Thread: Tore my bicep at the elbow tonight

While performing machine flys tonight, I heard and felt the tear and snap. Then, I dropped the weight and looked at a noticeable gap between the bicep muscle and the elbow. Pain soon followed with the inability to straighten out my arm. Holy shit this hurts!!!! Back at home now, popping Advil, icing the arm and got that bitch in a sling. Gonna call the orthopedic doc in the am to schedule an appointment and see what's next.
Any of you guys experienced this? Can you give me any insight on recovery?
Oh yeah, I'm just 3 weeks into a cycle too. Should I come off?
Thanks brothers!!

Buddy just had that happen to him and he had a complete tear at the same spot. He had surgery within 4 days. Quick surgery, Minimal scar and the doc told him 6 months for recovery. Really was not that bad, all things considered.

Prior to surgery the doc will ask if your taking any medication. I had surgery and the doc told me to stop taking Test (only told him I was on TRT). He said it can affect the anesthesia and causes excessive bleeding. I listened to him.

Good luck brother and please keep us posted.

I can tell its a partial tear but it appears to be significant one. Could be worse I guess. Thank you brother!!

You could come off the test for the surgery if it's gonna cause a problem with bleeding but I would get back on it right after because it's gonna help you recover faster. I had surgery on my neck to fix a disc back in May I stayed on test the whole time and recovered fast. I was benching and doing overhead lifts 5 weeks out but that was a different surgery than a torn bicep. Good luck with it

Sounds good brother. Thanks!!
