TweetI've seen those things pop and it isn't pretty.

Hope you have a great recovery.

TweetA complete rupture means a bigger scar from surgery, so yours should not be to bad. Your looking at being around 90% healed in 5-6 month mark, if your assisted chemically . Is your surgeon going to weave Kevlar through the tendon?

Tweetbest of luck dave, it's funny how stubborn we are when it comes to get something checked even when something like this happens. It'll feel great when you know you can train without that nagging injury.

Tweetyea powerpress, thats what he said.

that exactly how i'm seeing it...i'm actually excited to get it domne!!1 i been working around this since 2006!!!

TweetDont rush P/T and just because you might feel better sooner then the doc said be careful dave your not young anymore,thats right OLD

TweetOh damn dave...thats serious. Maybe this is a good thing to finally know and get the surgery so you can be back to full strength.
Dave, can you describe exactly the symptoms you have had,like a short history, how this started, like what types of exercises hurt the worst, etc? Where exactly on the elbow does it hurt? What did that sports med doc do to diagnose it so quick?
Good luck brutha

TweetMan, that loud pop sound in the gym is freaky. I was doing pullups one time and snapped my long head bicep tendon. People from across the gym came runnin over "WTF was that???" My bicep was totally deformed. It has been totally deformed ever since. lol The only surgery for a long head bicep tear is cosmetic. Its one of the few tendons in the body that we can live without. The good thing now is that bicep has a real huge peak on it now that i didnt have before the tear. LOL
