Felt good going into the gym. Got some good sleep this week. I don’t know why it wasn’t there today.
DL
Immediately felt it in my hamstrings then glutes like never before. I hope it’s because of last weeks extra slow eccentrics on the DL’s.

Definitely dropped a plate on my foot before. It’s always dumbfounding!
Ouch!!!
My personal favorite is pinching a blood blister on one of my digits between the plates ![]()
Ouch. Hopefully that toe is ok. ![]()
+1. Hope your toe heals up quickly.
I dropped a dumbbell on my little toe one time and broke it. It hurt like crazy.
You never hear about the little piggy that went to the doctor’s office.
This made me laugh ![]()

Nope. There’s really nothing that can be done. Short of the numerous bad words I said.

I screwed up this post. Blame it on the cold weather.
