Nothing much…

August 2025, I tore my tricep pretty bad. The experts told me I wouldn’t be able to bench heavy again for at least a year…

I started benching again after a few weeks. It was just a 20 kg bar at first, and it felt heavy. Every week, I added small jumps—1.25 kg at a time whenever I could hit 10 reps. There was a bit of pain, but nothing too crazy.

It was frustrating at times because of how much strength I’d lost. Sometimes I felt embarrassed, so I isolated myself and focused on working on me—both mentally and physically.

I received a lot of love and support from my wife, friends and family, my coach, teammates, and fellow lifters, so I had to keep pushing. Week by week, the bench got a little heavier, and the tricep got a little stronger.

7 months later, I’m stepping onto the platform, going after the same weight that tore it in the first place—time for some revenge.

It wasn’t a comp PB, but it meant more than that to me. Weeks and weeks of pain, rehab, stress, and training all paid off. This is probably my favourite lift so far, as small as it might seem.

I’m confident the tricep is solid. Now it’s time to chase big numbers… or tear it again—only time will tell.

Anyways…
Cool story bro 😂
