about 4 months ago, I went in the gym, at the time I was going in heavy 6 days a week, not letting myself heal bc I was jobless and bored, and I warmed up, than my buddy wanted to to straight bar skull crushers, which I hate bc my form never feels right, on the 3rd set I popped the bar up, not even heavy at all, and as I was putting it down toward my head "pop!!!.........Pop!!!!" 2 pops heard from my spotter that was 5 feet away, I pressed up with my left hand enuf so that the right didnt drop on my face, got an mri and I had a tricep tendon tear about 90% of the way, about 1 inch promiximal from olecrenon process (on forearm) where it attaches. I had surgery in which he had to fish it out, so 5 inch scar, a shit ton of scar tissue at first, when I woke from surgery I was screaming "fuck" worst pain I ever felt, they gave me a nerve block, which is pretty serious, and after the 1st week went by from a 90 degree angle I had about 5 degrees of motion in either direction. 1 1/2 months later almost had all my range of motion, 2 months after I had range of motion, but could barely do 10 pounds on sit down bench, Now im up to 3 plates on that arm for 10, before surgery I could do 5 plates w that arm for 2 (hammer strength )
