I've seen a couple of people try to stop on the treadmills without pushing the stop button and running backwards right off the thing and into the wall. Hahaha!!!

Some lady that ALWAYS seems to be on the stairstepper likes to lean forward on the bars and lets her shorts and undy shorts climb up her butt, she's about 70 years old, then she gets off and does some sort of Irish jig dance up and down the cardio area i can hardly hold in my laughter from this scene its one reason i no longer do cardio over there

The funniest thing that I ever had happen to me was when I use to work out at my friend's shed. I was squatting in the gym with about 325lbs. What I didn't know is that my lifting buddy oil the bars because they were rusting. You can guess what happened. One side of the plates fell off and it sounded like a bomb. It seem to happen in slow motion. In the mirror in the gym you should have seen my face when the other side slid off a 1 1000% of a second later. I didn't move for about 3 minutes thinking that every bone in my back was broken. To my surprise I was completely ok.
The next topic here is a bit of a rant. Don't read if your pro roids. I use to train at this gym when I was in my early twenties. There was this guy in the gym that was always giving me advice. He looked good but his build was due to his steroid use. He was on them almost year round. He was candid with his use. For a contest he would use heavily and after he would just use a little to maintain. He said four months out of the year you should be completely clean.
I know what he looked like before roids and he wasn't in any kind of shape. When he went off the roids he seem to lose everything and he looked like a out of shape boob. When he was juicing he sure looked good though. That's when he was full of advice.
Well here it is over 25 years later and I run into to the encyclopedia of physical culture. He looked like a guy that never worked out in his life. He said that he hasn't used roids in ages and that training seemed like a waste of time without the drugs. I thought that last comment was the funniest thing I ever heard concerning bodybuilding.

Two weeks ago, one of the other trainers who is a competitor comes in, takes off his cap that he always wears. The top third of his hair is bright, bright OU red! Trainer Tom asked him where Clarabell was!  B |

Few years ago, a strong man competitor trained at my gym. Every time he loaded the bar, people around him stoped training and looked at him! One day, as he did some bench press, he loaded 3 plates each side for repsss, 4 plates each side for 12 reps, and finally 5 plates... but before his set, he realized that every one at the gym was looking at him... so he stood up, made an angry noise and added 1 more plate each side (6 total) it was the perfect silence in the gym! So he returned on the bench... and just before doing his set... he stood up again and added an another plate!!! (7 each side). People became nuts! ... so he returned under the bar... a big smile appeared on his face... and rather than pushing the bar... he just did chin up on it! ;D Man that guy was crazy!!! Mo |

 so he didn't bench? Yes he did, but he previously unloaded the bar and press 5 plates each side for reps! An animal… PS: I never seen him doing triceps kick back ;D Mo |

Tim, Remember that time you told me about that kid that had 14 plates on each side of the leg press.When he pushed the weight up,and moved the locks,then started to go down,it shot him right out of the seat.

Scott,that kid is lucky he still walking around!!  Here`s one that`s not funny but very scary. Back in the 80`s, there were two really hardcore gyms in my hometown of Springfield Mass.,Central City Gym,and directly across the street on an angle,Big Daddy`s Gym. The owner of CCG had gotten into some trouble with the law,and some gangster types, and sold the gym,the woman who bought it let it just go down the tubes in a heartbeat, so most of the serious trainess went across the street to BDG, where the owner was a powerlifter, and a good friend of most of us. OK.........now that we all left CCG,and most of the big guys were at BDG,CCG was like a ghostown...........there was however, one big black guy named Bill Tolliver who still trained there,I guess he might have liked being the big fish in a small pond because Jeff King,Chris Aceto,Matt Dufresne,and Rich Roy,all national level bodybuilders trained at BDG. Well,Big Bill which most everyone called him,was a huge guy and would be noticed most anywhere as he weighed at least 300 solid pounds,with a tiny waist, and some of the roundest and biggest delts I have ever seen on anybody to this day. Bill was in the mood to squat heavy, but had no spot at the "Ghostown", so paid a days rate at Big Daddys, and popped over to train. After his warmups Bill had 715 pounds on the bar ,which was loaded on your standard power rack,bolted into the floor, and connected to the wall at the top of the unit. He recruited about 3-4 of the gyms biggest inhabitants for spotters, and all was silent as he psyched himself up,approached the bar,shouldered the weight,walked it out with ease,and descended into a nice,slightly below paralell squat,popped out of the hole like toast out of a toaster,walked it back in,put the left side on the pin,then all of a sudden somehow caught his little finger between the pin and the barbell.........he shrugged his right shoulder, which made the bar hit the pin and bounce back up over the pin, as he walked away looking at his injured digit............all the while the whole gym had been in the power room watching this event, because it was probably the strongest squat done in Springfield since Carlton Snitkin lived in town. As Big Bill walked away, and the 715pound barbell continued to fall, almost looking like it was in slow motion to me,the power rack ripped itself from its roots on the wall, and then the floor,and was coming down right behind Bill with such force, that it looked like a giant mousetrap slamming down on some poor unsuspecting mouse,Bill had no clue that this was happening and was only concerned with his finger...........the rack came crashing down to hit the floor with such force, that it just barely missed Bill by an inch or so, sending dust from the floor to the ceiling.......he had no idea how close he came to being killed, but my heart was pumping Kool Aid!! I`ve seen a lot of crazy and dangerous stuff in my time in the gyms, and at meets, but this one was the one that I will never forget. |
