- Giving an update on the status of my recovery from bicep tendon repair surgery.
The tendon was ruptured on May 7 2018 doing a set of Speed Deadlifts with 405 lbs using a mixed grip.
Here is the link to the original video I did about how I got the injury:

Good luck with the rehab andy , hope you will get back soon
Great video. Thanks. I'm getting ready to have this done in the next few weeks. I've had 3 shoulder surgeries but not the biceps. Has been bad for years. Just recently flared up from all the labor I did on my home. Haven't slept well for months. Finally went in and had it looked at. Nice to hear from someone who lifts that's had it done. Thanks.
Thanks for taking your time to share your story. I had this surgery 2 days ago. . already want to get back to weight training and forget about this.
Don’t be depressed, Andy. Your bicep might break but your mind and your will, cannot. You’re cut from a different fabric brother, you just have to remind yourself that. When a negative thought enters that mind of yours I want you to turn around and look around your gym. Look around your home. At your kids. The accomplishments you’ve made. Life happens dude, is this the first time you fell off the horse? Certainly won’t be the last. But you already know you’re gonna get right back on that saddle no matter how big the horse. You don’t need “get wells”. You’re already well. See you on the saddle.
Thanks so much for the added info! Just got my endo button put in today!
Mate-I've just seen your other video but this one is more apt for me.
Just yesterday I was looking to see if there were any updates on the surgery. Glad to here that the repair went well! A few years ago I dislocated my shoulder and had the same feelings about not being able to train. When I was able to start back it was with just the bar and even that was painful. It took about 8 months to recover and get back to where I was. The doctors will be overly cautious and want to wait way to long. It will take some common sense and listening to your body during recovery, if you do you will know how hard to push. Make sure you get full range of motion back before using heavy weights that will want to stretch it out.
I stopped doing deadlifts months ago due to a case of golfer's elbow so bad there was no way I could deadlift with it. It hurt so bad in the beginning I couldn't hang a 5 lb bag of frozen chicken on that arm to carry groceries in. I'll never forget that.
Thanks for the info I just had the surgery and I was curious on what to expect in the upcoming weeks
Hey Andy, thank you for this information, i go for surgery on September 29th 2022, in a couple of days.. i just went through the same exact thing like you. I've been training 14 yrs now. I'm so depress buddy. You gave me hope for when i go through my recovery.. I appreciate your time in making this video.. I'm more then sure the world appreciate you too. Your awesome, stay strong 🙌🏼💪🏼🏋🏼♀️
I am appreciating all the extra content you've been putting out. The past few blog posts have been great, particularly the last three.
Thanks. This video made me feel a lot better. I'm going in Tuesday.
Thanks a lot these videos help me a lot to understand what to expect. tomorrow i am taking the same surgery. I also only didnt lift during bootcamp and also have big arms. Anyway, thanks a lot, your video logs were best so far i watched. Best,
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!
Hi Andy, why can you only do "light movements" on the leg press and curl? Does training heavy interfere with recovery of the tendon? I followed Brian Alsruhe's recovery on his rotator-cuff tear. He trained with his sling on, doing heavy neck strapped deadlifts and SSB squats. The day he was cleared to lift he deadlifted 700-something lbs off the floor. The doctor argued he could not lift more than 2lbs until he was cleared, after that he could do whatever which just sounds silly. I know it's a different injury but I think it's similar in recovery.
I had the surgery 6 weeks ago. I've been in a cast since, get it removed tomorrow.
I’ll be two weeks post surgery tomorrow. Had the button procedure as well. Great info. Thank you.
Almost 1 month post op, but 3 months post injury (210 kg rack pull...would have been PB). Had same type of surgery, but got a haematoma and infection once the staples came out. About 30 degrees shy of fully extending my arm right now. It's very tight. My left arm has also atrophied considerably. Really missing the gym. Considering doing some light resistance band work - working around the bicep. Maybe some flys and bent over rows, if I get the go ahead. You're still a beast Andy - thanks for vid.
Thanks ,I appreciate the time.
thank you for your time, your video is really helpful. i m 48yrs and i had this surgery 1 week ago. my questions for you are:
