Mister Coaster

#1. I was doing military press (overhead press??) with like nearly nothing on the bar, just the olympic bar and maybe 10 or 15 lbs on each side. (I'm big, but not much muscle tone at all) I was using free weights because the nice safety rack was occupied by these huge dudes doing power squats. Anyway, as I go to put the bar down, I miss the rack and like an idiot, I don't just drop the bar, I attempt to muscle it out and recover the bar. Well, I couldn't do it, dropped the bar anyway and managed to get a tear in my deltoid. All with what looked like nearly no weight at all on the damn bar. That was like 10 years ago, and whenever I work out alot, I'll notice my shoulder hurting again from that injury.

#2. I was doing seated calf raises [edit: they were standing calf raises] on my first time back to the gym after over a year off, and overdid it. I didn't know until the next morning when I woke up, and went to stand up. My calves felt like they exploded with the heat of 1000 suns and I crumbled to the ground. I was literally crawling around the house all day because I couldn't put any weight on my feet. Toward the afternoon I finally started to stretch out and was able to walk frankenstein style a bit. But as soon as I sat down, I'd tighten up again. Eventually in the evening I walked it out by walking about a mile and a half, but it was an incredibly painful experience. Luckily I didn't have school or work that day.
