I’ve slammed fingers and toes or fallen on a missed box jump but never slammed my thigh like this. 

😮 wow looks like it hurts. Hope it goes away quickly and painlessly. Stay strong, focused and healthy. Have a great rest of your week! 🌈😊🌻 

Thanks Dama! You have a great day. It was pretty painful for a couple of days. This is “healing” 

Ouch! 🏋️ Glad you're OK breco👍 Just for grins take photos as the bruise continues and post as a pic-collage. 🌈🙃 

Ha, SK! Maybe 🤔 

Thanks for sharing. Hope it is gone soon. Yeah, I am always banging into doors, slipping off bikes, and managed to pinch my skin when re-racking dumbbells, so I'm extra careful with anything heavy now. Sometimes I find bruises on myself but can't remember exactly where or when I got them.  

Once the pain is gone the ego heals quickly 😜. You be alright bro 👍💪 

Get some ice on that STAT!!! I've never hurt myself w/weights/machines/etc. Thank God!!! Always be careful when working with/around gyms/weights/machines/ppl, etc. Move slowly, focus, keep perfect form/posture/breathe correctly when performing any exercise whether it's w/weights or not!!! And above all, stay hydrated before/during/after. Wear proper clothing, wipe equipment w/sanitary wipes. If possible, use mirror(s) to monitor every move. I purchased many full-view mirrors, the tall ones that can be adhered to any door: bedroom/bathroom, etc., and I lined an entire bedroom that was designated the free-weight room for perfecting the form, shape, tone, of my muscles. It wasn't vanity. It was more like an obsession to be healthy. THe only pain I ever received was sore muscles....again....Thank God!!! Amen Take care....all ways. :) 

Chevre, completely in touch with mystery bruises - and banging around, pinching my fingers in the gear. Ouch. and slow meta, for sure, always sage advice - not my first rodeo - but clearly i had a momentary lapse in safe behavior. 60pack - ain't that the truth, brother, ain't that the truth. but seriously, my ego was in tact after this - where i've bruised my ego was doing box jumps and missing the box. not a good look. :) 

Ahhh...yes, I have done things just like that...I have pinched finger when returning weights to the rack! Really painful...but you were doing boxjumps later? Awesome! 

I hang on to my dumbbell every night....my wife! 

oh no!!! hope it heals quick take it easy until then 

3 weeks and the bruise will bleed down your leg. You need to makeup a GOOD story to tell 

Ouch❣️ weights: 1 br_e_co: 0 

Octagon accident. 

And try Arnica. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. 

Ah hcb it does stink we all get our fingers caught. And mermee, I’m good, just crying to the community - I’ve certainly bashed my head on the desk - be careful. 🤫😁 

Katsolo and Moopie - weights did win and I did not make it out of octagon. 😂

Thank you shuleh I am definitely not rubbing it now. 👍
