Yea still alive... I have decided to actually listen to the doctor and take a full three weeks off. To tell you the truth it has been sort of nice as I had basically lived in the gym for the last four months.

My arm is coming along well... Next monday I plan to start back into some very light shadow boxing and some bag work... and will see if by the following week I feel as if I have recovered enough to start on the focus pads and more intense training.

Easy does it I guess... unless I tear it further I am not looking at surgery so that is a good thing. I actually ruptured the sheath that encases the muscle. The best way to describe this is to take a bannana and put it on the floor and then step on it... the skin is the sheath and when it ruptures the "meat" pushes out through the split... basically what happened with my triceps...

I will probably always have to be a little bit careful with this arm... meaning lots and lots of stretching before hand and I have learned my lesson about proper rest... haha... but other then that I'm ready to go again...
