Another torn bicep!!!!

[brent2741]

torn my left distal bicep last night doing deadlifts, had 675 in the bar and about 3/4 of the way up POP and away it went. I tore my right distal bi on march of this year and its fully recovered but i guess i had to complete the torn bi set with both the left and right.

Shit    hope you heal quickly man. I know how frustrating it is to have injuries holding you back

You need to get to the hospital ASAP.

If the tear is major, you probably need the surgery within 5-7 days, with the wound being fresh and all.

just as long as its done in the first 2-4 weeks you should be fine, unfortunately this is not my first bicep tear,

Sorry to hear that, Brent. Yes, you may want to cool it on the PL scene for a bit but I wouldnt give it up completely. Unless you think you're just not built for it?


Scary stuff. I have had a partial tear in the bicep, pec, and hamstring but never a full disconnect. Hope I never have to experience that!

dude that sucks..don't give it up though.. just heal up, take your time and slowly get back into it. AND you need to get surgery asap.. 2-4 weeks is imho... the worst thing you could do with an injury like this.

It looks bad enough! I would say its time to give up the under handed grip

HOOK GRIP, learn it - love it - deadlift again. Never give up - never surrender.

I've torn them both while deadlifting with the alternated grip. I know it is not a career ending injury.

Sorry to hear about that Brent...this is my first time really checking out this board and I am finding some good info but then I read your thread.  sucks

I do have a question then, should I not use an alternate grip then?  I had been just switching my grip to the alternate grip on my heaviest lifts but I REALLY would not like to tear my bicep if that is what I am asking for...

thanks for any info, I have a ton to learn about this...
