Yesterday, I had an incredible workout.

I was doing deadlifts, overhead presses, and dumbbell rows.

After the workout, I felt so strong compared to the workout days.

Usually, when I’m done doing my lifts I bring back the plates I used — like a decent human being.

But, I was so happy that I was carelessly lifting the weights up.

One of the weights slipped out — a 1.25kg plate.

I panicked when I felt the weight slip, afraid that I might destroy the floor.

As if on reflex, I kicked my left leg backwards to soften the plate’s landing.

Instead of hitting my calf, which I was hoping for, it hit my ankle hard instead.

A loud thud came from the plate.

I looked back and looked at the floor.

No scratches.

I breathed out a sigh of relief.

However, my ankle was in pain. Regardless, I returned the plate and sat on a chair.

I looked back at my ankle. I mean it was okay. It doesn’t hurt that bad.

But, the next day, my ankle was really sore.

I tried doing a squat, but I back out when doing a squat.

So, that’s it. I can’t do any exercises that has to do with ankles for a week.

Great.

My stupidity never ceases to amaze me. It’s always on point with these stupid accidents.

Well, what can I do?

You live and you learn.
