Human Strength

[Pckts]

Most bicep tears I see are usually with deadlifts, people usually have their arms bent when lifting and this causes a tear, you must always make sure to have your arms straight and to not jerk before the lift, people forget that it's their legs that start the lift off not the jerking motion.
It's never a fun injury, the bicep rolls right up and they usually need to come in through the elbow area and roll the bicep back down and attach it back and the opposite if it detaches from the shoulder. Did you need surgery @Polar or was it a partial tear?

I'm actually going in for inguinal hernia surgery this Wed, I knew it was coming, I've been feeling the pain in my abdomen for a while and it final ripped and my intestine popped through, I've been powering through and and still lifting and now I feel the same happening on my other side. I know it will come eventually (nature of the beast) but hopefully this forced time off will help with that. I'm really bummed about not being able to lift for 6-8 weeks and even then, not being able to get back to my 100% for longer but as hard as I've been on body throughout the years of fighting and training, I knew the break down would come. Unfortunately I think my days of PR'ing may be over and it may be time for preventive strength training more than anything else.

In regards to dutch fighters:
They used to rule the Kickboxing ranks, their style baffled the Muay Thai specialists of old. They implemented better boxing fundamentals and added it to their kickboxing style. Now that style is old and it's taught to every up and coming fighter and you're seeing great kickboxers from all over the world. One of my good friends and training partners is someone you should keep your eye on. His name is Giga Chikadze, he'll be fighting for the Glory title shortly. Reply
