Yikes!! good luck with that. I got bit by one, or so the Dr thought. It left a nice tiny scar on my arm. Hope yours is nothing serious.

A boil - sounds very Old Testament curse-like. Not sure how I got it. But it has left a nice hole. Maybe like you, I can get a tattoo outta it when it scars.

nasty. but so less cool than saying I had a spider bite. sigh.

After doing all dumbbell work on chest for 6 weeks(?), decided to revisit barbell flat bench and see if any of the strength gained with DB's translates. It didn't. I lifted less there than I had before switching to DB's. Oh well. Back still sucks at pulling.
