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!!!!

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 🤞

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!

Worth a go I guess. Had tendon problems in there for years and currently thinking the Statins I'm taking might not be helping as my flare up has been going on too long this time.

Great video..one question on the last biscep curls excercise .. while going down do we extend fully or there should slight bend at the elbow

@ThePrehabGuys 10 ай бұрын

If you can tolerate fully straightening your elbow you can give it a go! Start with a range that feels comfortable for you!

My biceps are already super strong from gym work. That's what got me into bicep pain to begin with. How is more bicep work going to help?

@ThePrehabGuys 8 ай бұрын

It's not always about more biceps work sometimes it's about the right biceps work at the right time to address symptoms!

@vicvegaii8594 5 ай бұрын

Should there be a slight increase in pain the remainder of the day after doing the exercises? If there’s any slight increase in pain does that mean headed in wrong direction?

@ThePrehabGuys 5 ай бұрын

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!

Whenever I do bicep curls my biceps aren’t in pain when I’m on top of the movement it hurts and clicks when I extend my arm with weight.

Most of my pain is in the meaty part of my forearm but it travels up my bicep to my shoulder, would this be bicep tendonitis or golfer/tennis elbow?

Hi is it normal that I got a lot of pain right after I finish my rep on shoulder flexion supinated? Should I continue or better avoid that exercise? Cheers

@ThePrehabGuys 7 ай бұрын

If pain is above a 3/10 we recommend not doing the exercise right now, work on exercises that don't cause pain above that, and try the challengin exercise again in a week or two!

Hello, question about the isometric curls. What if we overdo them by putting in too much effort that it causes pain? Should we take a day off or can we try again the next day by reducing the load?

@ThePrehabGuys Ай бұрын

These should feel comfortable so start by selecting a load that you can tolerate without pain or discomfort!

I had terrible pain in both my biceps. Couldn’t lift my arm to fix my hair without using my other arm to hold it up. I started using castor oil on my biceps & arthritis cream. Took several weeks but pain is completely gone. Also took herbs that help with pain.

Hello, after training my biceps in the gym, my tendon feels like its jumping out and takes a bit of time to go back in the right place after doing certain arm movements when im back at home. What could be causing this?

Hey there, hard to say exactly without doing a thorough evaluation! If symptoms don't improve with some exercises, I would recommend chatting with a local PT in your area!

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.

@ThePrehabGuys 9 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.

@@Yujiro945 the pain is bit lower, but I think it has something to do with nerves that are going from the back to the arm, somewhere there has to be something that ist blocking the nerv and cousing pain, i assume it is an calcificate.
