Ock, you're going to like this one.

Post by saint-spoon »

Yesterday morning in the gym I dropped a 10kg weight on my left foot whilst loading up the leg press machine thingy; what an idiot. Luckily it was one of the rubberised type weight disc things and it must have sort of hit my foot as it hit the ground so there doesn’t appear to be any lasting damage. I was hoping for a dead good bruise but none has been forthcoming. I was hobbling around all morning yesterday though. It blinking well hurt like made. I would not recommend such actions to anyone. That’ll learn me for trying to carry four at a time (two in each hand).

Gyms are dangerous places, S-S.

Hope you are OK? No bruise yet?

Ha ha, a few months ago I watched one of our Physical Training instructors do exactly the same thing… she shook herself off and looked around to check that no-one had seen but of course some of us had (ha ha ha evil larf).

I do agree with Bluebell and Helen, gyms are very unhealthy places sometimes >dum<
