Was at the gym working out with my buddy . We were using the assisted diptricep machine . It looks like this . tbn 3 . gstatic . comimages ? qtbnANd 9 GcTXblLd 60 H 3 VpMB 47 ikX 3 ZoWxzShlGTQBQoUIyEQOY 5 aTZCZtY I had folded the knee pad down so I could do some pull ups . As I was climbing up and reaching for the overhead grips , my left foot totally missed the left foot rest . As I was falling downwards , my ribcage briefly snagged onto the left midlevel hand bar . For a moment my entire body was being supported by my ribcage . I fell to the ground and did one of those silent screams as I wrapped my arms around my torso . Honestly amazed that I didn ' t break some ribs . I did have a gnarly twelve inch bruise on the left side of my torso along with badly bruised ribs that hurt like a motherfucker for about 5 weeks . Everything , from sneezing , shitting , sitting up , lying down , laughing , etc . would cause spasming pains to radiate from my torso .
