Bad news : full bicep rupture/tear = no competing soon. I was so ready to battle it out… but here is another challenge to overcome. I am documenting everything for my youtube, first video is actually online right now, just click the link in my bio. It happened not even during training, it was moving something heavy on the ground.. jerked it wrong and heard the dreaded VELCRO sound. You know what’s good though? TODAY IS LEG DAY!!!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘PS: Do not DM me about this since I won’t be able to answer all messages, if you want to know more watch the video, link in bio… thanks everybody for the support, LET’S KEEP ON MOVING FORWARD!
