I thought that's who it was in a previous video. lol

Real

lol the classic look of a circus performer from the late 1800s. Bald huge white guy in tights with a handle bar mustache performing feats of strength for entertainment. The OG’s

Hair transplant looks great. Should do some before and after photos or video

Haven't had a bicep tear but deathly afraid to get one. So I am awaiting the day until James Fuller of Strongman Archeology releases his book on bicep health he mentioned during you guys' interview. Seem to be unintentionally doing more reps for bloodflow and tendon health because of my fear of the tear. 😅

December 2008, I tore the insertion of my left biceps off the ulna bone. It pulled free with a loud snap. The way I snapped it was doing 105 chained around my waist for sets of 8 on underhand pull-ups with an EZ bar. First set, no sweat. It let go on the 5th or 6th rep of second set. Showing off for the wife. ;) At first I wasn't sure what happened because there wasn't much pain (common), but I knew intuitively that something fairly catastrophic had occurred. I was really hoping I hadn't torn my biceps... then showering later, sure enough, the biceps was getting shorter. A couple weeks later I had it re-attached by a very skilled plastic surgeon who specialized on hands. I began super light training 8-10 weeks later (at surgeon's recommendation). My big question for the surgeon was, "When can I go full throttle?" If I remember right, he said I was good to go in 6-12 months, but that the hole in my forearm bone and the titanium button he'd attached the tendon to would be fully calcified in 18 months. That's what I wanted to know. Up until 18 months, I trained "for a pump" to get blood to the area without placing undue stress. Once past 18 months, I jammed the accelerator to the floor and haven't looked back. Surgeon did a great job. Russ Barlow, awesome powerlifter from Maine suffered a biceps tear, had it reattached and later exceeded his best dead. I don't recall his exact poundage now but it was well into the 8s. His recovery inspired me. The injury has left an impressive S shaped scar from my biceps down my forearm. As a conversation piece, it's second only to a war wound or bear/tiger attack. Best of luck!

I had proximal bicep tear and was repaired with surgery. Why was surgery not recommended?

is PF the one with the lunk alarm

@@richardbottom9843 yeah but ive never seen it be used at all even when people are being loud in the one I go to

*Plumb wild strong* Ha nice

That bicep tear pretty much ruined any chances.

@@thebiggestpanda1 Plenty of bodybuilders tear muscles and go on to compete further. Even cbum tore his bicep, and many other pros have torn quads and hamstrings.

​@@thebiggestpanda1not true. Judges might deduct points for things but the overall package is what is added up. Sometimes politics and favoritism.

@@JT-yx7vf did they win though?

I noted that too his left leg 🦵

Doing the best I can. I've pulled over 800 maybe 200 times in my life but right now I'm fighting harder fights.

@@clintdarden654 Fair enough man, you look like you should be pulling way more so I was just confused by how amped you got to pull what I'd assumed was an easy warm up for you
