hoooly shit that hurt to watch, the way it just curls up inside his arm :-X

Now put in him in a time machine to 1994 and he'll be able to win several consecutive Olympias! :D

That guy is suffering from a severe case of Palumbosism.
His arms and legs are skinny and his midsection of his body is huge.
He looks like one of those tics that you pull out of your dogs back that drank to much blood.
You know the ones with the huge blimp like bodies, and the skinny little limbs

I did that doing bent over barbell rows. I actually heard it snap. Cool!

How was grip? Under hand?

Yup. Did my set, straightened up to rack it, leaned forward a little to get bar in rack and SNAP! Had surgery to have tendon re-attached. Long recovery time. Its been about 4 years and I still have pain in that elbow.

Wow, That was tough time bro.. :o

no worries. when they re-attached tendon, it shortened my bicep. so now i have a nice little peak on it!

How is the power? Same as before?
Feeling of contraction is different?

contraction still feels the same. i did lose some strength tho that seems permanent, but its not significant.

emn,
was it preventable in any way? more warmup, etc Or just the way the cookie crumbles?

no. orthopod told me it was a freak thing. said he has seen patients that have done it playing volleyball, taking dog for walk (lol), etc. shit happens.

Did you pay out of pocket to have it re attacehed? My doctor would not recommend surgery because only one of the two tendons tore (at the shoulder) and I am not a professional athlete. Because he wouldn't make the referral to the ortho surgeon my insurance wouldn't cover it. I wanted to smack him in the mouth when he said "It makes your biceps peak look better."
So now I have to limit my bicep curls to like 40lbs or I get micro tears that fill arm up with blood.

Any way that you could not seek a second, third, fourth opinion, until you get a doc who isn't a douche?

Mine tore from the elbow, where I think there is only one attachment (i could be wrong). My insurance paid for it. Although my orthopod did tell me that i could live without having it re-attached. the only downside is that my left arm would be much weaker. i chose to get it fixed. it also looked very deformed.

I pretty much gave up on it since I have no plans to compete anymore. When this originally occurred all of doctors that I spoke with wouldn't agree to it. Living in Gainesville (back then) they only wanted to operate on you if you were a Gator football player or Jags player.
F'n $hitheads.
It's been a couple years since and the end of the tendon is probably healed too much for surgery. It sucks cause I can always feel it when I'm curling. If I push it too hard...the bruising starts.

I agree, shop around bro. someone will give you the go ahead.

Being natural and not doing 1 rep max helps. :D Flexibility helps reduce chance of tears but stretching right before lifting increases the chance of tears, shaking the arm etc. to get some blood in there will reduce chance of tears.
Juicers muscles strengthen faster than their tendons so basically it's a huge muscle held on by a thin weak rope. Because naturals muscles grow and strengthen at the rate their supposed to our tendons are able to strengthen and adapt to these stressfull weights and extra muscle mass we are carrying and the chances of a tear occuring are FAR lower.
Victor martinez tore his hamstring getting into his car, branch warren tore his tricep falling down the stairs, samir bannout tore his tricep throwing a punch.
Lol

correct there is only 1 attachment at the elbow, and that is the attachment that was torn in the video and it sucks, i tore both bi's in the same year and it sucked
-
Thats horrible man...but if you had a good surgeon and good rehab, the attachment may be stronger than before. Often, people get distal tendonosis from wear and tear and the tendon weakens. When they repair a torn distal bicep (or tricep or any tendon), they should shave off the end to expose healthy tendon before fixating it to the bone (which is also 'cleaned up' with a burr)
-
Dballn, if your primary doc wouldn't give you a referral you need to switch docs. Its not his job to decide if the surgery is or is not in your best interest. His job is to discuss your options and give you an opinion. True they often don't repair proximal bicep tears but if I had one that affected the strength and appearance, I'd want it repaired. After being torn for several years, it may be a very difficult surgery with few surgeons wanting to intervene, but if you go to a big center, they may be able to use a graft. Probably would be a long recovery though...maybe longer than the typical 6 months and the quality of repair depends on the quality of the tendon you have left (and skill of the surgeon). You'd have to see a revision upper extremity specialist.

With that weight, use straps...

that won't stop you tearing your bicep idiot.
you must use both hands hook grip, underhand grip = disasterous.
-
I f'n hated straps and never used them. Then I tore my distal bicep. So, now I use an overhand grip for deads and shrugs and if its over 315, I use straps. Fortunately, I had my bicep repaired and its fantastic. I may have lost a tiny bit of strength but its insignificant (like loosing 1 rep on a heavy set of dumbell curls).

I meant to include that. Don't use underhand grip.

Dorian used underhand grip when he did bent over rows. I wonder why his bicep never tore; it must be luck.

ummmmmm. . .it did tear. . .

Well I guess I have to change my favorite back workout now because everybody says reverse grip barbell rows are bad lol. Dammit Dorian you and your reverse grip approach! :) yeah right

Where did you train in Gville? I was at Gainesville gym Freshman year, then switched over to the gym on campus.

I love reverse grips, but I'm scared to tear anything so I've been using straps even with light weight. I'm hoping it'll make it a little safer.

Gainesville Gym from 97 to 05, then the powerhouse. Some strong mofo's in gville gym.

Another "iron warrior" aka middle aged juicer getting what he deserves.
Nice job. ;)
-
Yeah,using a grip that have your "hand palm" away from you puts too much stress on the bicep,and that's not beacuse he's "juicing"
-
I would have contacted an attorney if my doctor didn't refer me to an orthopedic surgeon. How can a doctor deny you a fully functional arm if there is a repair available? I had a complete bicep rupture like the guy deadlifting. The surgeon said you only have a two week window before the chances of success diminishes greatly for a repair. He said one of his patients waited for months and the only thing he could do was to graft a tendon from a cadaver to his patient.
I got the same thing in the emergency room. The doctor said you still have one good arm. Another doctor heard that and said this man is a weight lifter and he also needs it for his occupation. I fought the insurance company and doctors but I had my operation in 4 days by a surgeon who specializes in only arm operations. Now it's 99% except for a neat 4 inch scar.
-
Don't use the ego form on rows and your biceps are less likely to be torn. Keep your back near parallel to the floor and no jerking but steady rowing.
-

Most muscle tears are endured by people on gear. It's a matter of getting too strong, too quick.
I won't disagree with you on technique though.

My doctor wouldn't make the referral to the ortho. I met with the ortho on my own for a consult, they wouldn't recommend surgery. However when I herniated my L5-S1, every doctor I went to said surgery. Perhaps theres more money in back surgery.
Regardless I have no ambitions to compete anymore but it sucks having it in the back of my mind that I could completely snap it. For anyone who's never snapped a tendon it sound like snapping a carrot.

Your such a douche man. I tore my bicep and had been clean for over a year prior to tearing it. I was dieted down, overtrained and went to heavy. But I guess it was that last 6 week cycle of halodrol that was the nail in the coffin that I did 14 months before then. Just like all your gains now have been enhanced from the one cycle you did of M1T, huh Crotch ::)

I read a science article on Mescape about distal bicep tears and they were not more prevalent in steroid users, unlike pec tears. I know several people who've torn their biceps and they're not even weight trainers.
-
The REAL problem is using a mixed grip.
A bodybuilder should always use double overhand grip and straps. NO need to use mixed grip during regular training.
Ever hear of anyone who got a biceps tear doing double OH grip deadlifts..?
