What's the craziest thing you ever saw happen in a gym?

manlet let to work in with tall guy

black guy shouting "KUNTA!" between reps

Some guy with a bar on his back that looked like he was trying to sit for about 12 times.
Crazy commitment tho

I almost passed out. Was going to make a thread about it but I thought I might as well say it here. I did my standard 10 minute cycling warm up and went to go do some squats. After I completed the first set my vision went hazy and I felt like I was going to pass out. Stumbled out of the gym area and went into the disabled bathrooms and lay on the ground. I thought I was having a stroke or something, so I unlocked the bathroom door in case I passed out. 5 minutes later I was back on my feet feeling fine again

Any idea what the fuck happened to me?

Could have just been low blood sugar, as indicated when you felt normal again after laying down, but normaly your face becomes really cold during it because there is no blood pumping through it. Then again I'm no doctor, but I wouldn't become to worried about it, unless it happens again soon

Walked into the gym last week and someone was using my squat rack.

>>40986887

>>40986660
>Any idea what the fuck happened to me?
happens very often after squats or legpresses, you had a syncope. sometimes also if you didn't eat and your bloodsugar falls.

what happen is that your blood pressure becomes so low rapidly that there isn't enough blood in the head, thus feeling lightheaded, everything is white and you have a cold sensation. in squats and legpress, your whole blood goes into your legs, if you stand up quick without letting your blood get back gradually into your body, like sitting down, putting your legs up etc. you'll experience it.

I had it numerous times, when starting to train, laying in the toilett like a crackhead. eating dextrose and putting your legs against the wall, to let the blood flow back in the head, helps.

Saw a dude re-rack a back squat into one of those old-school squat racks that angle down from the top, and have solid cylinders as bar rests.

He was wide gripping, and caught the tip of his right pinky between the bar and the bar rest.

Not sure what it was about as the taller guy then left. Everyone just carried on with their workouts. Seen both guys since but not at the same time.

Not particularly weird but not something you expect to see.

so what? you need e bench to do skullcrushers, leave him alone.

if it was a bench press bench with the safeties attached and everything then you could have told him to find another one as you need this one.

I had something like this too, once. I was doing squats and when I got to the ATG part, I suddenly tumbled over backwards with no recollection of how it happened (definitely not a balance issue). Fortunately the powercage had rails because it was like 2.5 plates, but everyone was like "yo dude maybe you should lay off that weight, do something easier" and it was annoying as fuck.

Lads, I've been working out at home for a couple months with only two 5 kg dumbbells. I was up to an insane amount of reps and at the end of the session my biceps were always super hot and feeling like they were about to explode. However now that I've joined a gym and lift way heavier dumbbells I no longer that feeling.

Any advice lads? I feel empty without it.

>>40987918

Yeah, eat before you workout. It won't happen again if it's low blood sugar that caused it.

do barbell?

It's a common occurrence at my gym, where this mid 50s guy practices a form of martial arts with the cable machines.

He'll bring his own attachments and use them with his martial arts routine. It's very elaborate stuff. He kind of moves around like the staff wielding black guy in the Walking Dead. He'll just flail around and make a few kicks here and there, as if he was fighting a posse of invisible orcs. It looks goofy, but looking closer I can see pin point precision with his strikes.

He is the most dangerous man in the gym

eat before workout and after doing squats or legpress, rest for 10 minutes or sit on the mat and put your legs up agaisnt the wall, to let the blood get back in the body.

Someone deadliftin 500 pounds cold just to win a bet.

Guy doing a bar muscle up on one of those slanted double pull-up bar things. His arms slid through at the top and snapped both his forearms like twigs.

Another time someone was doing wife grip supinated deficit pull-ups. Like five seconds after he was told "that's a good way to hurt yourself" the whole gym heard his biceps tendons pop.

They just curled up into his arms.

That happened to me too once. I had just joined a gym, total dyel, hadn't really worked out in god knows how long. Started feeling light headed, so I sat down on the floor. Next thing I remember, I come to, having apparently slumped down face first onto the floor from a sitting position.

I must not have been out for very long. There were at least half a dozen other people there and nobody noticed.

>>40986660
Yo, seriously get that shit checked by a Dr. It's PROBABLY nothing but that could be a heart problem and you might pull a Zyzz if you ignore it. Seriously don't kill yourself through negligence. Anything like that you should get checked.

