Fucker keeps poping out of the groove. That's what I get for still thinking I'm 25. But in all fairness it was 405 for a triple on bench.

Man up buttercup. It's a flesh wound.

Damn good bench but id rather look like i can do it than actually do it.not saying you dont look it just saying fuck that heavy stuff.

Tight biceps go hand in hand with shoulder internal rotation deficit and forward head posture
Use a barbell to roll your bicep while laying on your back
Your thoracic spine is prob very stiff as well

It's definitely catching up with me.

I'll be 53. The only thing that isn't stiff is my cock.

Therapy is great. Was getting my neck stretched earlier today.

I agree with this. Rarely do I practice what I preach and as I (or anyone) get older I pay the price.

Coach
Did u tear your bicep?
I did many years ago
Right off the bone
-
damm good bench coach! BUT, at our age, (I'm 58), i think its better to throw around three plates for reps instead of all that pressure on the shoulders.
hitting three plates for 10 reps will get all the mutts in the gym watching.

Take some magnesium for your flappy cock. Lots of it.

Stop using barbells

No, never tore a bicep. The only real injury that I've had was a partially torn pec 13 years ago. But I was back training after week. I trained today using DB's and Swiss bar. A little discomfort but have full ROM.

Praying for the health of your joints and ligaments, Coach. You've made it this far...

Coach, what motivates you to still go for heavy poundages? Surely you're at the age now where volume:hypertrophy is not such a good return as when you were say in your 20s-early 40s...
If it's the buzz from heavy lifting, then I can totally understand - but even I had to really keep away from my own ego games before I was even 30, I could literally feel my joints and tendons hugging eachother goodbye everytime I went for a PB lol ;D
I just wonder, say when you are in your late 60's (I know you will still be training) you will really regret pushing big numbers now, for little returns

802 views of a thread called bicep tendon, really, REALLY, what is getbig coming to?...now look at this= this is a fuking injury....

I only go heavy in my main lifts and if I don't bench I do heavy DB. My auxiliaries are mostly bodybuilding type excercises much lighter in the 10-12-15 rep range with lots of supersetting. Admittedly, the heavy stuff is ego but I also have the belief of why look strong if you're not. I also believe that as I or anyone else gets older that compound power movements should be a mainstay to maintain thickness and strength. 53 isn't all that old but it takes a while for me to recover and I do have to be a little more careful. I'm somewhat back to bodybuilding-type training with more isolated movements and volume.

i did shoulder DB presses with a 90 degree bench. the DB went back too far and my biceps tendon popped. sucked. took 6 weeks of pain before i did an active release therapy - electricity and massage and movement - to fix it. now i do 80 degrees on the incline bench for shoulder DB presses.
This never would have happened on president trump's watch, that's for sure.
-
When in doubt: don't. That goes for everything in life after 40...... :-X
-
It's great to feel/know that you are strong for someone over 50 (I feel the same way), but it's no fun tearing a muscle or tendon. Be careful Coach. Leave the ego at the door.

Have U been using Vince machinery :P

You know better c'mon.
That macho attitude caused many men a lot of pain and no gain.

In most cases an injury can be worked around. If someone is too scared to train heavy and hard (injuries can happen with both) then maybe it isn't for them.

"Working around" an injury is just worthless bro-science. I " worked around" my torn supraspinatus for longer than I am willing to remember. Only when I stopped training shoulder and chest Completely, it healed and I gained the muscle back in no time...

Coach, go for it my friend. I'm 49 and going for 405 in the next couple of weeks. At around 10% BF I might add. 205lbs.

Pec cries :'(

I take it that even our resident training expert can get injured from lifting heavy weights?

Hasn't stopped me from training and I guarantee if it would have happened on a machine I would have been really fucked. Went to the 130's for 6 on DB's with no pain. Go ahead Vince, challenge me.

What the heck is a guy your age doing heavy bench presses for? That is the worry, not whether you use free weights or machines.

Honest answer and not trying to be a dick here. It's because I still can and feel fortunate that can do it at my age. When I train I don't feel that old. I just can't recover like I used to. It keeps me strong and keeps me thick and My diet is relatively tight.

We bodybuilders have always had this urge to show others we are also strong. Thus, we usually always lift heavy in the gym. Heavier perhaps than we should or need to lift. Yes, there are some who maintain super strength into old age but most succumb to injuries or lack of motivation. The default 10 reps seldom causes serious injuries, but you know this. 3 reps with over 400 in the bench is a stellar performance.
