Amusing gym incident: was back there for the second time this week after slacking off for a while before that, and having to take it a little easy on lower-body stuff due to cycling 20km yesterday. But I was surprised when I got to the first machine in the second row (after all the lower-body machines) - for some reason, I seemed to be having a harder time with the pectoral flies than usual. I got through about four before I had to stop, while wondering how on earth cycling could have put any sort of strain there. I was pretty sure I'd done eight on Saturday without much trouble...
Anyway, after four, I resigned myself to having to lower the weight a little, and went to remove the little five-pound weight on the top of the stack... Only to notice that I had, in fact, accidentally put the pin into the stack one notch lower than I was supposed to. So while feeling guilty about having trouble doing pec flies with what I thought was 45 pounds, I was, in fact, doing them with 60 pounds. Now I'm astonished I got through four! Maybe I need to raise it to 50 next time...
And, on a completely unrelated note (except maybe insofar as it involves making mistakes with machines):

I feel compelled to add some sort of content warning to the following, but I don't want to spoil any surprises. Maybe I will just say that it should only be viewed if you have the sort of sense of humour that really ought to be taken out and shot.
I, needless to say, was alternating between making this face: D-8 and giggling uncontrollably.
Don't say you weren't warned. That which has been seen cannot be unseen.