>>40987318
Wouldn't have to be much to break the skin and cause profuse bleeding. Even just 1 plate would fuck up your finger really bad.

>>40986660
if you're an actual DYEL, it's a pretty simple thing to happen, where blood/O2 demands are higher elsewhere and your body isn't quite used to it.

If you ever feel it beginning to happen again, cross your legs, tense up your arms and legs to increase peripheral vascular resistance and shunt some more blood to your central system, should abort the syncope pretty quickly.

>>40987363
>i'm holding back tears so i make my way out the back door and hide in some bushes and try to compose myself and i haven't been back in 2 months just due to this incident

no, not weird at all

>>40987377
it's a /fit "joke"
no one cares what you wear

I have a few. I've been going to the same gym at the same time for almost 2 years and have gotten used to dumb shit. I go around 10-11am m/t/th/f so you get an idea of the kind of crowd I'm working with. It's a 24/7 gym and I work nights.

The first is a huge guy (fat and strong) who only uses machines. At first your like "lel strong" but this mother fucker collects every fucking 45 plate in the gym before adding it to leg press or whatever retarded shit he's doing that day. The most mild.

I've seen multiple people snap their shit up. Just the other week there is a guy who I've been seeing for about 3 months. Sometimes he lifts beside me. This day he strapped on his belt to deadlift an almighty 225 and looked like a scared cat. He screamed and dropped to the floor. Haven't seen him again yet. I've seen 3 people do this exact thing in my time so far.

Craziest thing I ever saw, however, was someone doing OHP on a stupid rubber ball (what the fuck, why?) and with a decent amount of weight (165 I think). He lost balance and fell and it landed right on him. No idea what happened to him, whether he died or was paralyzed or what but I never saw him again. It happened fast so I didn't see how it hit him but I remember he out fucking cold and the front desk qt called the ambalamps and wouldn't let anyone see him.

I saw two fat fucks lying on the mats today playing with their phones while occasionally doing some crunches and air bikes. Literally 30 seconds of exercise then 10 minutes on the phone.

I was gonna go over there to do some planks but I figured the made the area around them smell like shit so I didn't do any ab exercises today. Thanks for that cunts

>>40987808

I did that once after not eating for close to 24 hours, then running a mile and doing squats. I've also done something similar when I've gotten overheated while doing cardio. My BP is pretty low too (108/60). Did you feel really uncomfortable and have your heart pound beforehand?

The thing is, I've heard here and elsewhere that instead of lighter weights I should go for heavier ones with less repetitions, so that's what I've done. I do them until my form breaks down completely and yet that's still not enough. With the lighter ones I used to go for over an hour for just biceps, it felt amazing.

I'm considering having a second workout today because of this.

Probably a 50 year old literal retard pulling his pants down to his ankles to piss in the urinal

>>40987508
He asked for a spot squatting in a power rack? Why couldn't he just use the safeties if he couldn't get it? Is this a normal thing? I think it's pretty weird to see someone spotting a squat outside of some event, I would not be comfortable with that

I once watched a guy try to kick the handle of the cable machine. It was about shoulder high and he couldn't quite do it. He kinda gave up and just taped to machine with his foot maybe 6 inches off the ground. This was after shadow boxing with 5 lb dumbbells in his hands for a good half hour.

A dude benching 1pl8. With suicide grip. WITH HIS FEET ON THE BENCH.
Literally WTF.

That same dude then set an incline bench in a dumbbell corner and banged out some half-rep db presses WITH HIS FEET ON THE db RACK

He then capped it off with a superset of ez bar curls and cable curls. Yeah, an actual superset. He curled, then he went over to the cable machine and curled, then he went back to the bar and curled some more.

Asian manlet walks in and scream i'm half natty 10k then walks to squat rack and proceeds to strip himself down to nothing then started to do squats, everyone in the gym just watched him stunned and i got the video of it and sent it to a couple kids then it spread around campus like aids. He then got arrested and it was discovered hew as on acid during the incident. He then died two weeks later. This is all true btw. I can link the article if anyone cares, he killed himself by driving into a cement ditch.

Craziest?
>go to gym to discuss signing up
>want no training, just to use their equipment/facilities
>offer monthly money to use their leg stuff

They explained that the only way to do that is to take their classes, and if I graduate into their other programs, I could have a membership which allowed me to use the gym without their trainers.

