(12:40:35 AM) KGB1: it was a present
(12:40:36 AM) smores: ouch, sweet ass birthday present
(12:40:37 AM) KGB1: to myself
(12:40:41 AM) smores: exactly
(12:40:47 AM) KGB1: but they are almost healed
(12:40:50 AM) KGB1: ummmm how to explain
(12:41:02 AM) KGB1: you know how you can do squats with dumbells at your sides
(12:41:08 AM) smores: yes
(12:41:10 AM) KGB1: i usually do that wit h30s
(12:41:26 AM) KGB1: but i had 40 lb ones to do calf raises
(12:41:37 AM) smores: oo
(12:41:52 AM) KGB1s: my watch kept beign bumped while i was doing the reps so i went to set the weights down so i essentially did the negative motion of the squat
