So the other day I was at the gym doing some power jerks and like a giant moron i smashed 85kg up into the bottom of my jaw and nearly KO'd my dumbarse self in front of the curl monkeys. D'oh.

Just wanted to know your best/most embarrassing gym story?
 
I farted deadlifting in my last session. Not on a par with nearly knocking myself out though.
 
I was finishing up my leg workout about 2 years ago, and cut one on a leg press. I mean...it was loud and nasty. The bad part was there were a bunch of hot chicks on elipticals about 10 feet from me, and it stunk so bad they went to the other side of the gym and made a big thing out of it.
 
Breathing in a lot of cold air makes me want to puke, literally. So when I'm out in my lifting shed in the winter, I always have a rough time for the first 5-10 minutes. I've puked or dry heaved 3-4 times now after racking the bar near my neck on Front Squats or Push Press in the winter months. I don't know what it is, but the combo of cold weather and a bar resting on my neck makes me want to puke.
 
Back when I started failing on my sohp, I decided it might be a good idea to give push pressing a shot to get through the set. I just ended up slamming the bar straight into my chin... XD
 
For a while, I went to the gym and didn't do any squats, deadlifts OR bench presses :redface:
 
I've farted while Squatting more times than I care to remember. Same with the Bench Roll of Shame. I've cracked myself on the chin doing Push Press, though not to the point of almost knocking myself out. And I've failed during a Squat and dropped the Bar behind me.

But the all-time PR has to be splitting my head open on a Cable Cross-Over machine. I don't know what I'm more embarrassed by; the fact that I needed staples in my head or the fact that I was doing Cross-Overs in the first place...:redface:
 
I train in my garage, but I was being lazy when stripping weight off the bar and just dropping them on the floor, when one of my 10kg bumpers bounced and knocked over my chalk bucket.

:icon_sad:

I was pretty embarrassed and PO'ed, but luckily my friends were there to make fun of me for the rest of the week. I cough every time I think of myself cleaning up all that damn chalk.

:mad:

I pulled my hips forward too early on a snatch and it led to me trying to get under the bar when it wasn't clear and I cracked myself in the forehead right above my right eye. Gave myself a small black eye.
 
I've grazed my balls a few times on the clean. Not a comfortable experience...
 
I sprained my ankle on a stationary bike once. Jogging pants somehow got caught inside the pedal while I was pedaling super fast. Painful and humiliating.
 
I've permanently made my nose crooked by power jerking while distracted.
 
Have farted whilst deadlifting, chinned myself during push presses and my personal favourite, stepped on a treadmill without realising it was actually moving. The last one was technically the fault of the person who had been on it before me, but was embarrasing and painful nonetheless!

I was gonna say this was the best response yet. Then justice for all took in up a level with the very next response. :eek:
 
During the dip part of a muscle up my hand slipped causing me to crash into the pullup handles, only holding on with my left hand and my right sided clavicle squashed against the bar.
 
I hope this is more common than I think, but when I first started lifting towards the end of highschool I was "that guy" doing nothing but bench press and curls 4 times a week.

Thank God it only lasted 2-3 weeks until someone working at the gym had a word with me. Thanks, buddy.
 
I was lifting in an unfamiliar gym and went to do some pull-ups on the cross member of a squat rack. I did not really look up to see that there were two cross members only a foot or so apart. I pulled up right into the beam I didn't seen, hard, so hard my neck heart, I literally stumbled back.

Ruined the entire lift.

You're lucky it only lasted 2-3 weeks. For some people it lasts a lifetime.
 
I remember when I first started benching, I didn't put on the safety pegs at the end, and the weights on the left side all fell off, and I felt like an idiot because it made the biggest sound, and every1 was lookin at me lmfao. and the worst part, I was only benching like 75 ibs ... l0lllllllll fml
