no idea what you're talking about dude but thanks for the support. yeah neck was scary stuff

[nlucen1]

Innnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.

Also good luck on coming back from that injury. I imagine a neck injury is pretty crippling.

[Whitekoala]

Good to see u back in the gym. a recap on the injury i knew u told me this. But i forgot

But ya you were squatting, correct?

You then went to descend, and what happened was that the bar caught the side spotters, you went down a bit more, then tried to squat it back up, or something like that.

So it kind of did a little bounce off of ur neck? something like that?

[Str8FromNYC]
