  • A big dude at the gym could not keep his eyes off me today when I was doing Good Mornings (you bend over). "Wow', I thought - 'I must be looking fly these days'. I was wearing a pretty low v-neck, it's progressively getting MUCH looser. My left breast was exposed. Yep, the shirt slid to one side and down. My normal bras weren't clean and I was rocking a pretty sexy leopard bra.

    Yikes! I laughed it off pretty good, hiked my shirt up and winked at him. He ended up more embarrassed than me.

    Oh man!!!! Now thats a funny one!!!
  • Quote: Besides that though I think the biggest flop at the gym was when I miss judged how fast the tready was going, thinking I was awesome mind you, I took a wrong step and FLEW off it and into a wall.
    Yikes! I've seen someone do that before at the gym. It scared the crap outta me to see that. I was like "OMG are they okay???????" but still laughing under my breath because it was still kinda funny. Does that make me a bad person?? haha
  • Quote: my spotter walked off to get a drink (training in a spare room of a house) i was benching around 250lbs and at failure was left trapped on the bench with the bar on my chest shouting for him.
    Oh my gosh!!! I can't believe he left you like that! That must've been kinda scary......
  • meldogml84 - looooooool omg.. i can just picture that in my mind... hehe... sorry you got hurt, but dont you wish you had a video?? hehe
  • gymlee: ouch, that is a good reason to not go on the ice! I am afraid to go mountain biking now, I haven't done it in years, but a lot of that is due to my weight gain and not being able to go up hills.

    meldogm: you have ME laughing because I can totally relate to it all, that's totally how I felt. As far as the treadmill mishap, I almost had that happen the other day...I wasn't paying attention and I was at the back and felt the belt and looked and saw how far back I was and after that I stopped watching tv and looked at the timer. I can just see that happening to me. That must have hurt.

    slimmingsi: that would scare the crap out of me! That's a lot of weight to have stuck on your chest.

    FB: I love the way you handled that!

    gymlee: no that doesn't make you a bad person, I would probably be snickering under my breath but only because I could see it happening to me too.
  • I have this "vision" that I'm running on the treadmill, step on one of my shoelaces, and fall in the gym. For that reason, I tie my shoes obsessively when I'm on the treadmill.

    I'm a klutz in the gym, especially if I'm tired. I have a ton of bruises on my legs from exiting machines and hitting my legs on them.

    I used to do that too. Most of the time it was because I'm really short and getting into and out of the machines are kind of precarious.

    Thanks trooworld. I'm happy to know it doesn't make me a bad person

    I'm trying to think of some other silly stories but I can't think of any right now..... ooooo I think I have one! It was this one time at gymnastics I was doing back tucks into the pit that has all the foam squares and I had a mat in there so I wasn't just flipping into the pit and getting caught (because when you land in the pit the foam makes it hard to get out!) and when I was done I was in the pit tryin to get the mat out of the pit and out of nowhere my friend comes to help me and I had that mat over my head and she comes and pulls it up onto the floor but nearly taking my head off in the process! It was kinda funny because the mat when like bump bump bump along my head because she pulled it too fast. I don't know if that's funny to read or its one of those things you just had to be there for. haha

    mazza- Yikes! Really?? That had to hurt! It is kinda funny though. Probably wasn't that funny when it happened to you but for those who watched it, it probably was.
    You bet your bottom dollar it hurt! I was with my friends (soccer mates) and they didn't laugh, they were freaked out because my nose was hugely deviated and I couldnt notice it.

    *Gasp* OMG thats scary! Thankfully never broke my nose- I've fractured my right foot, my right fibula (the other bone in the shin), my left ankle (bone chips), and left elbow twice (one was a radial head fracture and the other was chipped a piece of bone off in my ulna) so I can understand the pain- but thats gotta be bad. I alway hate getting knocked in the face because it hurts worse than any of the other injuries I've had except maybe when I chipped the piece of bone off my ulna. That one was the worst ever. I literally got sick from the shock my body went into after the injury and nearly passed out. It was so bad.
  • Here's one that doesn't involve injuries!

    I was working out at the Y, sitting on one of the weight machines facing all the people on treadmills and bike machines and all. We were all just doing our thing when suddenly the power went out. Thankfully none of the treadmill-ers tripped or anything. Everyone just looked around like 'what now?'. I sat there, disappointed that the workout had been interrupted. Then I realized that the weight machine didn't acutally *use* electricity. So I just kind of smiled and continued with my routine as everyone else just stared at each other!
  • Yay doveyheart!!!! No injuries!!!! Your story gave me a little chuckle so thank you. Sometimes you can forget what machines use electricity in the gym if you're so into your routine haha I wouldn't put it past myself to have done the same thing

    Yeowch! Chipping an Ulna would hurt - since you use it lo lean on, like everything.

    So you fractured your actual calcaneus ( ankle )? My goooooord OW.
  • Quote: So you fractured your actual calcaneus ( ankle )? My goooooord OW.
    I guess? It was like right at the base where the ankle meets the metatarsils of the foot where all the bone chips were. I couldn't tell you how I did because I actually could walk on it and do all kinds of things but it really hurt. It was killing me for 7 months (the pain started in May of 05) before they could actually find it on the x-ray. They had to take two sets of x-rays over two trips to the orthopedist. First trip was in October 05 and the second was January 06 and they finally found it the second time around. It had already healed for the most part when I found out. It was awful.
  • I love this thread. It is so entertaining!
