Can u do any further damage by doing a meet? If not then go for it.

Tear it up Ken! I guess if it is torn off the bone, it cant tear anymore. Weight lifter logic.
only the middle of the left is off the bone. rt is worse i got to get a mri on it to see how much it is torn. they have been torn for awhile and i have been just toughing it out. bench today was strong i am sure the ortho won't want me to do any more damage lol

Get some Ken. What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.

Damn Ken, things were going so good for you. I know you were talking about another meet too. I'm kind of wondering how much that tendon is used in your bench considering how far you came.

Sorry to hear Kenny. Six weeks is nothing though bud, you'll be back at it the start of the new year. Take some time to relax and enjoy your friends and family. Peace and good luck.
