Torn biceps advice??

I had a distal bicep tear today while deadlifting. I wasn't even up to my working sets yet when it happened. Really really weird feeling. I was using mixed grip, for what it's worth. Having surgery Friday morning. Anyone with actual experience going through this that can give me recovery advice?

Sorry, bro. Does it hurt a lot?

Damn. Sorry bro. That's a big reason I switched to hook grip.
You probably weren't pulling the slack out.

Sugery. Get a piece of your arse in your arms.
Good luck though. I hope you have a speedy recovery.

partially tore mine years ago and then about 2 months later completely tore it. I heard it pop both times. rehab wasn't tough, just started out attempting to straighten out arm until its normally straight. started out curling air then 2 lbs then next lightest weight I could find then 5lbs. eventually curling 10lbs. it seemed about 2 months I was back to normal curling weight - but I didn't rush it.

Tore my distal playing rugby a couple years ago. Sucks. You're doing the most important thing, which is getting it repaired quickly. Supposedly if you wait past 2 weeks, the recovery gets tricky.
Do you know which method your surgeon uses? I had the two incision technique and repaired using Arthrex BicepsButton. Got it done by Suri in New Orleans. I didn't have any post surgery side effects and made a full recovery with no reminder of the injury besides the 2 small scars.
Make sure you follow the prescribed physical therapy. Protecting the repair is most important. The surgery is painful (the 2 days after) and you don't want to have to do it again. Follow the doctor and PTs guide for the elbow brace. Always wear it, be careful when you're not.
It will be slow and humiliating at first. Pink dumbbells, then green, then blue, and you'll want to push yourself, but just follow the process. I think I was fully cleared 10 weeks or so after surgery.

Update for anybody that gives a shite 
Just had my first post-op visit and he said nothing heavier than a coffee cup until he sees me 4 weeks from now. Cutting diet and cardio starts tomorrow!
