benching today (275) and the weight got away from me and i got stapled. when it hit bottom i felt a little pop up high near my shoulder on the underneath side of my arm and i could tell i hurt something. my doc works out at my gym and he said tricep (muscle) tear. so light weight hi rep for the next 6 weeks. i was hoping to compete again in nov but this might not me out of that unless i want to just go and do a token lift of 300 lbs or so just to stay in powerlifting watch standings

Ken perhaps your training style just isn't for you any more .You can't keep fukking yourself up and just keep doing what your doing.

I'm very sorry to hear about that. I still have issues from my last bicep detachment last Sept.

Do what the Dr says. Take a break and reevaluate things.

Heal up ken. You're having a string of bad luck with the injuries.

Sounds like some time off could do you some good. Over the years, we put alot of stress on our muscles and joints. They can only take so much, especially the older we get.

Get well brutha.

Much like everyone else said, take it easy.. YOu don't want to cause any permanent damage to the muscle, it's just not worth it.

Ken Sass knitted me a pp warmer for xmas a few years ago. It was a little snug, my only complaint.....

Ken is at least 111 years old, I am thinking needlepoint or cactus farming.
