If you like a man in pain…

…then I am your huckleberry.

So tonight, after the wrist injury last week, me ‘n Barry finally hit the gym.

Ironically, my knee started hurting while on the elliptical. Yes, I’m a delicate, fragile snowflake.

Then I got on the squat machine, set it up for calf raises, and got through about five before stopping because my right knee and ankle were not cooperating.

Then we hit the free weights in my basement — and as is the tradition, whoever went last the last go-round, has to start off.

I crushed it.

Ha! Here’s a ticket to the gun show! Kidding aside, and I know these numbers mean nothing to most people… but the workout tonight was three sets at 245 lbs (10-10-15) for a total of 35 reps. The nice thing: I was dominating it while cranking out that last set, so that makes me feel like I can start working out again in the 275-315 range!

I swear, right now I feel like my idol, Terry Tate.

My hero. Well, actually, he’s a close second to Kimbo Slice, but that’s a story for another day…
