popped my tricep tendon around sept 1st. had surgery oct 12th. i didnt realize how long that it takes to come back from this type of injury. i havnt done any lifting since (so i look like shyt!!) and i've only had the range of motion to touch my nose for about 2weeks!! the brace came off yesturday, but its still pretty tender. i dont recomend that anyone fuks up their tricep tendon...its a ***** to come back from!!
