Chest
Was having a great father/son workout until something shitty happened. I got to the gym 45mins before he did so was about to leave and he was still doing some db flyes. He's had an issue with a swollen elbow, tennis elbow maybe? But he refuses to give up, wont just let it heal...so he has me hand him the 75's and busts out 8 reps. I say "you wanna try the 85's?" He's like "yeah, lets do it". I tell him i was just kidding, better not push it...but now he wants to go heavy.lol. I said "idk dad, thats a serious weight jump" to which he replied "I'm a pretty serious old man!" Keep in mind he is 67 years old, so thats quite a bit of weight for somebody his age. He gets 3 good reps with the 85's and i say "come on one more!" Then a nasty pop comes from his elbow and he drops the db's on his chest on the 4th rep. He got up and it popped back into place, but within minutes a big fucking tumor appeared hanging off his elbow
I felt like shit, i was joking around about going to the 85's but he wanted to prove himself to me...he refuses to get "old", but this was kind of an eye opener for him-that he's damn near 70 and his body wont let him do what he wants to do. Idk, just feel sorry for him and thought i'd share it i guess. I know it's gonna bother me when i get to that age where there's nothing you can do about it, father time gets us all...
