Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

Dude NOOOOOOO, this is seriously my first real injury but i dont think i did much damage, thankfully i have no pain but im never doing preachers again. Funny thing is on that set in question my girlfriend says babe dont go too heavy and i said fuk that i gotta go heavy to build muscle. My bicep never moved up and the muscle and tendons feel exactly how they felt before, no weird bumps or anything. I did light weight last week just a ton of reps and it felt ok. Ill stay away from heavy weight for awhile, but does that mean that i cant make bicep gains now?

Thanks for the input and sorry to hijack.

the bad part about partial tears to the tendon is you will see zero bruising zero denting or deformation at all. you cant tell mine is jacked up and it was torn 95% when i did it and the only way we knew is when i heard it pop i went to the doc the next day and had an mri done. it felt fine, no pain nothing at all. that's the scary part about tendons is their are no real nerves in the area so unless they blow out completely you really dont know.

quick fix i would say is get a sleeve or a band. another good tip is to stop lifting heavy for biceps because their is no need and it only further stresses the tendon that we already beat the piss out of with back haha. you can still grow them bad boys with moderately heavy weight as long as you are getting a good pump. if you arent going to see the doc, i damn sure would leave it alone for a few weeks just to be safe. he also told me absolutely never ever do twisting movements while curling with mine after it was injured. that is a quick way to fully detach a weakened tendon apparently

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

oh boy that's the distal tendon and here is the bad part about that area. the distal tendon is the point where all the strength in the bicep comes from and yes i have a partially torn one myself. you have a couple of options to go with this injury. option 1- is to go to the surgeon and have it fixed up option 2 (the one that i chose because i cant have any time off) is you use a band sleeve and cream at all times when using the arm. you also have to keep and make sure the body never cools down. if you look back through my log i went a year or better with no direct bicep work at all other than some hammers. this is a tendon that you absolutely dont want messed up.
now check to see if you have any indents or the bicep moved up any. if it did it could be a full tear and without a mri you really have no way of knowing. something i learned after i injured it is you never do any heavy weight movements in compromissing situations. full range preacher curls with bb or db also reverse grip bb rows are horrible for tearing this tendon. all these movements are completely gone out of my training. i also now do semi supinated as opposed to fully sup work for back. it makes a huge difference and still trains the muscles you are trying to hit. now would be a good time to stop training bis at all and make sure it is fully healed. i can train without a sleeve or compression band now with no issues at all since it has healed and strengthened back up.

take a look at elitefts for the super heavy duty elbow sleeve and the sling shot compression band and compression band 2.0. thats what i used along with the artic balm cream and keeping a sweat shirt on at all times. mine has held up pretty good for now

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

today:

abs/delts/chest(secondary)
10 min treadmill warmup (its getting cooler outside so i am adding this in on occasion even before ab warmups)
incline situps x10/6 (20 sec rest)
leg raises x10/6 (20 sec rest)
reverse peck deck flyes 65x30 80x30/2 (30 sec rest)
db lats 30x10/4
spider walks x3/3
machine press 75x10 90x10 105x10 120x10 135x10 150x10 165x10 180x10 (20 sec rest)
pec minor dips x12 x12 x11 (been a minute since i have done these and it shows)
hex press ss 45x12/4 (30 sec rest or less)
banded over and backs ss x10/4
banded tri press downs x12/4 (these were much harder than i thought they were going to be)
one arm overhead db extensions 30x10/4 50x20 sec stretch position only

done for the day. nothing bad to note other than my shoulders being really tender but that goes with the territory for me. i accept it is never getting better so i deal with it but still note it anyway. super fast pace again for this secondary workout. i lowered the weight a bit pushed the pace and did nice long slow pauses and contractions. i did a different machine press today that has a funky arc on it but it still works pretty well and puts a bit more tension on the outer pec so it is different. the band pressdowns were put in because all the cable machines were occupied and i wasnt waiting and cooling down. it turned out to be much rougher than i was thinking it would be. great workout today all in all

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

Wow nice dedication, i wouldnt expect anything less. I was doing heavy precher bb curls three weeks ago. While starting the curl i felt something pop where my arm bends. Its not sore but when i flex it still hurts. wth did i do?

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

I had no idea this was your log, ive been missing out on some good reading.

Thats some serious volume there, are you on maintenance calories or cutting down?

yeah man, this puppy runs back for a couple of years now i believe.

i am on a 10% surplus of cals above maint at the moment. so i am in super lean gaining mode so the gains are very very slow but bf is staying way way down

done for the day. great freaking workout. goal for today was perfect from across the board and i stopped increasing weight once i got close to not being able to hold a 2sec contraction on each rep. so yeah the weight today was down a bit but that was the goal for the workout. again i am going to note for everyone because i already know, i got much better contractions and pump from thursday's graston work. i got pumps in areas where i normally dont so it was a huge improvement today. no mid back pain at all barely any low back pain and the lower back pump was no where near as bad as it usually is. i shouldnt have waited so long to got back in and i have better contact with my lady now and her sched, so i will damn sure be on top of this from now on. i may even take a gamble and get it done 1-2 wks out from my big show this year, i will talk that over with my two advisors and her first but that's how big of a difference it made in how my body looks. i would go 1-2 wks because of bruising and water for sure though and not a few days.
