Hey all, I wanted to reach out and say THANK YOU all for your support up to this point. It means the world for me. I have a full proximal tear so I have to decide if I'm going to go through with surgery again/when/what the recovery looks like. In that time I will be recovering mentally and physically as best I can. I also have a bunch of BIG new things coming out which I will announce when I come back from this break. My team and I have been going non-stop for a long time so a nice break is needed to us to deliver the best content to all of YOU. Once again thank you, and I WILL BE BACK!
Get on Gab, your a lot less likely to get injured on Gab
make reaction videos. page will blow tf up
stay off the drugs man
Take a break bro, you and your team deserve it. Love yalls content. So don't stay gone forever
Def get the surgery again. I know it sucks but its best to have an intact tendon. You just gotta give a year before you do anything crazy, the ligament/tendon healing time is unfortunately slow.
I don’t comment much, but thank you for all that you do for all of us in the community. You are the person I watch the most. I’m really sorry to hear the news, stay strong, You got this (opie voice) 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Hey dude. You have helped my technique so much over the last several years. You’re a beast and can accomplish anything. Absolute solidarity and love to you my brother 🤝
means a lot i appreciate you!
You've been pushing hard for a very long time. A bit of a break is probably a great idea. Good luck in your recovery.
Biceps tears is 90pct drug rekated. Stay off peds and you sre pretty safe
Man I’m so sorry to hear that. I’ve had a partial bicep pull that has affected me throughout everyday life. It sucks. Get it fixed buddy.
thanks brother, I'm sorry to hear about yours!
For the past year it seems as soon as I’m healthy again a new or old injury has to show up. I feel like I haven’t been at a true 100% since last june. It’s extremely frustrating and caused me a great deal of emotional and mental pain in addition to physical, so I feel your pain. When I was rehabbing, or trying to work on technique, or looking for new workouts, you’re channel was one of the ones I discovered, and you’re videos have been extremely useful ever since. I hope you have a speedy recovery and come back stronger than ever!
Bro I’m dealing with a Hernia right now and it sucks. I don’t have Insurance and I don’t qualify for free healthcare due to the nature of my
Household. It fucking sucks
I hope we all get stronger and heal
Exact same for me. I'm kinda feeling like a shadow of my self if that makes sense.
So sorry to hear about your injury.
Went down the same road as you.
Tore my distal bicep and got it repaired- 6 months to get back.
Tore my proximal bicep - on atlas stones also. Surgeon said it didn't need to be repaired, wouldn't lose strength like on a distal tear, had a nice bicep peak.
And honestly I wish I did repair it, it's never been the same, cramps and balls up, have had a few more micro tears on the arm, stability is off.
My best advice would be to get it repaired. I wish I didn't listen to my ortho on not fixing it.
Hang in there, it takes time, but you'll recover from it
🙏
You gotta do whats best for you! We will miss you but we would rather you be healthy and mentally well. Much love bro and good luck!
thank you!
Joey!
Glad you are able to recalibrate and take care of yourself. Praying for you brotha. Appreciate all you do for the fitness community!!
Hang in there, we're all behind you and you'll always be our Coach.
Speak for yourself. Jathon Blawhaw is MY cloth.
Quality choice in coathes
It’s a hard pill to swallow, mentally, knowing you have to go through the surgery and recovery process again. Something similar happened to me last year. I had my labrum reattached and rotator cuff repaired on the right shoulder and 4 months later I discovered another rotator tear in my left shoulder I wasn’t aware of and needed surgery again! This is also after having carpal tunnel release surgury on both hands at the beginning of 2021…so 4 surgeries altogether last year for me. It really can take you to a bad place, but if you can find a silver lining for yourself it may help. Mine was “the opportunity” to develop my lower body. I spent most of ’21 doing legs 3-5 workouts/week and added about 2 inches to my thighs! Sled drags were my almost daily friend, lol! Maybe you’ll be the next Tom Platz after that bicep finally heals!
thats rough, how are you doing now?
@@SoulFighter27 Pulling motions and deadlifts are coming back at this point. OH pressing is slowly coming back and BB bench press is something I’ll probably skip for a few years!
@@jonstewart5386 nice, patience and prudence is key.
Man so sorry this has happened. Wishing you a speedy recovery you will come back better and stronger than ever. Love the content and looking forward to your return! Big love!
thank you
I just tore my ACL last night and the worry of if I’ll be able to do things like heavy squats and build my SBD totals again is definitely in my head. This year was also my year for offers for baseball and it’s all I can think about right now. Wishing you a good recovery. The mental side of this stuff is worse than the physical pain…
Hey Joey, I’ve watched your videos for years now, I hardly ever comment but this one really got me. You’ve been such an inspiration to me and soooooo helpful. Please take as much time as you need to heal and rest on all fronts. You deserve the best, take care man.
