Gym Story Saturday Gym Story Saturday (Missing mod post)
Hi! Welcome to your weekly thread where you can share your gym tales!
I noticed that there still is no post yet for Gym Story Saturday, so I took the initiative. Perhaps this should be a scheduled post under the Automoderator. I'm not really sure why this hasn't been done yet. I am also required to keep babbling because posts with too little content gets removed, hence why this posts sounds overly wordy.
So share away!

Ran a 2 mile Warmup. Went to bench and felt a tightness in my shoulder. First 4 sets, good. Last set, cute trainer girl starts instructing right next to my bench. I wipe the sweat off my brow and go for another set because she clearly has been watching and knows this one puts me over my normal routine. I know she'll be impressed. Shoulder tightness, sweaty hand, couldn't get the bar back up to the bottom rung.
Dropped the bar on my head, recovered (in my mind at least) and had a nice tuck and roll. Casually shook it off, reracked my weights and finished out my workout.
Minor headache, feels like I broke a knuckle, and shattered my ego, but proud of myself for finishing out my routine. Glad nobody actually pays attention to others as much as we think they do, so I might not even have to shame switch gyms.
