Why is Russell Brunson wearing a sling?
I wanted to start by addressing the elephant in the room, which is, for those who can see me, like, Russell, why do you have your arm in a sling right now? And if you listened to one of the last podcast episodes, I had just gotten back. I had done a wrestling tournament, and you guys knew I had hurt both my biceps. I was driving to go get an MRI, and that was, I think, the last podcast episode I recorded. Since then, my life has been crazy. After getting the MRI, we found out that both of my biceps had detached from the bone inside my arms, which is why it was really hard to curl anything or lift anything up. I needed to get surgery to get both of them back.
How did Russell Brunson end up with torn biceps?
Some people have been asking, what was the process? How did you detach the biceps? uh, some years ago there there's a, every single year there's a wrestling tournament. It's called the master's division. So it's for people who are older. Um, and I remember when I was wrestling in college, I remember going to, to one of the bigger national tournaments. And so they have different levels. Like there's like the senior level and then, you know, whatever. And then, um, there's a master's and a veterans division division. I remember going again while I was, you know, I was in college. I remember seeing these guys are like in their seventies or eighties with gray hair, bald out there wrestling. And I was like, Oh, so cool. And then, um, like I done my wrestling career, I kind of,
you know, that was kind of the end of it. I wasn't planning on wrestling again and kind of forgot about it. And fast forward to, you know, a decade and a half later is when I bought my new home. I built a wrestling room in it and, and, um, and I started inviting some of my old wrestling buddies over and we started wrestling. So that was kind of a fun thing. We do it once or twice a month. So my buddies come over, we'd wrestle again. It was just so much fun to get back to like my favorite thing in the world, which is wrestling. Right. And then, Um, what's interesting is one of my buddies who, who, uh, wrestles with us, his name is Lex. One day he came back. He's like, Oh, I wrestled the tournament two weeks ago. I'm like, what? He's like, yeah, there's a tournament that I competed.
And I was like, why didn't you tell me I would have gone. And so the next year we decided, okay, we're going to go to the tournaments. We put it on the calendar. Um, And, you know, life is busy. I'm running a company and a family and a bunch of other stuff. And so I remember leading up to it, we blocked out like seven days. We were planning on like to working out a whole bunch leading up to it, but then it just didn't happen. So then the week before the tournament, we blocked out. Okay, every morning we're going to wrestle for an hour, just get prepared for this tournament. And again, I haven't wrestled competitively in almost 20 years, right?
