Farting while working out

Coileach dearg

This is getting out of hand lately. I do my weights at home and for the 2 hours that I workout I release as much hot air that would raise the hindenburg!!

Does anybody else experience this? When I used to go to the gym it used to get quite embarrassing. Is it all the protein I take in during the day or what?

Maybe this should be in the personal issues section

Vegeta

pretty common I'd say

I get it especially deadlifting and doing squats.

Only gets to me when my girlfriend is spotting me

Bad and all as it is for us blokes I guess its worse for the lady lifters

Saruman

Not only on weights. Happens on aerobic machines like treadmill and cross trainer too

At home we call laughing that causes a fart "flaughs"....I suppose that makes these "flifts".

Pretty common. Clint kicked me in the stomach once causing a fairly hillarious fart.

I find that veg causes more wind than protein myself. I'm yet to experience the horrors from whey that some people say they get.

haha it happens to everyone, all that protein eh, i sorta skimper off to the jacks for a sly fart cos i dont wanna stink up the gym...

Hmm I'm sure Tribulus has a funny story about me for this one. I'm hoping to hae a vid of it later.

Double post

^^I was so focused on my job of spotting that I didn't notice hahahha.

I was accidentally spat on the other day too while spotting a guy doing db presses.

And a while ago another bloke accidentally smacked me across the back with a wooden board! I'll just consider it a hazing period or something.

I think the whole farting thing happens to everyone though, where I train is 99.9% men though so I don't really care, nor do they it seems.

just in the last two weeks, while running on the threadmill I get savage stomach cramps and end up having to stop running. Can anyone suggest anything to solve this problem?

I'm glad to report that I've never once farted while lifting!!! No-one comes near me in the gym anyway so I don't think it'd make a difference if I did!!!

Yeah thankfully I've never farted during a gym session either....though I don't do deadlifts or squats so maybe I'm not putting myself in the right positions!

And, if I remember correctly, Dragan said he witnessed a guy actually going that bit further and ****ting himself before...

If a girl farts in the gym but no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

In all fairness though I do think he said that he was attempting a monster deadlift, or something similar! Still though, the embarrassment. :eek:

Might seem weird but I kinda respect that sort of thing, Anyone thats going hard enough to **** his pants deserves respect.

I'm gonna be laughing at that for quite a while.

The worst thing is when you are gasping for air after some major exersion. Your mouth is wide open gulping down cool fresh air... when suddenly.. the air gets so thick and you start sucking the equivalent of fried eggs and sheep intestines.

Normally I try to make it to the emergency exit but a lot of the time I cant so the gym instructor (a very friendly lady) has started to give me the can of air freshener to bring around with me:D

eroo

I shouldn't have read this thread before going to the gym, I couldn't think about anything else...

So to the girl on the treadmill beside me in TCD gym this evening at around 5.45... I'm sorry for ruining your atmosphere
