Well, it's not how i'd want to accomplish it, but my right bicep measures about 24" right now...
Last tuesday I was benching ( because I can't squat with the other injury described below ) and on the eccentric portion of the movement I felt something pop in my bicep near where it attaches under pec minor. It didn't start bruising until last friday. I still can't believe it happened benching.
Not only that, but I competed a week ago. Crappy video but here it is anyway....
Where I hurt my foot on the yoke walk ( I pulled my plantar fascia where it attaches at the front of my arch ). The injury happened at about 1/4 of the way through the event, I'm convinced it's because it's really hard to find good shoes in size 16. I guess no more doing yard work barefoot. Crap
At least I won my division.

Thanks. Weird thing is that the bicep is not painful in the least, and I have complete full range of motion.Originally Posted by pharmamarketer

Congrats on winning your class.
Both foot anxd bicep look rough. Crazy the bicep doesn't hurt.
I couldn't imagine pulling the plantar fascia. What is the recovery process for something like that?

Is that a pec tear? From the injury you described, kinda sounds like the tendon tore off the humerus. Hope you heal up soon.
It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

heal up there, big guy...we know you will be competing again!
Lift as MUCH as you can, for as MANY reps as you can,
while in complete control of the exercise.
