Was at the gym yesterday, i was doing pretty heavy bulgarian squats (5x5), first time ive done them with 5x5 so i was playing around trying to figure out about what weight to use. Anyways, i was setting up for my 3d set, as i put my back foot up on the bench i notice it seems a bit further back than i had it the sets before, but i carried on, thinking it was just my mind. Well, it wasnt, i went down, and as i started to go back up i noticed the stance was WAY to long, the back foot slipped off the bench, and banged into the floor and i fell aswell. I got up, finished the set, the workout, went home and took my sock off. And my friggin toe nail is broken pretty far back up on the meat, that sucks :p

Any idea what one should do with a toenail broken like that? Cut it off? That far up on the flesh?

And ofcource when i noticed i screamed "OH NOOOOO!! I BROKE A NAIL!"
:D

Only you Karky :p

When you say broken into the nail is it like digging in properly. Bleeding etc? You'd probably be best seeing a doctor. But sadly sounds like your going to have to grow a new nail buddy. You never know though, it might yet turn black and drop off (my dad's did). Then regrow.
 
its not really bleeding and digging inn, luckily. Doesnt hurt unless i bump into something with it, so hopefuly it will be ok. But i mean, what a sacrefice, is it normal to have to sacrefice your nails to hit the iron? Because thats a pretty big issue with me, manicures are expensive you know! :D
 
Aww that sucks.

My dad dropped a low-boy on his foot when he was in high school. It split his big toe nail in two all the way down. He's 51 and it still grows messed up. It damaged the nail bed or something.

Your right. They're too expensive. I'm not happy about it.
 
Just leave it and see what happens. I dropped a cast on my foot and it busted my nails pretty bad blood everywhere. I just taped them with sports strapping tape soaked them in the ocean everytime I went surfing and eventually they just grew through
 
I drove race cars for a few years and we got are feet jammed and split that nail all the time. It sucks! and I know what a low-boy is.

but anyhow- in TKD I get that sucker bent back and the only choice that seems to make things tolerable is to cut it off. Otherwise it bumps stuff.
 
FF - what do you do for a living - lion tamer? So far, I've seen that you race cars and jump out of airplanes.

Oh, and that's funny about the low boy. I didn't quite snap that maybe some people wouldn't know what that was.
