and yeh..I know..I need help...but not that kinda help right now...

here's the situation...
As seen in one of my previous threads, I've had this, tendonitis elbow, forearm pain the last 3 weeks. I've pretty much stopped training anything that would aggrevate it (log, presses, stones, farmers, tire). But I even have a pain that goes up into the bicep area as well...it's weird. I've got the New Jersey contest next week..and at one point considered not attending due to the lack of training..AND the fear of tearing a bicep or something. Because I have this "every once in a while" pain in my arms/bicep..I'm wondering if I may have damaged something the last contest and it's on the verge of being torn...(I went balls out on the tire in the contest, didn't feel a thing).

SO....in the immortal words of the Clash..."should I stay ..or should I go?" ... I'm pretty much 95% committed to going.

Are there any pre-existing symptoms of a bicep tear? What do you Guys/Gals think? Any opinions? and..a torn bicep, how long does it take to recover from that?

From what I have heard, most people who tear their bicep says that they had really really bad tendonitis months beforehand.

I haven't heard of anyone who's bicep just tore out of the blue; but I am sure it has happened as well.
