Jesus Mike, thats some nasty lookin shit right there bro.
It's good that it didn't hurt, but it sure does look like it did.
Glad it's over with bro.

Yeah? Lets hear.

**MIKE_XXL** · 08-12-2002, 10:37 AM

What happen was i got a very intense pumb do to a number of factors, inlcuding large volume of sets, slin and site injection, but that was not the problem, everything was going great untill i stretched my arms out, i woke up the next morning and everything was very, very tight, so i thought i would stretch it out and as i did, i felt a little tear here and there by the night time it started turning purple, by next morning it was all black and blue, the pics here are 3 days after it happened, it was a bit worst a day or so before i had a chance to take some pics...moral of the story i don't stretch hard, not my bis anyway...XXL

**BigLou** · 08-12-2002, 10:58 AM

Hey XXL,

Didn't know that happened to you! Good thing you recovered quickly. I hear you about the superman comment. After having back surgery I will never go for ultra heavy set and ignore danger signs.

**Gene** · 08-12-2002, 11:25 AM

Wow so sorry it had to happen to a dedicated bro like you.
Just wondering, did you see a doc that day, if so, what came of that?

And I hear yall on the superman deal... Best to start being careful before the injuries pile up.

Best regards
Gene

**The French Curler** · 08-12-2002, 11:43 AM

Damn, next time be more careful! I'd hate not being able to train my biceps.

**freakout** · 08-12-2002, 10:27 PM

Great to see and read that you are fine now.

Sorry for not corresponding with you as I have been rather busy lately.

All the best for the competition and keep us updated!!!

P.S. Torn my hamstring as well... could understand how you feel...

**symatech** · 08-12-2002, 10:33 PM

well man its badass to see you recover so quickly. Thats some wicked lookin shit man, hope peeps here can learn from this....i sure did.

peace and best wishes on your contest

**tt333** · 08-13-2002, 03:50 AM

Damn that looks like it would hurt. Its wierd how they both look like that. Ive seen guys before that would tear one bicept but not both.

**Carlos_E** · 08-13-2002, 11:03 AM

Wow, it's great to see you recovered so quickly.

**Razorcuts** · 08-13-2002, 11:38 AM

Woooah ! This looks scary !
What happened with the torn muscle tissue ? Did it heal or did you have a surgery ? A friend of mine has a torn muscle-fibre and he has a gap in his bis now....

***Shredz*** · 08-13-2002, 11:52 AM

Sorry about the bi tears..but am glad to see that you made a speady recovery, and just in time for your dieting! Good luck with what you are about to go through to get yourself prepared for the 2 shows you have coming up. If you need anything drop me a line.

See ya at the show!
Shredz

**Little Jonah** · 08-14-2002, 12:14 AM

glad to hear that your all better now.... man thats nasty damn
haha

**tigress** · 08-14-2002, 03:26 PM

Ouch. That looks like it hurt. I always warm up before stretching hard, actually, I even warm up before lifting.

**jon** · 08-15-2002, 04:06 PM

Looks very painfull luckelly for you it didn't hurt much

**racer_inboston** · 08-15-2002, 04:21 PM

glad u r ok bro!!!!!
good luck in your contest!!!!!!!!!!

**Dr. Derek** · 08-15-2002, 05:28 PM

Shit man when you told me about this right after it happened I didn't think it looked that bad.......YOU REALLY ARE SUPERMAN----

**primodonna** · 08-15-2002, 09:05 PM

WTF...looks like some 5 year old got a little too crazy with the purple and blue crayola's

**BLOOD** · 08-15-2002, 09:27 PM

It hurts just to look at that.

**demetri** · 08-16-2002, 05:07 AM

That looked so freakin painful. I'm hoping you sedated yourself with many beers those first two weeks.

Good job on the quick recovery. I don't know if I would have had the gonads to stick it out and recover in such a short time.

**havoc** · 08-18-2002, 09:44 AM

Mike, i can't beleive you didn't need surgery. everyone i know that torn a bicep needed surgery. there is somebody watching over you man. glad your ok.
