I've been a member of my Gym for just 2 weeks and i've already had 2 injuries.

What am i doing you ask? lifting too much? overtraining? poor form?

Worse =(

First one was running into the gym from my car while it was raining, i hurdled a low barrier (hey i competed in the hurdles at the English national athletics champs) and um... didn't hurdle it. Say hellow to a bashed bruised and bleeding shin =(

Then yesterday i went to put my wallet in my bag which was in my locker and i manage to bash my head on the hinge of the door. I have grade 1 shaved hair. Now i have a nice bloody gash showing to the world and had to do my workout dabbing my skull every few mins.

Of cause if anyone asks "i did them at the gym" *cough cough*

Sorry, but I had to really laugh at that one. Just a few clumsy days. It happens to the best of us. Maybe working out will give you some more coordination..lol
