Who's with me ?

Sounds like a real concern Grizz

Can you get that sawn back together and throw sound pepides at it?{too much $$$$?!}
I pulled my pec last year a couple of days before I was due to fly out to thailand for a holiday
We did'nt know how bad it was {cos I was to bulked up and the swelling}
But it did need surgery,I think it's to late now,sometimes I get bad cramps in it like it is got to tear some more.
But I work around it
You might need that arm in the futher,it's no good getting someone in a head lock when you can't pound them with the other arm

What do you think caused the tear to begin with?

I "can" get it fixed, though, now that we're talking 7 months later, the risk of complications is greatly increased. However, I don't have 12k laying around. In fact, I have about $4 to my name. LOL......not really.

I'm just waiting to get insurance and then I'll see what I can do about it. I don't really want to be out of comission for the year it willl take, but I guess I'll do what I have to. It sucks to have to worry about it.

I went to lift a little, which is something I haven't done in a very, very long time, since MMA training takes up all my time, and I tried to do some chins. I can do them, but I don't think it's a very good idea. I can see the vastly different shapes of my arms in the mirror and I don't think putting 290lbs on, essentially, only a tendon is the best idea for me. And that sucks! Because I LOVE chins. Fuck me and my bullshit luck!

Got unemployed and then injured 3 weeks apart.

Yeah my Mrs just payed off my $1450 Visa draft

Well if that's how big you are now,you don't really need the other arm,one arm a head butt & a knee should do the trick

Shiiit, I wish that was the truth! In fact, I'll be giving up 70lbs or more when I fight on Sept. 20. I'll be down in the 265lb range(though I don't know if that's such a good idea) and dude I'll be fighting goes between 320 and 350lbs.

Where in AUS do you live? I want to say my old roommate is in the Perth area right now.

I'm in New Zealand,but I used to live in Perth back in '89-91
I used to go to Bruce Waddels Golds gym in North Bridge,they had some good BB and PL come from that gym most famous Bev Francis,a very good gym

Grizz I had my distal tendon reattached over a year ago now . I was back at heavy lifting with in 6 months . The arm is as good as the other one now . Get some ins. and go in and get it fixed , the longer you wait the harder it will be for them to fix it .

I feel for you Grizz. My friend of over 20 years can't get help from Social Security nor the VA. They may have considered this injury a "self-infliction!" If someone had done this to him(popped both hamstrings) it may be a different story. We folks at the gym are trying to put together a fund raiser for him. With flyers, local news exposure, and appealing to the IFBB for some help. Being unable to walk for the rest of his life would be fucked up.

I know! Which is why I'm trying very hard. It's been since January 24th, and it's "supposed" to be reattached within 10 days. Whatever, something will go right for me at some point....
