I’ve finally sustained a “major” injury that requires surgery.

Last week I unfortunately completely tore my right distal biceps tendon, and it requires surgical reattachment.

The worst part is I didn’t do it training - I did it bowling of all things.

I’ll update this thread with pics and the recovery process. Surgery on Monday. Staying positive.

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

That sucks Hurt. You aren’t the first guy to tear a bicep bowling.

Empathizing with you brother.

Ugh... hope it was at least a strike.

If it makes you feel better, I tore my left RC for the 2nd time by slipping down icy stairs trying to catch myself.

All the best!

Any of you guys have any signs before the injury?

I’ve had something nagging my right bicep... I’ve severely cut back on training bis for a few months now but I’m starting to get to the point of just sucking it up and ignoring it.

Definitely not feeling right though and all I can picture is it tearing.

I had clear signs before I tore my Achille's. Don't ignore them!!!! Your body isn't lying to you.

Hey Vid, I went to the doc when I noticed my bicep had moved just a little towards the elbow joint when hanging to my side. Didn't tear the tendon but stretched it I guess. Doc said to take it easy, or it would tear. Bicep being out of place is something you spot directly (hopefully not hanging down too far).

Thanks man. Yeah it’s been a bit. Stepped away from all social media for a while to focus on what’s in front of me in “real life”...one of the best things I’ve done.

I hadn’t noticed anything and felt completely fine/healthy right before it happened.

Guess who just gave up his twice yearly bowling habit? This guy.
