I was at a "Y" a couple years back and some dude asked me for a spot. I was not feeling too good that day but still decided to help. He was a skinny dude and had about 200 on the bar. He was going great for 3 reps then BAM he just ran out of gas. Standing right over his head I had to use all my strength to rack it because he was spent. As I strained to pull it up I let a fart rip right in this guys face, it was a sick eggy smelling one. It was truly an accident. Once I racked it the guy looked at me with a disgusted look and walked off and I was just standing there laughing my ass off. Way too funny.
One day as I was walking into the gym, I looked down to see a brown streak on the floor that curved in an approx. fifteen ft. long arc from the squat rack all the way out of the door! I didn't see the offender, but a few friends of mine did. They claim he was doing his set of squats, and on the way down, he EXPLODED on the scene! Sadly for him, it was peak hours (and this is at the largest college in the nation ) and there were alot of hotties there. He was never seen again (but his streaks were seen for about a week, because the stains had set in). You had to watch your step!
luckily for him, he unracked it and it started tilting wildly towards the heavier side at which point he nearly got off the seat to re-adjust it bringing it back up. wish something more chaotic woulda happened.
Epic downgrade... ... nice one pinchharmonic
ohio state? UT?
Yeah, that story happened at J.O. South a few years ago. GO BUCKS!
some idiot at a 24 hour fitness was doing pullups and somehow managed to just fall on the ground landing on his ass. i guess he was pulling too hard on the upward and lost grip.if that wasn't enough, later on he was psyching himself up for a few mins to do a set of incline barbell presses. It looked like he was doing a 35 on each side, turns out, as my friend mentioned to me, that he had a 25 on the other side. so we pretty mcuh just waited anxiously to see what would happen. luckily for him, he unracked it and it started tilting wildly towards the heavier side at which point he nearly got off the seat to re-adjust it bringing it back up. wish something more chaotic woulda happened.
Been going there since July... It's really good, but not all it's cracked up to be.I miss the JOS. It's the closest to a hardcore gym you will get on campus!
Surprisingly hardcore. I used to be in there with the crew, just tearin it up. I'll never forget some of those workouts... But everyone left! Now it's all the corny ass dudes, and less hot chicks.
almost had an incident like that. after a set with 315, decided to drop to 275. went over and took a 45 off the left side and put a 25 on, then put a 25 on the right without taking a 45 off. just barely dodged disaster when i tried to unrack it myself and the one side didn't budge. could have had a serious problemo there.
Exactly which time period are you talking about?
I'm talking between '01 and '04. We may know at least a few of the same people.
