Injured!

not the best start to the morning.

 

Went to the gym with some friends. Today was chest day so a lot of pushups and bench pressing. Before ending my workout, I was knocking out 185 on the bench press. One of my friends thought it would be a nice joke to yank off a 45 off of the left end of the bar. Once he did, the right side of the bar came crashing down on my arm. Didn't break or tear anything, but in a lot of pain. Had to wear an arm brace for the entire day, even at TKD. Might be on it for a few more days too.

If some of you remember Master Aurbach, he went through years of TKD with only one arm. So I didnt have any excuses to not come to class today. it was interesting to figure out how to change my form in order to make it still effective.

 

never the less, youll still be seeing me in class!

A day of suspense.....
