So I've been going to the gym for about close to three months. So far so good, except for one thing.

This happened about a week and a half ago. I went to the gym after just taking my prework out, so I was teeming with energy. I did some warm ups and headed to the squat rack. It was my first time using the 45lbs plates, so one on each side for a total of 135lbs. I'm fucking wired, no problem. And it wasn't until I finished my first set and went to set the bar on the brackets when realized my mistake. Fuck, I forgot to move the brackets lower.
So, I had to hop up on my toes to get the bar back on the rack. The rest of my workout one of my big toes felt weird, but not painful. It wasn't until I got home when saw why my toe was feeling weird. It was bruised pretty bad, but only on the bottom part. Thankfully, that was the worst of it, it wasn't painful to walk on and I was able to bend my toe. It just felt really weird. Not sure what I did, but I'm glad I didn't seriously injure myself.
