pretty cool because alot of the pretty ladies used it alot, the view was spectacular sometimes. Anyways, this member who is the bodybuilder type that is a friend of mine, walks up while this mid 20 something hot blonde in tight spandex pants was doing her routine. I knew him pretty well, so when he told me that “it was a good thing he doesn’t work at that gym, because i would get in alot of trouble.” while looking at the blondes beautiful backside, i wasn’t at all suprised. Good thing she had her headphones on. lol

x4 mom too. even after extensively going through in incredible detail about everything and having the backing of my neighbour who is a doctor. oh wells.
One old dude (who’s not a bad guy really) often says “working legs again?!?” As if he hasn’t noticed the 20+ people dotted around the gym that spend their whole time just doing curls.
Not a spoken one as such but occurred in the gym:
Training with my brother doing some pull ups. He couldn’t manage the last rep but decided he wanted to get to the top and do the negative portion slowly. Me being the helpful older sibling grabbed him by his sides and helped him up. He starts vibrating a bit halfway up though and at the top where his arse is directly in front of me lets one rip right in my damn face.
Nasty.
Some douchebag idiot squatting like 185 in running shoes comes up to me. I’m doing military presses.
Idiot: Hey man, can you give me a spot?
Me: Sure, what do you want me to do.
Idiot: Ok, what we’re doing here is SQUATS.
He puts so much emphasis on the word “squat” as if I had no idea what it was.
