WHACK!
Your moment of Zen
One of the weight machines for triceps is arranged thusly
1) A stack of weights on the floor
2) A cable running through an adjustable number of said weights
3) The cable runs up above head height, through a pulley
4) The cable then runs to a bar which rests above head height.
To do the tricep exercise you grab the dangling bar, pull it down to waist height to start and then push it down towards your knees.
No problem.
In order to adjust the weight you duck under the bar and pull out the pin in the weight stack. The bar now has no weight pulling it up and falls and lands on your head. You swear quietly and look around to see who saw. Everyone saw, but everyone is pretending not to look.
Your head hurts but you can’t rub it or you look like even more of idiot.
However, this all worth it ,as it provides amusement for the next few weeks as you see who else this happens to.
Bench: 85 times 6
Abs: I sure hope they are having a good time because they are certainly not anywhere near me. My guess is they are on vacation hanging out on some beach drinking fruity drinks.

I think your abs are hanging out with my abs. Probably at John Basedow's house. Man I hate that guy.
I think your abs are hanging out at Alec's pub.
*points and laughs at Bob*
Why do my abs get a more exciting life than I do?
It's not exactly fair, is it?
ha! So many things like that happened to me. One time, I was doing, well, let me paint a picture: There's this little bar type thing that looks a bit like a capital 't'. oh, wait, there is a thingy about thigh high also to hold your legs. Anyway, it's this thingy that you do upward crunches on. You position yourself so your facing the floor, hips on the bar and the other bar thingy to hold your legs - intended to keep you from flipping over. So I'm doing these, holding a weight to my chest. I'm impressing myself. My friend comes over and says, "wow, look at you.... I think you need to bend farther though." I'm all, "huh? If I bend farther, I'll fall on my head." She's like, "no. Not that much farther. Just a little." So I'm all, *shrug*. So I proceed. I bend farther. *FLIP* the little leg holder far disappears (it didn't really) and I do a somersault off of the thing. Course I landed head first. But! I was still holding the weight to my chest!

I thought I was going to be helpful and help out my production team by pulling a couple of orders this morning. Except I damn near knocked myself out cold by hitting the back of my head on a steel rack.
*points and laughs at Momma*
Nookie <---- completely heartless these days
*points and laughs at linkless Nookie*

Ooooh! *waits for Nookie's response*

Poor Bob.
*laughs* at Nookie.

*holds ice to momma's head*
How does a little stick figure lift weights?
See? This is why I don't work out. It can be hazardous to one's health.
*giggles at the image of three haired Bob lifting weights*
Ddi Bob explode herself?
I think she's tied up in the cable.
