APA-WPA WORLDS REPORT:

The first comment I want to make is this: I MET ALOT OF GREAT PEOPLE IN MO!

My day

Got to the VENUE around 8AM. I helped a few lifters find their rack heights and tried to help those who never used a MONOLIFT understand how to setup under one. During warmups I helped load, spot and run the monolift. My warmups for the SQUAT felt GREAT. My hip felt good and my knee didn't hurt. Helping others in the warmup room is what I do and it took nothing away from me. I felt great.

Squats - RAW

opener 700lbs - smoked it, deep and strong - blew it up.
2ND 750 - 2 reds - called on depth? the crowd gasp'd -
3RD 825 - this is what I came here to do.....got 3/4 of the way up and could not thrust the hips forward to finish it. Missed it.

BENCH - RAW
385 - EASY
405 - EASY
435 - HEAVY! BUT GOT IT! 5LBS PR!

DEAD - RAW
675 - UP AND GOOD
710 - 5LBS PR! FELT GOOD!
725 - FLEW UP SO EASY, INCHES FROM LOCKOUT BLEW LEFT BICEPS TENDON...will call doc Monday and schedule appointment.

NASHAMANIA is not dead...


 I'll be back....

Wow dude, good job.   

Sorry to hear about the arm, I hope you recover well. 

 

[Hedgehog]

Very sorry to hear about your injury Nash.

Very impressive lifting, and congrats on the PB.

[NATIVE ONE]

Sorry to hear that nash. I'm working through a tendon tear too. Hope all goes well.
Good lifts.

Have a 10AM appointment with the surgeon. He is the same one who repaired the right biceps tendon back in July '05 and removed a bone spur in my left shoulder in May '06. I think after this one he needs to add me to his Christmas card list.

NASH you are one bad motha! Good showing, sorry bout the arm though. Its crazy how many people blow a bicep on deads. How does it happen?

[nasht5]

it tends to happen on biceps that the hand is rotated open. this places immense stress on the lower biceps tendon on the inside of the elbow. any small bend in the elbow places more stress on this tendon. POP GOES THE TENDON.

The short answer is poor technique. one should keep their arms STRAIGHT - NO BEND IN THE ARMS WHATSOEVER.

This is the only thing I could think of for why my tendon blew. no video.

[Stubborn]

Makes sense. If you are "bending your arm" with 600+ hanging in your hands, you are a BEAST.



Of course most people around here can curl that much for sets of 10.

You're correct.

i know 3 guys who have torn their bicep doing deadlifts with an over/under grip.

one guy tore his right off the floor because yanked the bar with his arms to help get it going, bad idea.

this is why i deadlift double overhand now, it's much more difficult but your grip will catch up in time.

Good luck with your recovery.

[overcome]

damn, its been a while since I've read your thread.  your lifts are just plain amazing, I'm trying my best to get my squat to 500, I cant even imagine what 825 would feel like on my shoulders.  hell I doubt I could even unrack that shit.  good luck on your recovery, hope it doesnt put you too far back.

[nasht5]

thank you everyone. it is time for me to walk off into the sunset. only to return at a later date like a theif in the night.
like GENERAL MACARTHUR said - "I SHALL RETURN".
