Gym "injuries"

Does anyone else turn into a bruising machine at the gym? I'm particularly good at walking into the adjustable bench and battering myself trying to adjust it. Only on my left side though for some reason. I once smacked my jaw with it. That was embarrassing.

I also have constant bruises on my hips from the Roman Chair. Damn my bony hips!


Anyone else turn suddenly turn into a clutz specially for the gym? xD

    I'm the one who is always falling over trying to get into the hip abductors machines. Also usually covered in bruises from the weights machines especially my shins.

    But it actually doesn't matter where I am - I'm the worst clum ever.

    Omg yes! The callouses! Bruises between my thumb and index finger too from the assisted pull up. My shins are a total mess too.

    AND I'm always trapping my fingers when I rereack the dumbbells.

    I have myself a black eye with my knee whilst doing bicycle crunches. I consider myself a walking argument against Darwinism
