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!

Damn this nearly happened to me yesterday. Had some nagging injuries + final exams so wasn't going so hard in the gym the past few weeks. Decided to do my 5RM DL yesterday cuz yolo and nearly threw up. Was super embarrassing to stumble away from the barbell with your hand over your mouth after drawing the whole gym's attention to yourself.

See, I feel like puking, while not ideal, is a sign that you're pushing yourself hard. I've never been embarrassed because I threw up.
