Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for making this video

Outstanding

ANY ADVICE FOR SOMEONE WITH A FULL BICEP TEAR WHO'S HAD THE INJURY A FEW YEARS HOW. BTW: I'm not yelling, I just capped everything to make my msg pop as I really am looking for answers. Thx

Very sensible approach. I’m getting good at a few specific exercises and I need to start changing up or alternating workouts- still do the heavyweight dips, but not every bench day. 😂

Can you substitute front squat for back squat? I struggle to do back squat

This was a great video! Very clear and specific. Super informative!

Thanks for your help

Distal bicep tear (complete) left arm back in Mar (2024); repair surgery a little over two weeks later. Cast, then brace (each for a few weeks). I have a few more months until near complete recovery; however, I have full range of motion now and some strength back. What help significantly, was working on my range of motion soon after the surgery. I did not take any pain medicine (post-surgery)…it subsided after about a week. I participate in physical therapy once a week. Both the [excellent] orthopedic surgeon and [excellent] physical therapist are kind of amazed at my progress. To everyone experiencing this, please keep a positive mental attitude…you can overcome it and get back to your normal life. The same mental strength helped me back in 1986 when I almost lost my leg…I was able to complete the remaining 12 years of a 20 year career in the U.S. Army. Good luck to all, God bless, and a huge thank you to the doctors and staff at the James Haley VA Hospital in Tampa, Florida!

Thank you for the intel🏋🏻🏋‍♂️🦊

This need time stamps!

I’ve long been interested in conjugate but apprehensive to apply due to a lack of knowledge. This video has given me the confidence to jump in now!

Something I was using recently was an Upper - Lower - Full split. I thought it worked very well. Especially for an older guy at 54. Same principal I suppose, just more condensed and a little less volume per body part during the week. But Id say it averages out over a 2 week span... Just started reading Barbell Prescription, which I'll be using to navigate my program very soon. Thank you Andy.

I had to fight with the va to get the surgery. 6 weeks I was very descriptive and explained I needed an MRI and no one believed me. They tried to get me to go to physical therapy first and I refused but the nurse wrote in my chart that I agreed with that plan. I had to use private insurance.

Thank you

Would using your 852 progression on the first lift be appropriate here? And would you still stand by this upper lower routine?

Thank you that was very useful I just got the same injury 3 days ago and going tomorrow to set up the surgery hopefully on Saturday

I recently underwent bicep tendon surgery at the VA, and it was quite a different approach! Instead of a cast, they just put it in a sling for a couple of days. They encouraged me to move my arm freely, with some restrictions for the first month. After three months, I should be able to lift anything I want. The procedure involved two incisions, one in the forearm and another to reach the end of the bicep tendon. They needed the second incision because they couldn't reach the end of my biceps from the initial one, according to the doctor. It's not always necessary, but in my case, it was.

Would love to see some new videos...ive watched all the old ones multiple times

Thanks man I just had my pectoal major tendon repaired this helped!

Thanks for the info I just had the surgery and I was curious on what to expect in the upcoming weeks

I tore my left and I'm 2 weeks post op. I'm seeing a lot of comments of people saying they're on their 2nd tear on the other arm. Do I have that to look forward to if I start working out again? Is there an underlying issue that I can address to avoid that?

😬 I think he’s talking directly to me with overtraining

Thanks bro 28/3/24 ..

This is a great and informative video

How do I contact you for programming. Thanks

TB500 and BPC 157 👌🏼 trust me guys , it’s a miracle

Hi Andy. I appreciate your video. I learned quite a bit. I'm at 12 weeks post OP. I am 66 years young and joining a Gym this coming week. I appreciate your advice on exercises for my rehab. My main goal is getting back on the Golf Course and being as active as I was pre injury. If you have any further advice it will be appreciated. Have a great day and good luck in your endeavors.

This channel needs more views

Appreciate the video man, I’m going into surgery in a couple of days.

I'm nearing the end of my NLP and these videos are helpful. Thanks

Do you have your physical therapy protocol documented? I have ran into insurance issues out of the splint and have been having trouble figuring out what to do at home

Killswitch Engage adds +10 strength

Thank you.

Thank you for this. Had to wait 17 days for my surgery but am now one week post op. Needed to hear all of this right now more than you know. Being out of the gym is the hardest part for me mentally. Itching to start pt.

This was the so so so helpful thank you.

Hands down best video on how to set up a conjugate program

So an average of ten weeks

Hey Andy I’m a bjj athlete and I’ve currently got around 12KG of fat I need to get off as I’m fat to fat for my weight class (currently 95kg and 5 rep sets are: Squat - 100kg Bench - 77.5kg Deadlift - 140kg Press - 55kg Been doing the standard SS NLP but now things are getting super hard so wanted to move onto something like this. Instead of rotating the main lifts how you said are there any set / rep schemes you could follow keeping the main lifts (bench / squat / press / deadlift). I also don’t really want to do 5/3/1 as I’m not a fan.

Do you think once a week for assistance is enough, for example 3 sets 8-12 reps on LTE's once a week, or should we try to fit each assistance exercise twice a week in our programs?

You're the man, just your content on CZcams alone has made my work outs so much better, thanks for putting this all out here for free! Underrated channel

Do you think chin ups pose a risk for bicep tears? I train chin ups hard frequently and now Im paranoid lol

Thank you!

Hi,I'm 3 weeks past the surgery, you give me the information and motivation i needed, still waiting to see my surgeon,I was wondering if the exercises had started or should i wait for my appointment,great video, thanks.

Great video, thanks

This video is odd. My doc is pretty big into this technique used for this injury and I was told to start PT 6 days after surgery. What kind of doctor says pt isn’t necessary? More so why was this guy told no movement at all for 5 weeks. You need to slowly get that tendon stretching along with pt for scarring. I’m so fortunate to have a good doctor and not what this guy had

That first example of TOO MUCH warmup was literally me in my 20's. Even the weight was exactly what I was using. I wish I knew this 30 years ago!

Did you still have pain when letting arm hang at 3 weeks ? Mine is pretty painful

No offense to this guy but Matt Wenning never says its only for very strong guys. Ill take his word over this guys. Sorry bud

I’m curious as to how this technique compares to Mark Rippetoes video about the row.

When wete you able to supinate pronate
