Worst Day at the Gym

[redsoxrock930]

Hey guys i made a thread so people could talk about their worst day at the gym, because i had mine today. I haven't gone to the gym in about 5 weeks, which is a long time for me since i generally go three days a week. My lower body has stayed strong because i've been running, but i decided to do a chest and triceps day. my bench was awful, and i barely could do one dip. so tell your stories about your worst days at the gym

The first day after a long layoff is always the worst, so my worst day is the same as yours.

Sometimes, even when training consistently, as I am now, I find that I lose the mental desire to go, but I force myself to go anyway. After your sixth consecutive week or so you'll find your stride. Remember to give yourself mini-rewards too, like a big steak or even the occasional chocolate milk shake. It helps.

It was when I was benching without a spotter. My second to last rep and my arm loses strength. The bar was laying on my chest and I tried to get it off, but then it landed on the side of my face. One side of the bar tipped over and the weights fell off. So after that mess, I got up and said, "Well, that frickin' hurt." I think 10 people or so were watching lol

you would think that if ten people were watching a couple would come to help

Ten people watched and nobody came to spot you? Sounds like a New York City subway.

One word: dumbbells.

You guys all have rocks in your head.
I relish every gym workout I go to. Every day at the gym is a GREAT DAY!!!
Everytime i finish a workout i feel a sense of accomplishment and just the comfort in knowing I'm doing something good for my health, my quality of life and that I'm getting stronger every week/2 weeks.
Sure the first day after not going in a while is always a pain, but i try to take a break here and there for a week only.
NOT 5 WEEKS!!!!
Sounds like some of you need a kick up the ass from Rickson.

"Hey, could you give me a quick hand"

Problem solved

tweaked my back squatting heavy in college. That day sucked. Even with muscle relaxers I was in constant pain, and sleeping on the floor for a week. I also missed two days of school.

Now it's ANY hard leg day. I am just starting to work out again, so I haven't had a bad one yet. But my old trainer, if I wasn't about to pass out, or vomit, she thought I wasn't working hard enough.

And that's bad...how?

When a person asked me training tips during my workout.

If he asked me how to train his legs, I would tell him to do 10 sets of leg extensions and 10 sets of leg curls as my way of getting revenge.

Well, distracting you from your workout is one thing, but "sometimes you just gotta look yourself in the mirror and say 'When in Rome"

You're gonna ruin your reputation dude.

What is the best way to pick up a babe in the gym ?

 

[Vermillion]

Ano's post was obviously a joke, but I don't have to point that out, right?

I didn't ask for a spotter that time because I thought I had it under control, but my arms gave out on me at the end. It's all good though, just a big scar the size of a yardstick across my face.
