Interruptions durring workouts

Spincycle · 09-20-2005, 01:07 AM

This is a place to share any funny and/or unexpected interruptions while working out. I made this topic since I just had one earlier today.

I work out at home, and I was on my last set of preacher curls when the smoke alarm goes off. My first reaction is that it's the carbon monoxide alarm so I run upstairs, but then I see my mom pulling a smoking chicken out of the oven and yell "dinner's ready!"

Good times...

LOL!...at least that interruption was entertaining.
Mine seem to be all annoying...just gotta roll with the punches.

When old men/young girls come over and ask if they can work in the power rack. I can't say decline either, cos I'll look like a meanie, and the girls aren't bad-looking, so I've no choice but to wait.

Wait while they unrack both sides, strip it down to nothing and start half-squatting mini-plates on each side. Then leave with a 'Thanks!' and 300+lb of plates lying around all over the floor.

Couple years back I was lifting one night at a local gym right in front of the window looking outside. My ex-GF from college whom I had thought lived in Australia (we broke up on really bad terms) sees me through the window and starts pounding on the glass. I'm in the middle of a set of latpulldowns so no way am I going to get distracted. Finish the set, still pounding away... I look towards the window and its my ex Michelle. Smiling jumping up and down, at this point 1/2 the f'n gym is looking outside. So I go out to meet her in the cold of winter.

I can't say I liked it or hated it, just really awkward. And no I didn't get any from her that night (in case you were wondering) :confused2

lol..that sucks, at least if you got some the interuption would be worth it.

No one interupts me for long at the gym, I'll talk for the 1:30 between sets but then I just start going and ignore them..lol. They get the idea. :dumbells:

As I train outside I put myself at risk of many things :P... Anyway I was doing some warm-up bench press on my last two sets and a stupid seagull out of nowhere flys by and drops off a mother of a white load on my chest...

Good times... :|
