Warm up, grab weights, POP!, grab arm

Working
out is hard to do. Ouch.
After I got home today, I took a nap. This thing wasn’t a nap as much as it was a close encounter with death or something. I swear, I didn’t really wake up as much as I saw the light and drifted back to the realm of the living. All thanks to a phone call. Thank you, whoever you were who abruptly hung up.
After a light dinner and some snacking, I found myself trudging to the gym. I wasn’t feeling all that up to it. Not that I was trying to avoid it, but I just had this feeling of overall weakness.
Sometimes you should just listen to your body.
After a short warm-up and deciding what to do, I got into the first set with a light weight. UP it goes, down slowly, slowly…. And POP! There we go, nice. Forearm? You still there? Still with me? Well, I had been talking about doing cardio for a while, taking a break from weights. Now’s as good a time as any, right?
There could be a silver lining to this cloud, though. I can’t divulge more details right now. I’ll update you later when I know if the lining is silver or lead that has been painted cheaply.
Peace.
