And so then, yeah, I just kind of went full tilt into it. And I did get pretty injured or pretty badly injured early on. I had a full tricep tear with an avulsion fracture.

Uh, and I think I just had, you know, beat up elbows and tendons from, you know, uh, the job, but it just like, I don't know if it just hit me right at the right spot at the worst time or whatever, but it just snapped. Uh, and it wasn't violent, you know, it wasn't like, you know, being thrown really hard or, or posting really hard or anything like that.
