Embarassed myself at the gym

[dna9488]

Ok, so this is the first time I made a big scene and the whole gym stared at me. I honestly didn't care and i continued to workout.
It was leg day, and my first exercise was to warm up my legs and get them pumped. So i got in the Plate Loaded Squat Press machine. I did my 4 sets and on my last set I had 6 plates of 45lbs on each side. So i went over to one side and took off all the weight. I than went to the other side and pulled the 6 plates toward me, and than the whole fuckin machine tipped over. 6 plates fell on the floor and made the loudest noise possible, and missed my leg thankfully.
This girl doing the leg press next to me was like "Are you ok?" she asked me twice, and i was like "ya i am good." hahaha....

After i put the plates away, i noticed she was gone. So now i am left with this fuckin machin tipped over. I anticipated it would be heavy to tip back over, it wasn't. So i just pushed back over and continued to do legs.

A guy did that at my old gym he never came back. Just wondering why would you ever think to take all the weight of one side at once? Honest question; not trying to be an ass.

lol... its all good. I've done this before, but i was being careful. This time i wanted to shorten the time, and it backfired. Did it too fast and the thing tipped right over. Shit happens oh well. i don't care.
