i tore both tendon's in my right bicep 2 yrs ago this april sparring. threw a hard hook to the body but accidentally caught the hip bone. the force of the punch plus the impact of the opponents body weight (230 lbs) colliding snapped em right now. i was out for about 3 months and lost a lot of strength and even more size. after i came back i was like a beginner. i just took my time and although the weights were relatively light my intensity was thru the roof and after just 2 to 3 months people that didn't know i had been off couldn't even tell.i had put my size back on and my strength was back on certain exercises. i did have to listen to my body and that is definitely easier said than done. overall surgery went great and when i hit a front dbl bicep pose you wouldn't be able to pick the one that i had the surgery on. hope all goes as good for you as it did me baby1 although at the time it didn't seem like it lol
