StalwartSentinel Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Just a heads up for those new sledge hammer leverers, that may do a "newb" thing like me. In gaining a new front lever PR @ 27" on my 12 pounder, I also discovered where the top of my foot was. I wasn't used to the hammer being 1 inch longer therefore, 1 inch closer to my foot! I JUST grazed the bone behind the second toe. Took a bit of skin off, bled a bit and is starting to bruise in a triangle shape. Take caution... train for new sledge PR's in boots!

Starkmann Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 At least you didn't do what my wife has done twice now. She is once again completly losing a toenail to her running skills. She has a bad habit of trying to stop her body, during a dead sprint, by jamming her toe into the ground. Suprisingly it hurt. Now the toenail is leaving in protest. by the way she is reading as I type and laughing her ass off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