You are already in better spirits than I would be. I'm 7 weeks post op from a distal biceps tear, and I thought my lifting days were over when it went. My biggest fear is tearing the other side. Much respect for being positive and forward thinking man, and I wish you a speedy recovery!
Thank you for being there. You have helped me both physically and mentally with your content. I will miss you, but I have the utmost confidence you will be back.
keep your head up Joe. been here for years and ain't goin anywhere. your one of the most genuine people on CZcams. wish you all the best in this recovery and can't wait to see you again. love you big dog!
Stay strong brother, you will come back stronger mentally and physically.
I hope you have a speedy recovery. I never comment but I've enjoyed your content over the years and they've helped me a lot in my own training. You're a good dude and deserve good things, good luck and hope you'll be back soon!
Sorry to hear that. Getting strong is easy, staying in one piece is the real trick (especially in this sport). Good luck in your recovery.
I've been watching you from the very early days and one thing I know about you is that you always come back from the worst situation to being even stronger in mind and body. I'm praying for you Joey, take a break and when you're ready come back and blow our minds with how strong you have become. You remind me of Brian Alsrue, try and break me because in the end it will only break you. GOD bless.
Wishing you a speedy recovery and I hope we hear from you again soon. you got this coach!
Hey buddy! I know exactly what you are going through - I tore my right bicep in 2019 and my left bicep in 2020. Like you I was completely in shock and felt just deflated mentally and physically. The best thing you can do is keep putting one foot in front of the other, keep training what you can, and pick yourself up. Remember if u can get up, u can stand up, if you can stand up, u can walk, if u can walk u can run…keep fucking grinding man. Prayers up brother!
Dude that sucks, sorry to hear it happened again. All we can do is improvise, adapt, and overcome, right? Good luck with the recovery, I'm sure you'll bounce back from this with time. Just be patient with yourself.
Nooooooo not again!
Man, that sucks. Wishing you a fast and problem free recovery.
I'm a construction worker and I tore mine six months ago. it wasn't even during a heavy lift I was simply warming up with 25 pound curls, doc thinks I was already frayed from work but that the final straw was that day in the gym.
The mental anguish is real, I know how dark it can get when you are staring down the barrel of losing the things that can bring you joy. I'm praying to God that you will endure and return stronger than before.
I hope you heal up soon Boss, thats rough.
thank you so much
Very sorry to hear this , I hope you have a speedy recovery and come back stronger and help others . You have been such a good coach , a mentor and friend . All the best
I feel your huge disapointment. Injuries suck. I'm currently going through a nasty lower back problem. You will bounce back mate because you are a winner. I wish you all the best big man. And I will include you in my prayer tomorrow morning to recovery quickly. Bless. Sebastian.
Hi Joey, just wanted to say thanks. I learned a bunch from you. I thought this was an April fools at first, sucks that it isn't. Take all the time you need, heal, and get back to what makes you happy.
Damn. That sucks. I tore my left distal year before last, so I can imagine the heartbreak of tearing it at the other end. Nothing to do but get it fixed and embrace the rehab. Take it easy, bro. Be here waiting when you feel up to posting again.
Sorry to hear this Coach Joe. I think injuries get us as much mentally as physically, but you'll recover and you'll come back. We'll be here. Get well soon.
You are correct dismissing your feelings and stuffing it down would be counter productive. Feel what you need to feel brother.
Each set back allows us for an even bigger come back. Looking forward to the come back. I appreciate your transparency. It's real.
Dude, that freaking sucks! I am so sorry you are dealing with this type of injury again. I think taking a break from social media is always a good choice. It can become all consuming for those like you who give so much. In the meantime, sending you all the love, healing vibes & well wishes❤️🙏✨💪
Really sucks to hear that you tore your bicep again, man. I hope it heals up nicely and that you can get back to lifting and being active. You seem to be in a good place mentally, so I'm sure that will help you out massively. Best of luck, man.
Joey you are a great coach and athlete. Don't forget that. You have helped me and many others on CZcams. It is always a struggle to remember that we can break, mentally and physically. But one thing that cannot hinder is our passion to help others in life and fitness. Stay strong friend.
Take care of yourself and do what you need to do. Hope you have a full, safe, and speedy recovery.
