I am going to add more fun stuff in myself soon. I need a break from strict powerlifting.

Variety can definitely be helpful for both the body and mind

Pendlay Rows
As I was walking over to set up for Pendlay rows, some IDIOT picked up one side of a barbell to unrack it and the plates from the other side slid off and BROKE TWO of my F’IN toes!!!

I am fuming right now to say the least. I went to urgent care and got it x-rayed (my right big toe is fractured in 4 locations and the toe to the right is broken in two more spots)

I’m now in a wooden boot and crutches – it’s probably going to be a while before I lift, let alone lift with lower body exercises.

Sorry to hear man. You'll be back fast though I'm sure. In the mean time it's all about upper body and a lawsuit.

Thanks Al - I'll probably "stay" out of the gym for a week or so (at least until I can walk with the boot without using crutches).

Maybe this will gimme a chance to increase my bench press (with no leg drive) lol.

To be honest, it was basically negligence on his part - I talked with a few folks and obviously the gym isn't liable and I got mixed answers as to whether the kid lifting was liable.

Good god. Just glad to see you didn't beat him to death.

Keep that upper body strong and get back in there when you can.

haha, thanks for the well-wishes Steve. I was in sucha daze that I didn't even think to retaliate lol.

As soon as I can walk without crutches, I will definitely be smashing the upper body and benching, bodybuilder style (ie no leg drive)

How's it feeling today?

Thanks Steve- I redressed the wound last night - it's still bleeding and there looks like a little puss, but it doesn't really hurt. Of course, the pain meds are helping lol. I've found a way to scuffle short distances without crutches, but not super comfortably.

Luckily, I'm essentially forced to keep my leg raised and study for my exam tomorrow

Well hang tough. No way I would want to be laid up like this.
