3rd place beantford championships-heavyweights

just finished a heavy duty training session! had a tremendous off season was just shy of 250, still very lean without dieting. Had packed on a ton of quality size 2 days before my chest injury.

the day before, just doing some front and back profile picks. was going to photo archive my progress. Was getting ready to prep for the mississauga level 2 show in may, was one of my last workouts before my pre contest and dieting...little did I know that in 24hrs that i would rip apart my chest and be watching the mississauga's from the crowd..using the disappointment and anger as motivation to get back!

3.5 hrs of surgery and 23 staples later, my chest reattached. feb 23 2008 the day after my surgery. I had suffered 100% rupture of my left pec( major) tendon. Have no idea what happend was on my last set of bench..felt tight hesitated a brief sec..should i rack it right away and call it a day or finish the rep then rack it..next thing i know i felt three pops in my chest and heard what had sounded like 3 shots being fired from a cap gun..i got pinned under 335lbs for a brief sec. I knew what i did right away, knowing that feeling from tearing up my bicep playing ball...i got extremely angry and heaved the bar off of me got up screeming every swear word i could think of, kicking the bar. My co-worker looked at me in shock and horror after hearing the sound of my chest tearing..asking me if i was hurt or pissed. I tore off my shirt looked at him as my chest began to swell and said IM ****ING BOTH ! lol

about 15-17 days after my surgery had just got all 23 staples removed. To my Dr surprised i had full range of motion. began lifting/rehabing right away, whatever movement i could do without pain i did. My dr made me swear that i wouldn't be a meat head and do something stupid lol. Having the surgery immediately had proven to be vital, it prevented major atrophy, eventhough there had been significant loss of size on my left side.

2 weeks later I had just seen my dr, he had tested my strength and my range of motion, He gave me his blessing to go ahead and start full lifting. I had already worked my back in the last few weeks but avoided any over head movements until this day...

REDEMPTION!!!!!2 weeks ago, first set of bench since tearing my chest...had been heating the hammer strength flat and incline and working on dbs as well...strength had comeback more then enough to start working bench again. This was the exact same bench i tore it on back in feb, got up to 275 for 10 easy after working my way up. ended booting a couple of pencil necks off the bench so i could use this one.

BACK TO FULL GO!getting the size in bi's back old school styles doing the 1 to 10 method and yes using the arnie arm blaster..F$%%ing awesome almost threw up working so hard..never thought a arm workout could do that to me
