I tore my bicep.

FML.
what was the exact feeling? I strained my bicep really bad...would i know if it was a torn bicep right away or no?

curious what you felt--- i couldn't extend my right arm fully out for about 2 days...now i can though easily
 
well... looks like it'll be a top heavy or cutting type summer...
finally got xrays for my knee and doc diagnosed it as a lateral meniscus tear
it looked exactly as my right knee did when it was torn 4 years ago.....
MRIs later this week..... I HATE not being able to do legs, esp heavy. They're my favorite days
 
injuries do suck... and i notice the same with deads, not soo much squats.... i mainly notice it when my core weakens though. so it's all upper body and core strengthening along with just keeping my legs "in shape" or as strong as possible so when surgery comes, PT isn't as hard as it should be. i can't really do any weighted squats so i just do the bar and press afterwards. worked on one legged squats/presses today and a lot of stability work, needless to say my left knee wasn't having it =/

i had a acl/partial meniscus tear back on Halloween...
i had surgery to clean up and fix my meniscus tear about a month ago... my doctor didn't say i couldn't do squats, dead lifts and stuff (before surgery)...just said no deep squats...

do you know how long after meniscus surgery you cant do any leg work (weights) ?  i prompted to do my meniscus and leave ACL til winter.

Just intense stiffness. At first I thought it was just really bad tennis elbow that had been lingering. But then a few days ago when I came back home from vacation and did some dips I felt a weird clicking/popping in my elbow, didn't really think much of it and then a few hours later the bruise started developing. But the main feeling was just that pop, but I've been so used to the pops and cracks coming from that elbow for awhile now so I wasn't too worried until the bruising came. 
Also I really didn't know I tore or hurt anything right away. I just thought I might have pulled something badly or was just really sore

So I kept going. Heck even when the bruise came in I kept going at it until one of my friends mentioned his dad having a Bicep Tear and it kinda looked like the bruise I had, that was when I finally decided to get it looked at

The x-rays came back negative for any kind of bone spurs or fractures that the doctor was afraid of tho

and it turned out that the tear was somewhat minimal so no surgery for me
smile.gif
just have to stay outta the gym until the swelling and bruising goes away. I guess I got pretty lucky because most Bicep Tendon Tears result in complete tears and those usually require surgery. After that I'm gonna see a Sports Medicine Orthopedist to get some rehab around the joint since I have had tendinitis in their for YEARS now

I use lifting chalk...helps a lot.
Not a fan. Something about the texture of the bar of chalk that urks me. Aha
[color= rgb(255, 0, 0)]Personally i think using straps....Gives you false grip, if you can't hold onto the weight, you probably shouldn't be lifting it....My opinion [/color]
 
Ideally, how much cardio did you do weekly to lose fat?
This question is directed at everybody.

Thanks for the info.
 
Looking for a pre-workout supplement that will give me more energy.. Anyone have any recommendations? (I have used Jack3d but, don't really think its working or effective)

I am currently on a low-carb diet (5-10G carbs a day at most); sometimes I find myself getting tired VERY quickly when working out, so I think it might be time for a pre-workout supplement..
 
/\ pretty much... if your not prepping for a competition or wrestling tournament or something along those lines up the carbs man...
 
dont get me wrong a keto diet has its place

ive done it and its very effective

but......with any cutting diet youre most likely gonna lose strength at the gym

keto it's even more dramatic.....its not permanent but as long as you arent eating carbs you really dont have the energy, especially at the end of a workout

its the worst for me the first few weeks though, then my body gets more adjusted to it.
also if youre doing a keto diet the most important thing to remmber is to CARB UP!!! eat a %%+@+!@% of carbs and not a lot of fat on 2 consecutive days every week......for me i like saturday and sunday but you can pick whatever days. your fat loss will plateau if you dont .
