Ouch. I hope a quick and speedy recovery for him.

*How do you reattach a torn elbow? Does anyone know?

This is just about the worst thing that can happen when doing power lifting.


DO NOT CLICK if you are not an experienced internet veteran...

I saw those pictures earlier today, it must have hurt like hell. I cannot even imagine what it feels like to have your elbow over-extended like that.

I hope he has a full recovery.
