    • On the last rep, I felt a popping or snapping sensation in my left thumb where the edge of the thumbnail meets with the skin. Lowered the bar right away, thought I might have cracked a nail or ripped my thumbnail off. Thumbnail ended up cutting the skin of my thumbs. Gotta use tape or straps next time I do anything more than 1 rep.

Ever since I started taking strength training seriously, I was bitten by the Iron Bug. Then it burrowed under my skin and laid eggs in my heart. Now those eggs are hatching and I... the feeling is indescribable.
