Thanks man. I'll get there.Good luck man on getting it straightened out.
Don't fret, turn that weakness into strength...stoke the fire!Thanks man. I'll get there.
Power lifting has exposed so much weakness in me. I have a ways to go.
Sorry to hear that brother. Wish you a speedy recovery. It's a tough sport. You have to stay on top of body constantly. Even with all things aligned somethings just aren't meant to be. I've contemplated hanging it up as well.I've got some sad news in my power lifting career. I'm hanging up my cleats gentleman.
Throughout my life I've had some pretty good injuries. Destroyed my right wrist and it's held together with a cool plate and a half dozen screws. Destroyed my right knee and the bottom of my femur. The knee is essentially fake with a femoral ostyotomy. That's a good one. Find a finger that hasn't been snapped, lol. Recently a hip fracture and adductor tear on my right side.
Well, today I tore my left bicep dead lifting. It's trashed. I'll be at the ortho tomorrow if they can get me in. The pain is around a solid fucking 5.
I love trying to be strong but I'm not the guy I don't think. I shouldn't be breaking like this. I'm in my mid 30s and I have a family and a company that need me to not be broken. They deserve the best me I can give them and right now I'm letting everyone down. For these reasons I'm going to walk away from wicked heavy weight. (Wicked heavy for me anyway)
I'm going to push ahead and get healed and crush the iron when I'm healed. I'm naturally a big guy and I've always been good at filling that big person role. Since I started aas all I have done is chase numbers. It's time to use aas for size and not focus on insane strength I think. It's also time to dial in a sick diet and get back to my normal 'I can see all my abs' self.
I am sad about this but it's different this time. It's a crying fucking shame but it's just more fuel to my fire long term. Hey, on the bright side I'm probably going to get a cool new scar or two.
I have the bicep wrapped right now. When I shower and the wrap comes off I will get some pics, it's kind of weird looking lol
Stay safe guys.

To me looks like it came off at the bone. Otherwise you'd see a ton of blood bruising.View attachment 74164Yup, life sucks right now
That's about where it will let go, when your arms are holding maximum load. Were you using mixed grip?On the plus side I finished the rep haha. It let go during lockout.
Yes, supinated side toreThat's about where it will let go, when your arms are holding maximum load. Were you using mixed grip?
Yup, that'll do it, as I've learned that myself when my left arm came apart when I lost control of the bar when doing heavy underhanded barbell rows. I certainly got too greedy that timeYes, supinated side tore
