Did you do that, through Squatting, or was it something that caused it?

Good luck to you mate, all the best

i did them squatting m8 , iwas getting trouble with the right quad for a couple of year then on day a was squatting on the smith instead of fee babar did 3 sets working up to 5 x 20kg a side , which was always a easy wieght for me on the 4 set i went don to touch the safty stops which were about 1 foot off the ground and on the explosive part of the movement the right quad tore off and within second s the left one went , i think it is worse looking back but at the time i was just in pure shock and laughing and told me traing partner to call an abulance , he thought i was jocking and said just walk it off ,lol lucky for me the hospitle is 5 mins from my gym , so with doing it, gettting to the hospice and getting into theatre was on about 7 to 9 hours , the rest is history watch this space , peace

Real blood & guts determination there bud. Great to see you back in action.

I remember my first under 80kg show in Harrogate, before it was a qualifier (you may remember it was in a club with a tiny stage, John H did a guest spot that day too). I was on stage with you & Dave Thackary & remember thinking ''sh1t, how fcuking huge do these guys look!'' I was about 72kg & suffice to say you kicked my butt that day but it was inspiring none the less & spurred me on to try & get my legs that big. You certainly could never be labelled a quitter & that's for sure, many people would sack it after that injury. I'm sure you'll be around to spoil my fun for many years to come
