Hey layne thanks for showing your recovery. I ripped my rotatorcuff and had my bicep tendon cut and re-attached. I've been discouraged and afraid that I would never be able to get in there and do some serious lifting ever again.
Your thread gives those of us with injuries hope.Last edited by mntbikedude; 03-17-2009 at 12:22 PM.
You can, and need to find a ground that you know you are suppose to stand on.. hence, stand your ground, this is the place where you know everything is as it should be for you. If you stand in a place where you know in your heart things are wrong, most things around you will never be right.
Rule number one, never work at being what another man defines as being "honorable", Honorable is is being true to what you know and and doing what you know is right for you..

Good God layne you are strong for your size. I remember a long time ago seeing a video of you maxing 385 on the bench, so I was wondering where you were at these days.
I never ever go wide on bench. I always go a little past shoulder width and go nice and slow on the negatives. I have a buddy who uses typical noob form - he goes really wide, really heavy and bounces the bar off his chest while simultaneaously throwing his ass in the air for extra oomph. I'm going to refer him to this peck tear thread LOL.
You have an unnatural amount of power for your size. I'm glad to see you in powerlifting and taking advantage of the strength God gave you.

oh please everyone is weak when they start lifting. I have the strongest chest amongst my friends and I can only bench 345 x 1 on a good day. You are only 30lbs heavier than me but could probably out bench me by at least 100+lbs. I won't even get into deads or squats. You are elite at your weight for being all natural.
Just take the damn compliment LOL

You're really coming back nicely. I hope this injury never happens to me, i'd literally just start crying in front of the entire gym.
The injury may have taken a huge part of your training out, but it's awesome to see the dedication you have to the sport. With an injury like that i, and probably most people, would never think of going back to the gym for a while. Diet would probably fall out of place, etc., but it looks like you just came back stronger than ever. Congrats on the DL, hope to see you compete soon again"ive seen you around a few times. something is wrong with you. srs." -Joshua91

Think this may have just saved me from a potential future injury, thanks. Just getting back into my training after a 4 year layoff and have been using compound exercises to build strength back up. Hearing stuff like this just reminds me, good control and decent form at all times can help to reduce the risk of these sorts of injurys. Wont be using wide grips ever again either. Thanks again.
