weightlifting injury

i thought i'd try seated military press for a change to eliminate the cheating that i'd introduced into my standing MP, and to minimize the lower back risk.

i haven't done Seated MP in a long time.

so on the first rep, bringing the bar up, i bang the bar into my chin. i happened to be biting my lip -- bill clinton-style -- at the time. took a chunk off the inside bottom lip. yum.

that's the first time i've drawn blood internally (that i know of) while lifting. (well, technically, i was still bleeding externally, i guess.)

what a stupid, stupid, beginner mistake.

and that kind of throwing-shit-around is exactly why i wanted to do seated presses.
