he needs to be watched closely by the people around who actually care about him and not the bodybuilder. with his past addiction issues dealing with this could cause a relapse.

Bicep tear.

Really awful, you hate to see someone go through so much then hit a major setback right before the payoff.

But if it heals well and he maintains his current attitude/composure, I think this puts him in the running for a pro win in 2020. He’ll be well-rested and might be able to add the 5-10lbs he’s been missing.

Agree it totally sucks.
He's been hovering between 257 and 260 shredded so he really could have done some damage this year. If it's a complete rupture he should have it fixed.

Slingbladerman should bring him to Cally to have Calum's doc fix it. I won't hold my breath.

This sucks for him. Hopefully, he doesn't let it get the best of him. He was looking amazing and was/is a true feel good story.

MRI done and surgery scheduled.

Has a great support system which is key.

Agreed. Though relatively speaking, coke is easy to get over.

He needs to ditch his friends that use. This is his health - which I fear for - and life we're talking about.

Do we have evidence that Antoine met fellow Montreal'er Georges St-Pierre?

On Bro Jogan's podcast, GSP mentioned being friends with bodybuilders whose bodies were messed up. Does anyone know which BB he was referring to?

probably not Antoine because he said this was his first serious injury.

Im guessing MMA fighters has more injuries than bodybuilders to be honest. Maybe not muscle tears but joint damage and ligament tears.. + they get brain damage.

so whats the point of potentially making alot of money but then at the end of your career you're not even yourself anymore with brain damage

Great post. Those aspiring to be either bodybuilders or MMA fighters should be made aware of these risks.

Sure he will bounce back from this. He has already proven that he is resilient and can overcome mental and physical challenges so I don't see this derailing him too much. I hope it doesn't as he seems like a decent dude and I wish him well.

He’ll be better served by quitting bodybuilding and getting a job.

no gym lifting, but lifting some heavy object in an akward position.

That’s because he lacks functional strength.

Good point. So many of these guys have no backup plan and even if you're healthy it will come to an end.

So many pimping CBD oil now.

Bodybuilders are in general, too lazy to actually get a job where they have to work at anything more strenuous than getting buttfucked or smoking some schmoe's wang. I think they call this being an "artist's model".
