Any update champ?

Basically last weekend I think partial teared a bicep muscle during rock climbing. Last week I pushed through the pain during my workouts but it has become to the point that it is pretty unbearable. Anytime I put any type of long tension on the muscle it starts to pulsate in pain. This week I decided to take a break so I have been off for 3 days now.

Honestly I don't know what to do from here. People say rest and let it heal but that will take weeks and I will basically have wasted half of my cycle.

I would get it looked at ASAP. The sooner the better with this particular injury.

Bro if it's partially torn and you don't let it heal you'll probably be out longer. You probably should listen to your body.
 
Every time you experience any type of pain in the muscle, you should stop working out asap and let it heal. The worst you could do is slow down the healing process or make the pain chronic
 
Quick update. I rested for a week. Went back to gym yesterday with a new routine. Went from 7 day brosplit to PPL. Reason being I think the brosplit was causing some reoccuring injuries since I had no rest days and it was extremely high volume.

I did push yesterday and suprsingly had no pain whatsoever on my bicep but for some reason during my bench I had pain on my elbow instead wtf?. Today is Pull, hopefully I get no pain too.

Glad it healed, but if that ever occurs again get it checked out quickly. Bicep tears or or injuries may require surgery to correct depending on how bad of a tear it is and I believe if you wait too long after tearing it before you get a surgery consult then they won't operate. Probably not relevant now, but good to know for future occurrences.

If you're getting constant aches and pains then I would scale back the number of training days you do in a week. At 7 days / week I'm not surprised shit started to hurt. If your goals are bodybuilding purposes strictly then reducing number of training days isn't really detrimental. Might even be beneficial.

I would suggest changing intensity on your PPL setup, maybe something like 5,8,12Repmax and undulate through those in a wave everyday. This will help drive progress and the lighter days will help take some strain off.

Something like
Week 1:
Monday: Push 8RM
Tuesday: Pull 8RM
Wednesday: Legs 8RM
Thursday: Push 5RM
Friday Pull: 5RM
Saturday: Legs 5RM
Sunday: REST

Week 2:
Monday: Push 12RM
Tuesday: Pull 12RM
Wednesday: Legs 12RM
Thursday: Push 8RM
Friday Pull: 8RM
Saturday: Legs 8RM
Sunday: REST

Week 3:
Monday: Push 5RM
Tuesday: Pull 5RM
Wednesday: Legs 5RM
Thursday: Push 12RM
Friday Pull: 12RM
Saturday: Legs 12RM
Sunday: REST

You get the idea. I ran PPL without changing intensity and volume and I felt like dog shit after a while. But with changing these variables in a controlled way I was able to make steady progress with an even higher frequency setup. Worth trying.

Thanks alot for your advice. I will actually start doing this. The PPL routine I am using is coolcicad's PPL. I will implement these rep ranges into it.

Also little update on the pull day. No pain in whatsoever, I even did heavy 5RM Barbell rows to really test it lol.
 
I'm thinking about doing something similar to this for my second cycle...looking solid dude !

Sorry I will not be updating this anymore, my bicep tendon injury healed but I have diagnosed that now I have tricep tendinitis. I can't even do simple push-up without so much pain in my elbows. The last couple weeks I have just been trying to maintain the mass I have by going extremely light and avoiding any "push" excercises.



Last progress pic I will be posting taken yesterday.

Hey man,
Good luck with that. Ive got the same issue in both elbows. Iced them, anti inflammatories, 4 week break. They felt fine. Pushed myself of my car hood grabbing something and felt it instantly. The slightest pressure bugs it.

The rest, ice and anti inflammatories help with the pain, but didn't deal with the tendon and muscle being super tight.

A guy you should check out is Smash Werx on youtube. Saved my ass and my elbows are not as bad. My wife is a massage therapist, so the deep tissue and active release have also done wonders. If you look in the media section of this site right beside Home and Forum, theres a image within the first two pages for elbow shit.

Good luck man.

Steroid History:
Test-E 500mg 12 weeks, 3 months ago

Current blast:
500mg Test-E + 50mg Anavar

I had great results from my first ever usage of steroids with just Test-E only. Why fix whats not broken? So I am sticking with Test-E only and throwing in Anavar since its summer lol.

Anavar will arrive this week, soon as I get them I will take it.

Pin #1 Thursday 7/7/2016 1.25ml & 0.5mg adex

Did quads on Thursday, and let me tell you, my PIP is pretty bad right now had to skip leg day.
I know this is old, but quick question.

Did you have to split var up? Or did you take all the pills in one go?

Thanks
 
Take it all at once and remember it stays in your system roughly 8 hours so 4 hrs before you work out should be fine.
I was reading the thread and he splits it 25mg in morning 11am and 25mg evening 11pm.

Why can't I take it 1hr before gym? Does it have to be 4hr?
