Biceps tear

Well ,just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water . I tore the long head of the biceps today on my third set of snatches with the 72. Pretty much the exact same spot I did it to last year, using the same weight.

It seems that throwing the two pood overhead exceeds the structural capacities of my modest connective tissue structure. But I am a slow learner it seems. not sure how bad it is although I have a visible gap in the top of the outer biceps near the deltoid. Ice anti inflamms, compression, elevation and light emu oil massage.

Back into rehab mode it seem. But tomorrow will tell much more.

190 x 1 x 12, 210/225 static holds, 24 kg goblet squats, floor pushups 30, 20

 This went VERY well almost all reps identical. Realized I get better drive AND minimize shoulder stress if I unrack it with more weight on ...
