heres a pic from 6 days after i ruptured my triceps tendon last october.

 

[jsupstarz]

Yep I had an elbow ligament injury and it bruised up like that. It hurts.

 

[juggernaught]

lol sad thing is when my first one went (the left) i actually felt better then the tendonitus that id delt with for the 2 years previous.

How is your training going now ?

 

[juggernaught]

its rough i am only allowed 10lbs resistance on that triceps.
my chest shoulders are all being done by isolation motions lots of machine flyes , and db laterals.
back bis and legs are better but have to train them at a reduced workload due to my tris being a small support muscle group in alot of excersises , for example had to switch from back squats to front squats,cant deadlift over 315 due to stretch on tris,cant due pull ups due to stretch etc hopefully will be able to train back legs bis normal in 3 more months

Hang in their bud. I'm coming back from a ruptured bicep. Slow and easy.

 

[juggernaught]

i hear ya

I tore both of mine at the same time two years ago. Doing skull crushers and felt a sharp pain in the back of both triceps. It wasn't ruptured I don't think but I had to lay off for a few weeks and the next morning I had bruises running down the inside of both arms. Best of luck bro.

 

[juggernaught]

thanks, yeah mine were complete ruptures, the long head was rolled up into my arm pit both times

 

[propeine]

all i can think of when i see your name is the "I'm the juggernaut BITCH" cartoon.

 

[juggernaught]

lol

 

[Selene]

that is too bad, but good to hear you are back in gym training mon cheri

 

[juggernaught]

thankyou

 

[Thickneck]

I wish I could do skull crushers , they kill my elbow tendons.

 

[propeine]

I feel as far as a tricep workout I get more out of skull crushers than any other muscle specific exercise. I LOVE THEM. Sorry to hear you can't do them. What about with a sleeve?

 

[juggernaught]

my fav WAS overhead db extensions.
i tried sleeves wraps etc all they did was cover up the pain the tendons where already frayed i needed to take time off and let them completly heal, but being stupid and stubborn i never took more then a week off until i ruptured them

 

[propeine]

Damn bro. Like I said, best of luck in your recovery. How the hell do they even fix that? Overhead DB extensions I just feel too off balance. I suppose thats good for your fast twitch muscle fibers though.

 

[juggernaught]

they opened up a 5 inch incision over my elbow pulled the triceps down through the elbow and secured it to original anchoring site with a few screws , then they placed me in a brace that only alowed 5% elbow movement for 8 weeks, then increased to 15% for 4 weeks now im brace free with full movement and allowed to use 10lbs for tri excercises.lol my friends give me shit all the time when they see me with the 10 lb bd doin extensions lol at my best i used a 167lb db for db extensions 4 sets 20-15 reps.........

 

[propeine]

Wow, I can't even imagine that. I had a plate and screws in my ankle and was off my feet for like three weeks before I got too pissed off at my cast etc. Told the doc I was failing classes because I couldn't get rides and asked if he could put me in an aircast so i could drive. He did thank goodness and I was able to get back to a somewhat normal life. I'd tell your friends you're going to put some screws in their arms if they keep that shit up.

 

[juggernaught]

nah it doesnt bother me lol . I sure enjoyed showing off before i got hurt now its time for my just desserts.