>tfw I wouldn't fit in anyway, they are all below 5'10"

One sure sign that you are in a crossshit gym - they insist that they 'aren't a crossfit gym', but still have a cult-like feel, and insist that their classes are valuable to everyone.

Haha reminds me of a brain damaged dude at my gym. He got hit by a car and is now socially/mentally inept. He always goes to the shoppers next door and downs two 40s before he hits the gym. When he's in the gym he does two sets of leg raises on the dip bar thing and then wanders around looking for his "friend". If he finds him he will do one of these things:
>dry hump him while he's doing push-ups
>sit on him while he's benching
>shadow box inches from his face
>wrestle him
Poor guy he harasses almost got kicked out for roughhousing in the gym but we all had his back. We had to sit down with the manager and explain the situation and they said they'd try to get it across to him that he can't do that shit in the gym.

>>40990139
I don't go to that gym anymore but I my friends work there so I'll go with them every so often. Here's another funny tard story. No green text cause I'm at work.

I was doing my pullups and my friend finished his set so he moved on to the next thing. I'm attaching the weights yo my.belt when I see my water bottle start shaking like Jurassic Park. About the same time you'd hear the trex roar I hear an insanely loud giggle. Tard comes marching over, jumps up onto the pullup bar and immediately falls flat on his face. Gets up giggling his ass off and fist bumps me before stomping off to do whatever.

Why?!

>>40987371
I meant a flat bench press, not a regular weight bench. I should have been more specific but I thought the context would have covered that.

As I said he began using it for skullcrushers after I asked him if he was going to use it for benching, so I had already proceeded to do a dumbell press

There was this older guy who used to go to a 24 hour fitness I would go to. There was a small group of us that went late at night to avoid the crowds.

Everytime I would see him he would be doing squats on the smith machine near one of the windows and if anyone left weights on the machine he would angrily throw the weights off the Smith and stare at whoever left them there. This guy was an oddball, and looked like he may have been a big gym guy when he was young but now that he was in his 60s-70s his muscles had atrophied and all that was left was anger and resentment for people around him.

He was actually a huge douche bag and very distracting because of his constant shitty behavior.

Anyways, one night somebody left weights on the smith machine and there he goes with his old pissed off expression and starts throwing the weights off the machine, but somehow he managed to throw one of the weights too hard and a 45lb weight ended up going through a window out of the building (we are on the second floor). Everyone in the weight room stops and just looks at him and he starts cussing out the guy who left the weights on the smith machine like its his fault. The only two employees end up coming up stairs and and kicking him out.

Pretty sure they terminated his gym membership because I never saw him again.

You're absolutely a sperg but I never understood how working in is faster. After every set it be a complete pain to add/remove a ton of plates for the next guy, rinse, repeat. Unless you're sitting for 5 minutes or something ridiculous between sets it's not worth it.

>>40986280
At a uni gym, the beginning of every semester (except for summer) is pretty much like two new years and it's flooded with a bunch of students who want to start exercising but then never come back after a few weeks until the next semester starts. The worst is women running around doing retarded exercises with 5lb dumbbells in the lifting area. We literally have a cardio floor with a space for them but instead they choose to get in the way and occupy half the benches doing yoga/curling.

Nothing wrong with any of those you retard. As someone who used to work at a gym we'd much rather see someone be smart and take long rests when they know they can't handle it instead of overdo it like they got something to prove then have to call an ambulance.

>>40991741
Trust me. No one cares and you shouldn't either. And anyone who isn't a cunt who thinks he owns the gym will more than understand. Even the most /fit/ guys I know rest for 4-5 minutes if it's what they need to finish their sets.

It helps if you get up and slowly walk around the gym while pretending to hold invisible watermelons under your arms.

Back when my gym didn't have air conditioning we opened the windows to let in some air. I was doing squats when suddenly a pigeon flew in and crashed straight into a mirror.

It's crop bursted open and all bunch of seeds were strewn across the floor. Saw some asshole laughing. The bird was clearly suffering so I tried to kill it by twisting it's neck. That didn't work though because birds have pretty extreme neck mobility.

one time i was doing my 20 minute run on the treadmill before the real stuff. dude on the treadmill in front of me starts flopping around and running really shittily. i look at his treadmill and he's been on there 50 minutes, 5mph speed. all of a sudden he falls like he just got shot in the brain, no movement at all.

nothing happens for 5 seconds so i yell at the desk lady. she calls 911. he starts moving and groaning a bit, breathing very heavily.

