If you’re not a young athlete or have a physically demanding job they may not recommend surgery because 80% of your strength will be maintained by the brachioradialis. So without surgery you will have a permanent defect in the appearance of the bicep (Popeye bicep) and slightly less strength.

If it's a tear, it's a distal one. Right by my elbow/forearm. Doctor said that if it's a tear he strongly recommends surgery due to my age since I'm not "THAT" old. 

Just embarrassing that I hurt it literally going against nothing but air. Didn't hit or touch a thing. Getting old sucks.
