Hate to hear this. The way we push ourselves we always walk a tight rope. Hoping for a quick full recovery for you mp

Thanks my friend. This is very mild compared to what you had to go through.
Thanks brother. If there is an upside it is that a whole slew of other minor and not so minor injuries will be given the time they need to heal that they otherwise probably wouldn't have been given.

Sorry to hear that, MP. Did you get hurt at a meet or just in training?
Wishing you a speedy recovery MP!!
Just training. The ironic thing is that since the original bicep tendon surgery I only do 4 or 5 sets of curls once a week just to keep the bicep tendons healthy. I was on my final set today with 115 pounds and on the sixth rep I felt in snap and roll up towards the shoulder.

Well, I hope you recover quickly and get after those 50+ rankings. I really hate it for you.
Ive had bicep problems for years , I just dont enjoy working them like I did when I was younger and avoid direct work alot of times . Heal fast brother

I'm the same way. I used to regularly do barbell curls with 135+. Now I do very little direct bicep work and 115 is as heavy as go. It was obviously too heavy today.
Thanks for the well wishes everyone. I appreciate it. I will put up some post surgery photos when the time comes.
So today I was supposed to work up to 5x5 @305 benching. Needed a boost after the torn bicep on Sunday so I said fuck it and worked up as planned. Got all 25 reps. A few weren't paused but I will take it.
This accomplished exactly nothing as I will be facing surgery soon and will have to start back at square one after but sometimes when I'm frustrated moving heavy things helps and today was one of those times. Below is the final set.

Thanks big man. Unfortunately part of the game as we get older, as you know way better than most.

What's amazing is how resilient we are. 3 months ago I had a major surgery. Here I am today

Honestly when a true vet like yourself notices my hard work it makes me feel good. Just as I aspire to be as good an athlete as you are in the future[emoji4]
They say 3 to 4 months to resume normal activity. I pushed it harder than I should have the first time as I was a bit obsessed to get back to normal lifting. I did a 3 board 300 pound bench 6 weeks post surgery while wearing a brace to restrict the arm's movement.
Probably lucky I didn't re tear it. I will go slower this time but still much faster than the surgeon or PT would approve. My plan is to do a lot of high rep low weight sets starting about six weeks from surgery date and gradually work up over time as long as the bicep feels good.