EMTs arrive a few minutes later. dude had a heatstroke was their best guess. wasn't all that hot, just figured he was a bitch.

There's some dickhead at my gym who fucked up while roiding, his arms have grown, but not in a good way, they feel as soft as marshmallows. So this girl approaches him while he's using a curl machine to ask how many set's he's got left, he says it's his last set, puts the machine on 24kg, 2 reps in he's literally yelling as if he's getting his shit pushed back up his colon by a t-rex. He drops the handles after the third rep and gets up off the machine as if he just broke a world record. The girl takes a napkin and a spray bottle of cleaning product and cleans off the whole machine, then she puts the weight on 38kg, does 12 reps with perfect form, then she gets up and tells the guy that she's going to kick his nuts up to his throat if he ever tries to act cocky around her again with his bitch strength and inflated arms. Needless to say everyone but the dickhead burst into tears from laughter and he hasn't been to that gym ever since. I saw him once in the other decent gym in the city, he had a look of pure embarrassment when I walked up to him and asked if he had done any progress on his curls after the incident with the girl.

This is not true... It depends on the bench alignment. The only flat bench I can use over 225 lbs is pic related... an ER bench, or a clone.

the hooks are basically above my shoulders when I set up... not behind my head. thus, I don't have to "pull the bar forward" with my shoulders before the press.

>it saved my press, bro's.

He would've killed one if he had a barbell like that. He got one right in the solarplex, which I think is why they all didn't jump on him at once.

This dude at my gym a few months back had a heart attack on the treadmill and hit his head. His mom was calling out to him "I'm right here baby! Come on anon!" Etc. it was real sad the guy died

you sure it wasn't a "push press" ?

Where it *looks* as if she is pressing it, but merely drops under it and supports it at arm's length ?

That's just how it is. I blame the university for giving us a shitty gym. Only 2 power racks that you have to do squats, deadlifts, and fucking pens lay rows. Also no Oly lifts, mainly power cleans

This shit is amazing, thank god my small town small has this.

some guy takes a bench and puts it under the smith machine, loads up 10 kg on either sides, and starts benching it, but instead of locking out at the top he would launch it up into the air and catch it again

he NEARLY missed it once

One of them let his set slip and shattered all the toes on his right foot. His friend tried to stop him but the momentum of 3 plates carried him and he ended up falling onto his plates and winding himself. I suppose bydlo 2 is lucky he didn't crack his ribs.

Well I've crushed my finger with a weight and bled everywhere, and the other day I saw a woman in spandex laying on her back and 'reverse squatting' a smith machine bar up towards the ceiling.

I've had this happen from deadlifting before. I braced so hard and my blood pressure was so high that after my set I stumbled and passed out for a moment. I'm nearly positive that it's the intra-abdominal pressure created by bracing your core, so either breathe better between reps or make your core stronger so you don't have to brace as hard.

>>40986660
You need to see your family physician and have an ECG.
You had pre-syncope while exercising and it's a big red flag.

It's probably just a vasovagal like the others have said (too much vagal stimulation from doing the valsalva maneouvre - google it, its basically a squat with proper breath holding and bracing your core).

You still need an ECG though. And congrats on managing it correctly. I would have let someone know you were in there though.

(Im a doctor)

some dude dressed in a super saiyan costume working out really intensely. not really crazy but he was kind of a fag for doing that.

this happened to me about a year ago when i first started to lift because of three things, my smoking fucked with my blood pressure, my pre workout fucked with my blood pressure and doing squats or barbell curls fucked with my blood pressure because i didnt know how to breath properly.

now that i dont take pre workout or smoke anymore i am fine and it never happens, i used to get white in the face from lifting when most people get red, now i get red like normal.

Stupid tiny lady: cant lift the 45lb pl8s has to ask people to move them off machines for her, told me to not do deadlifts 1 day.

gay sex in the steam room and before you fags get excited it was three old and fat guys who probably don't even actually go to the gym

the worst part was that it was late at night/early in the morning and i thought i was alone in the gym. so after opening the door i got really surprised and let a really high yelp, which in turn scared them so they yelped
