Training with a torn distal biceps tendon

[Adam Gelzinis]

Joe, I am pushing into week two after tearing my biceps on my right arm. I have not been able to lift anything with my right arm that had any type of weight… need any guidance if possible.

Two questions:

1) When to start training with my arm again? Now? One month? Three months?

2) Recommended exercises to help mitigate pain while building muscle strength. I’ve implemented very light bands recently.

Any and all tips (even that small one of yours) or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Best,
Adam

This is exactly where I started. I really appreciate the additional information too. I feel I was thinking too much about the time frame side of recovery and an “ideal” starting point.

Progression through movement while implementing incremental weight and volume. Thank you, Joe 🙏🏼

Btw- I’ll slay pink weights all day to get back to where I was. No issues with 1 pounders 🧚🏼 Anbolicbeard gains, nuff said…
