| » Partial bicep tear (Go to post) | 17-05-2016 @ 17:06 | ||
| I tore my bicep tendon completely of the bone of my forearm 2 years ago. I had surgery I was in a sling for 6 weeks after 4 I was removing sling to try and move my arm during physio. Took me 12 weeks to get full range of movement in my arm as I had bad nerve damage in my forearm from the operation. This held my recovery back alot. Took me a year to gain full strength and movement as I waited for the nerves to recovery 1mm a day or something I was told. 2 years on I've still got slight numbness in my forearm and hand from nerve damage but strength is 90% what it was. I would still have the operation again as I'm in better shape than I would be without surgery. | |||

| Big thanks to Jay bish will and loaders for putting on great but brutal comp. Happy to have qualified disappointed i lost my 2nd spot goin into stones. 2reps was all i needed! After a week ill though and losing 4kgs in weight and being sick wen picking up stone was not good i aint doing a Jon Ruggard loland leg injury just pleased to have pulled it out to qualify. Top 3 were awesome such a good battle from every1! Congrats to Dick my training partner on 1st. | |||
