I really appreciate your content and have subscribed. I've been making pretty massive gains in and out of the gym for the last 14 months post divorce (43m). I've been lucky to have stumbled upon and eliminated some weak spots as I go heavier and more challenging. It started with golfer's elbow although Im not a golfer. That's gone 100% after working with lighter weight and going more full weighted stretches some days to strengthen that part of my elbow. I also worked some weaknesses in my shoulders to keep that elbow pain gone for good. Then it was knee pain that I had for years, which were dealt with amazingly fast by regular stretching and strengthening of the hip flexors. This lower bicep pain I thought might be the one that benches me for a while but I've tried all of these exercises in this video and its pain free. That tells me I have more strengthening to go through to work my tendon back to normal. THANKS!!!!

Similar story here. So glad you're on the mend. You might want to check out ISOMETRIC workouts. That's what I'm doing for the next couple months to get my tendons strong before going back to strength training. I've been in physical therapy for over a year with a new injury about every two to three months. No one ever told me how important ISOMETRIC workouts are. We need to do BOTH. Especially as we get older. Best wishes.

Great video: thanks! 59 year old woman here. I’ve been strength training for 10 years but recently moved to heavier dumbbells and now have distal biceps tendinopathy (thankfully not rupture..) in my dominant arm. I’ll be doing these exercise religiously over the coming weeks 🤞

Same here! ISOMETRIC workouts have to be part of our weekly workouts. No one told me that until I almost ruptured my bicep.

I have been looking for something like this for SO long! A couple of questions if I may? 1) If I am doing the isometrics pushing up against say a door handle, should I focus on pushing through the door handle/pushing up. Or should I think about trying to “curl” the handle (although I won’t be able to)? I notice I feel it more in my tendon than my muscle. 2) I have read you should try to avoid a 4/5 pain, especially if it is aggravated the next day, what do I do if my baseline score is already 4 or if I find isometrics become aggravating? Is this a case of try it for a week or so and see? Thank you so much for your time and for this amazing resource!

Hard to say without a thorough evaluation but not uncommon to have some discomfort following, symptoms should not linger more than 24 hours and shouldn't be over a 3/10. If that is the case, start with the exercises that don't elicit any discomfort to begin!

Tendons and muscles are different kinds of tissues with different recovery time and adaptation because of different blood supply (tendons are bradytrophic). Tendons approximately take 3 times longer than muscle tissue to recover and adapt. So your muscle will be ready again 3 days after the workout but your tendon needs 9 days. Your tendons tissue can’t keep up with load. So you pick a training method and load that "exercises“ your tendon fibers instead of muscle fibers. Reduce the weight (your muscle are able to handle the load easily but your tendons can’t) and perform slow eccentric repetitions

Can you tell please what about the stretching? Some physiotherapists are recommending to build straight arm strenght with straight arm flys and to stretch the tendon, but a I have heared you should not stretch the tendon which has already build tendinopathy.
@ThePrehabGuys11 ай бұрын
Depends on your symptoms and how stretching is tolerated! For some, stretching an already irritated tendon is not beneficial and can cause further exacerbation of discomfort while for other it can feel good and is well tolerated. It's about finding what works best for you and your needs depending on where you are at in the rehab process.