Met you and Brian Alsruhe, btw, a few years ago, when my brother competed at the Lionsate Classic, which you hosted at your gym. It was a great event with a welcoming atmosphere and a great experience for both of us. Thank you for putting it on. It meant a lot to us (and to a lot of other folks there, I'm sure).
Your Strongman content has been some of the best on the web and your insights have always been valuable to me. Really hope everything goes well!
Could always do the insane Litvinov thing for all your training until it's fully healed!
OH IM BRAINSTORMING
I'm sure this is one of those times where nothing anyone says is of much consolation, even though it's greatly appreciated. When my wife was hospitalized after my first child was born, I was lost. Everyone assured me it would get better, but damn hearing that never helped. Im sure you feel like no one understands what is going on in your head, just like others in their own trials. But after getting through all that, I realized what everyone told me - thst tough times don't last but tough people do - was 100% right even if it wasn't consoling. You'll get through this and comeback, no matter how difficult it may feel right now. Praying for you man. Ave Maria.
Joey I do not ever comment on your videos, but I feel you man and I hurt for you. I tore my pec December of last year and cried the night it was diagnosed. You helped give me clarity with your first tear and I know you will inspire with how you bounce back from this one also. You are awesome man.
Get yourself well Joe, we are all cheering you on. See you back when you are ready. Thanks for the fun content.
Do what’s best for you man. You know what you have to do but don’t let injuries change who you are. You have a great personality and comebacks are a blessing in the long run!
One step back, two steps forward. Wish you the best man.
Sorry to hear man. I can sort of understand your frustration. I suffered a minor pec tear about a year and a half ago and had to take quite a bit of time off because of it. Even working back wasn't entirely possible because of the stretch it put on my pecs in certain exercises. Right in the middle of making some great progress too. We come back from these things though. It's what we do. You'll be back better than ever and I can't wait to see you achieve! You've definitely helped me with this channel.
Love the channel and content! I recently tore/pull/strained a hip flexor after sumo deadlifting, on an SBD day, with little sleep and no recovery. Bad idea. Currently can’t walk standing straight and stand straight for that matter. Hip/groin is uncomfortable all the time, and sleeping sucks. Now that I walk hunched over it’s effecting my lowback now. Really really sucks. Gym is my life. MY ENTIRE life , I don’t care what anyone says I love working out more than anything. Really reconsidering powerlifting, and what I’ll do next if I ever even do recover or go ‘back to normal’ . I love the honesty in the video and realness, it’s so relatable when people showcase experiences like this. Yes it’s really unfortunate like my experience... but still , I’m hoping a FAST FAST recovery from you, and hoping I get back into lifting as soon as possible. Like I said, it’s all I think about and love to do. Can’t blame me, it’s my meditation, my love, and my solace. Thanks for reading!^_^
joey it will be sad to not have your content but totally understand where you're at with taking some time away. get your mind, body & soul right, and we'll look forward to see you again stronger down the road
You are an absolute stud for finishing those stones! Holy smokes. Nothing but respect, I am sure you’ll be able to recover quickly and completely 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hey man, you’re a positive force on the internet and well liked and loved. Take as much time as you need. Mental health, spiritual health, and physical health are intrinsically tied together. Take time to get better and come out stronger!
support man. I have been watching you a long time and have truly enjoyed all of your content. Best of luck to you and your recovery man. Everyone's rooting for you! Look forward to seeing you back the day you are ready and time is right to come back. In the mean time, take care of your self :)
Dang, that sucks brother. I know about those injury set backs in my Jiu-Jitsu career. One of the reasons I started lifting and watching your channel. If you mentally are there and into it, rehab videos are always helpful🤙
I'm so sorry dude-- the community is gonna miss you while you're gone, but take the time you need to heal up and get back to where you want to be!
I will be back! Thank you
I am so sorry! I wish you a speedy recovery, stay strong ❤️❤️❤️🦁
I'm no body builder, strong man or even regular gym goer and I tore my labrum and had my long head of the bicep reattached. I felt absolutely defeated and crippled and it was a major blow to me financially, physically and mentally. I couldn't imagine going through this recovery twice but damn man you shrug it off no problem. I wish you the best, take care of yourself.
I was really hoping this was an April Fools post. You have always been one of my "go to" channels when a new post comes up, ever since I found your channel. It sucks that it happened, but you seem to have the attitude and drive to come back from this. Best wishes on the recovery.
I’m so sorry but I have faith that you’ll come back stronger than ever! Take care of yourself and we’ll see you soon! We’ll be here when you need us 🤗
Strong man takes strong approach to recovery 💪🏻 I totally respect your focus on the psychological aspect here, this is free time to do something different, for your morale it'll work wonders.
life gets easier bro, I hope your recovery goes well. Please take all the time you need, you'll make it through this.
