**yerg** · 10-02-2011, 07:15 PM

at the gym today doing preachers with ez curl 135lbs 2nd set at tha t weight 3rd rep.....and it felt like ahhhhh pain.....and velcro tearing.. the ER doc put me in a sling and ace bandage and refered me to a sports med doc... they are doing an MRI tomorrow followed by surgery...
Who has gonje through this with any muscle????? Thoughts or things i should know or be concerned about.... The "Doc" was really just a PA-C... And looked a lil surprised when he looked at the arm...As if "Uh Oh" lmao

**yerg** · 10-02-2011, 07:17 PM

I did two warm up sets prior.... 15 reps at 75lbs.... and then hit the 135lbs.....

**brad1224** · 10-02-2011, 07:19 PM

**yerg** · 10-02-2011, 07:22 PM

I didn't even know that such a thing was even possible. Sorry to hear that.

**ANIMALHAUS** · 10-03-2011, 08:57 AM

A guy I know tore his bicep so bad that the entire muscle shifted into his forearm. I saw pictures of it and he looked like Popeye! it was awful.

This is gonna take you out of the gym for a while, so start hitting legs twice a week and keep the protein high to avoid muscle wasting!

I tore my distal tendon on my bi a month ago, i have no insurance so mri and surgery were out. My doc said to ice and take ibuprifin. I took a week n a half off and went back at it. My push work outs are about 85% not bad. I havent tried doing back or bis. Will wait two more weeks for that. Hope all goes well brother, i know what youre going through

**the_predator** · 10-03-2011, 10:28 AM

If you can afford it after all is said and done get on some hgh. This will help with the repair. I'm really sorry bro. I know it's going to be a long road but try to stay positive. I know that's easy for me to say but about 13 years ago I completely tore up my shoulder so I know how you feel. Listen to animal and try to do some stuff in the gym. Either way, good luck, hope you have a fast recovery.

**yerg** · 10-03-2011, 05:41 PM

man thanx for the advice guys.. this is really tough for me... ive got surgery on thurs. it is th distal tendon that i tore in my right bicep.

**chucky1** · 10-03-2011, 06:02 PM

i think thats what took Branch out a while back, sorry to hear bro that sucks

**sofargone561** · 10-03-2011, 06:21 PM

ouch goodlcuk!

**usafchris** · 10-03-2011, 07:16 PM

Wow man, really sorry to hear that. I wish you the best. Let it heal the best you can and come back slow. I quit heavy preachers because I started getting really sharp pains down my forearms because of it.

**Pork Chop** · 10-03-2011, 07:19 PM

Damn this really sucks Yerg. It sounds like you have my kinda luck bro. It seems when things are running smooth than something like this happens.
LISTEN TO ME BRO..... TAKE YOUR TIME AND RECOVER FROM THIS. Do not rush it. You will only make it weaker if you try to rush its recovery.
Sounds like you may be able to get a rx for some gh bro.

**D-Lats** · 10-03-2011, 07:56 PM

Noooo that fucken SUCKS!! I feel for you brother. Those kind of injuries are my worst nightmare!! I hope it is taken care of quickly and properly so you can get back to the gym ASAP.

**yerg** · 10-03-2011, 09:09 PM

thsnks guys... man it would be great if i could get an rx for some gh... if not i think ill have to get some on my own..

**Pittsburgh63** · 10-03-2011, 09:17 PM

GH definately can't hurt bro.. Sorry to hear about you situation. Wish you a quick recovery brother. I'm nursing a f'd up wrist myself. Tore every ligament and shattered the distal radius. Probably getting my 4 surgery since March.

Hope everything works out for you

**OldSchoolLifter** · 10-03-2011, 09:33 PM

Damn yerg man!!

Peptides are your friend to a speedy recovery !

**Merkaba** · 10-04-2011, 12:30 AM

Holy shit dude that sucks. I never do alot of bicep stuff cause i feel like they are about to pop when do 50lbs concentrations! I never really go higher than that. Take your time....

**Imosted** · 10-04-2011, 12:34 AM

Good luck bro, hope all goes well...
