Yeah this one guy I follow on Instagram actually did tear his bicep tendon off doing preacher curls. But then he said that they always felt off to him and I thought, they feel fine to me. I go slow and I'm very anchored and if I ever felt strain I would stop.

[@Keenomnivore]

@@cristian9365did bro just say behind the neck pull?

[@heyjarrod]

@@cristian9365 Like most movements, upright rows can be great-with a wide grip, and bringing the bar up to about chest level. Otherwise, you’re just getting crazy internal rotation at the shoulder. And why would anybody want to do that on purpose. Same with flies, you want to modify the movement to keep the stress mostly on the pecks, and not just passively on the joint. Behind the neck, yeah, that should’ve never been invented by bodybuilders that did not know anatomy. Dumbbells to the side of the head is a good lift, and won’t excessively externally rotate your shoulder joints into oblivion. Bench is OK, not the best thing for the shoulder joints. Anytime you have a straight bar, forcing the shoulders into a fixed and unnatural range of motion, is never really a good idea. Depends on your goals. And none of these will cause acute injuries if they’ve done properly. But you will definitely feel the affects as you get older. Where you will then have to deal with chronic pain through your 50s and 60s and 70s. 🤘🏻😝🇺🇸

Guys, biceps are a relatively small muscle. Train it as hard as the others, but don't overload it with weight and/or reps. Still, higher rep ranges tend to give you a better stimulus

[@Leon-pq5kl]

What are you going to overload it with, if not weight and reps?

[@muadack3972]

Yeahhhh, idk about this advice.

[@thelonewolf70x7]

Slowly progressive overload like moving the pin below the current weight one or two times if you're in a machine, for an example. ​@@Leon-pq5kl

[@Anonymous-gq7ho]

What's up with this shitty advice lately? Bicep is a muscle just like any other, just because it's smaller doesn't change anything about it. You can go heavy, or moderate, or light. It's literally the same as every muscle. You guys are really stupid as hell.

That’s true of all lifts. PRs are to be attempted in strictly controlled settings Most workouts should be with weights you can safely control focusing on the muscles firing over moving weight around.

@@bulbulitobayagbagan9633 If you need surgery for your muscles due to a serious tear/injury, it is not safe. Don't tell me Sean went all 'bro science' on us and started ego lifting which led to this. Please no!

[@patootie3529]

​@@gerardopadilla971 that's not necessarily true. the body can adapt, machines can't. wear and tear is there for when u actually beat it up rather than stimulate growth and durability (which is what working out does - ur joints, tendons, and muscles all get stronger and more durable) which is why old people who have lifted before have way better skeletal, joint and muscular health than other people their age. if the wear and true rule were to apply then they'd be completely messed up by then. plenty of lifters that get old without needing surgery one time

[@sonia3699]

The thing is people underestimate recovery when in reality it’s very important for muscle growth and injury prevention.

[@nyaanq8282]

The most important tip is to use an incline closer to vertical, doing this will improve the resistance profile of the exercise and take the stress off of your tendons in the bottom position (where most injuries are likely to occur because your biceps cannot produce a lot of torque at that position) Everything Sean mentioned applies as well

[@noturbasicorchid5964]

I literally said “ daddy no “ when I saw you in the hospital bed ❤ 😢 hope you have a speedy recovery

[@shaungregory1827]

Good idea to also do some targeted tendon work - strict weight training grows the muscles but doesn't do much for tendons, which drives up the injury risk. Lifters absolutely hate talk about isometric training, but it is excellent for working the tendons. Preacher curl as an example - perform your lift, then as you lower take it a third of the way down, hold for 10 seconds. Go another 3rd and hold for 10 seconds. Go to just before racking and hold for another 10 seconds. Do a few sets of this. The static holds make the muscle start to shorten and lengthen the tendon - thereby putting a stress on the tendon that then triggers healing/strengthening. I prefer to do the tendon specific stuff at home the dumbbells as it can take a lot of time in the gym away from the primary work.