From one small gym owner to another I hope you have a quick and long lasting recovery
I'm just a nobody in the strength game but I want to tell you this. If you want, you can still be very fullfilled with strength training and putting up big numbers. Just be mindful about what your weakness is in your body (at the moment biceps) and find things to get around the structural weakness. All of my joints are more or less arthritic and my left knee is the worst. I was told that according to my x-rays I shouldn't be able to get up a flight of stairs. Last year I was able to box squat 200kg alowly and with great control, which is the only way I can squat bigger weights. The way I finally got it after years of failure was accepting my limitations but not giving in to them. Just do you man, listen to your body and you will be great again
I hate to hear that. I had a full distal rupture about a year ago and it's been mentally challenging just to feel comfortable with certain lifts for me. However, sometimes I forget about the injury and thought I tore it again last night grabbing a basketball rim. I'm 43, and absolutely love fitness...so trying to tell myself to keep the weight manageable and focus on overall health at this point in my life. I understand that I could really get injured at any point, but want to be smart about how I train. Those injuries are hard, both mentally and recovery wise! Keep up the positive attitude and use your time off to refocus!
Best of luck in your healing process. You’re a great dude and I hope you find peace while you heal.
I tore mine about a year and a half ago. It sucks. The recovery sucks. But if you do everything that they tell you to do, you should be able to make a near 100% recovery. It will never be totally what it was. You’ll notice subtle differences doing some things. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
thank you for the advice I appreciate you.
I am really sorry to hear this. I have learned a lot from you and you have given us some great videos. Take your time-we will be here when you come back.
Take care! I have no doubt you will be back stronger than ever! Can't wait for your positive energy back on all channels.
Stay strong and heal up! I’m not personally into strongman or powerlifting but I love your videos and the training information you’ve been sharing for years. Thanks for all you do and get rested and get well
Take the time you need and whatever you decide that's best for you. Go for it... I'll be here when youre back. I really wish you a fast recovery.
Thank you for all you have done for me with your content. I have watched for years and learned so much that has improved my career, performance and health. I'm so sorry to hear this news bro. Just recently I was involved in a devastating motorcycle accident, so I would love to just reach and tell you to keep your head up because I understand the emotional pain that comes from a situation like this. I know this whole community supports you and your recovery. We freaking love you bro!
Good luck bro. I tore both my biceps and I'm still lifting. Just had to modify my stuff a little bit. Good luck on your recovery. Right after it happens was the worst for me. This will help you find other things you love. It did for me.
Thank you brother. I made OHP a big part of my program thanks to you and my delts and chest are exploding! You have a way of explaining stuff that seems to really click with me man. You have no idea who I am but you have been a big part of my progress these past few months. There's probably hundreds of people out there who have been helped by your content, broke thru plateaus or hit a PR as a result of your vids. So thank you brother. You will be back, and we all wish you the best in your life and recovery!
Man. I just gotta tell you, I’m in the middle of a rehabbing my distal bicep tendon tear, and I appreciate the videos you posted. This shit is tough for sure, but some of the stuff you posted when you tore yours the first time was really great and kept me going. Get better soon man and get back to inspiring people.
Very sorry to hear. Someone asked the other day my top dudes to have a gym session the other day and I said Arnie, the rock and u 🤙🏼 come back stronger legend.
You are LION Joey. Always will be, stay safe, wish you speed recovery from all my heart.
Big fan. Sorry about the injuries. As a former pro ball player I can sympathize with the injuries. They get us all sooner or later. Good luck with the rehab and come back stronger and motivated. Respect!
I am sorry to hear about your injury and I hope you are able to heal up and come back and do whatever you decide is best. A break is definitely warranted and I hope you get everything out of it that you need. Your videos have been really useful for me learning strongman and I very much appreciate them.
you are awesome thank you
Man, keep you're head up, thank you for the honesty and integrity in this video, it sucks... Just have to grit your teeth for now... Stay strong
Keep pushing man, a lot of people supporting you. Do what you have to do for yourself.
Take stock of what you have, be greatful for everything, you’ll get through this.
My mom is in her 70’s and just broke her hip, she had surgery, my dad and her as pensioners are going through hell, but they aren’t giving up, taking it one day at a time.
I lost my job last November because of the Covid madness. The government so far is refusing to pay out my employment insurance that I am supposed to be entitled to as a Canadian citizen. The company I worked for has mocked my legal attempts to get compensation.
