Thanks Basskiller for the info and the picture; however, the book describes the exercise using a barbell plus some sort of cheat method by pushing the chest out but not curving the back. So what are they talking about?
Even before the surgery I asked the surgeon about HGH or anabolics, but he says that juice has been proven to actually weaken tendons and ligaments. I understand their concern with prescribing juice, not that I agree with it tho, because of all the bad press it has been given in sports and the potential for them loosing their licenses over prescribing. Again, another argument I've been thru with the Doc, and I always seem to come out on the loosing end. But I will keep a copy of the article you posted and do appreciate it. However, I think the Doc may be right in this case because tendon appears to be dead muscle, so if you build the muscle so that it is bigger and stronger aren't you then putting more stress on the connectors (eg. tendons/ligaments), thus potentially weakening them? I've wondered if use wasn't actually a partial cause of my tear. Even tho I have had cronic tendonitius in my elbows for several years now. If I learned anything, it is that when you start to get tendonitius you should "stop." allow it to get better (icing etc.), then come back slowly after all pain has subsided. Wish I had listen to the warning signs.
