Road to recovery: Tim Robards took to social media on Saturday to reflect on his bicep surgery and gushes over girlfriend Anna Heinrich who helped nurse him explaining it has made him love with her even more
The hunky personal trainer had taken the selfie post-work out and proudly started the post by writing: 'Tonight I graduated to the pink 3kg dumbbells.'
He went on: 'Almost 3 weeks out of sling and 9 wks post surgery. Initially I had a moment of getting down about my injury but then I opened myself to enjoy the journey that it would bring.'
Throughout the time he was in a sling he struggled with everyday tasks like tying his shoes, had to take public transport and slow down in general.

Passionate about his fitness he had to find a different way to train and instead walked more and explained he even tried a 'one handed spin class'.
But it was his relationship with Anna that was strengthened the most throughout his time with his right arm tucked up in a sling.
Tim and Anna have been together since they met on the original season of The Bachelor in 2013, and she took on the role of nurse as he recovered from surgery.

'The lengths I have to go to to get 12 weeks off work!'
Tim ripped his right biceps muscle off the bone and after surgery was put in a sling while he recovered.