My wife is pregnant with our first child and I am still looking for work.
Life is hard man, keep pushing forward. Never give up. Even when the world turns against you. You’ll be fine 👍👊💪
I’m in a similar boat minus the tear. Uncontrollable stressors in my life are weighing on me, and my body and mind isn’t primed for the gym or weights right now. It’s beat, and tired. Just eating as much as I can since my appetite isn’t that great now as a result.
I’ve watched a lot of your content and you’ve helped a ton. The work you put in isn’t for vain
Keep your head up. Life has really affected my training as well. I just did a show a few weeks ago and got dead last in a class I should have won. I had sciatica, partially torn tricep, and family issues during my peak. It'll get better.
I’m so sorry to hear this. Your strongman stuff with Alan is what got me to your channel and your content has helped me tremendously. I’m sure you’ll come back better than ever.
I Hope you have a speedy recovery & take care of your inner warrior competitive self. Stuff like this happens, part of the journey to glory.
So glad to hear this is not good bye!! You have a huge support network behind you. Glad to see you are take care of your mental health.
Can’t wait for your next video!
Thank you, broski! I hope you recover fast. I can't wait to see you in a while.
Bro, I feel your anguish and frustration as well as your passion and determination all at the same time. Take some time, focus on you. Recharge is a major driving component to power of mind and personal development. I'm a board certified health and wellness coach and specialize in resiliency and mindfulness. Know a ton of holistic modalities and concepts. I'm literally going in for my pec reattachment in the morning. If you ever want, I'd be thrilled to repay you for the knowledge you've shared that has helped me. Do not hesitate to reach out/email. Could talk recovery or resiliency. Remember, this to shall pass. Time is our ally. Take stock of the moment, enjoy your successes when they come and do not get stuck when challenges arise. Remember, this to shall pass.
Big love for you man. You have inspired me to do so much. Start my own small business, compete at a higher level, start my own CZcams, it’s endless. You heart, passion and drive is truly contagious.
Stay strong my friend! I can’t wait to see the comeback you make 🔥🔥🔥
Really sorry to hear Joey.
All the best to you physically and mentally on the road back.
Wishing you a speedy recovery!!
One of my favourite channels.
Love your videos and will miss them but your own well being is so much more important, wishing you a speedy recovery!
You are a great leader. I enjoyed your competition last weekend. You are a beast and a true leader. Thanks for showing us how to lead ourselves first.
Hey Bro. Everything happens for a reason. No doubt someone like you will come out a better, stronger version of themselves at the end. Only thing you can do is your best and stay positive.
Man very sorry to hear and hate to see it for anyone, get that rest and make the decisions you need to for your health and body and most importantly your mental. Looking forward to seeing you in the future brother, utilize the break to the fullest!
Take as much time as needed brother. Injuries suck but u will come back stronger. Good luck with your rehab and look forward to seeing u back soon being a beast.
You’re a fucking beast brother train around that shit and keep your head up and know that you are motivating a whole new crop of lifters every day with your content and we need you man.
Hey my man I am wishing all the best healing, mentally and physically. I know exactly we're your at I just tore my bicep tendon recently and just had the surgery. Best of luck 👍
Hey broski! Had some thoughts about you and wanted to check in. I know it can be hard with an injury. Hurting my back last year and riding the wave of recovery up and down can be hard. Just wanted to say we love you and I hope your in good spirits and health. And in a couple months I'll be ready for some more content. Thanks for all that you do for us. Your the man!
Heal up buddy - this will be the start of a new chapter, and a week from now you will have a renewed spirit.
I have always appreciated your candor, honesty, straightforward manner...but most impressive was your joy that you bring. I didn't hear the joy this time...I do look forward to hearing it again. Take your time and heal, we will be patient, understanding, and looking forward to your return. Take care.
Sorry to hear about your injury. Look forward to your triumphant return Sir! Take care of yourself first ✌️
I started doing strongman in September of last year. No trainer. No equipment. Bought what I use myself. I literally had to teach myself how to do events from CZcams. Your videos have helped tremendously and have entertained immensely. I am such a huge fan, can’t wait to see what you do next. At the same time, pretty sure we all totally understand and respect the route of making this about you. Get well and come back better. Shoveling good thoughts your direction.
I hope you have a speedy recovery! Do what is best for you but know that I have also learned a lot from your content.
Prayers for you brother! Thank you for your content and help! Take care of self man! Your hopefulness and mentality toward growth and overcoming adversity is awesome! This kind of video is equally important and appreciated. 😃👍🏻
