Bicep Tear Compilation

And thats why I do double-overhand during deadlifts... Ouch..

[IroNat]

Ouch.

Did these injuries happen decades (60s-70s) ago with the same frequency?

I don't recall it but perhaps we now do with social media.

Most of these tears happen using heavy weight but not all.

That and milder weights.

I think it has a LOT to do with the massive amount of drugs taken year 'round by many lifters that started taking them if not right away then not very long after first starting weight training.

The comment that they have no real foundation is especially true with regard to tendon strength which appears to take more time to establish and is perhaps better done as a genuine natural.

Im sure I could still tear it pulling 500, which I do regularly...
But I dont use that mixed grip... Looks like one guy tore it while only using a 45 a 35 and a 25 per side... Dehydration doesnt help in some cases.

If your arm is full straight then the bicep muscle isnt even engaged
all the tension is on the tendon

if this is true why do people stretch muscles?

Constant overuse — sports that require repetitive movement on the bicep in the shoulder or elbow can cause a bicep tear or strain. Acute injury — moving or twisting your elbow in an unfamiliar way can cause a bicep tear or strain, for example, falling on an outstretched arm.

so again i pose my question why would stretching not cause a tear?

an extended arm the bicep is at full extension, it has nowhere else to go add weight and it will snap
Biceps never seem to tear at the upper insertion point, why do you think that is?

I tore my bicep completely off and it rolled up to my shoulder. The surgery and the rehab wasn't fun. Took around five to six months to get full strength back. The doc told me if you get it fixed immediately as in a five day window the tendon hasn't "rotted" and the anchor point is fresh.  He sewed it back on with metal anchors and I believe the tendon reattached in time.

 I still dead with an alternate grip but I never go heavy anymore. This happened about 20 years ago. When I told the doc six months after I tested it with 405lbs dead he was pissed. He told me I was going to ruin the repair. It has held up. 315lbs for six reps after training lats is about my max for the last couple of years. I think it's time to go to a double over hand with a hook grip or straps with a lighter weight. For some reason it feels awkward deadlifting with a double over grip. With my health issues I'm going to lighten what I do and use techniques to make a light weight heavy.

I hate watching these kinds of videos.

Makes me afraid to "push it" (nh) in the gym.

Maybe that's a good thing.

I had a distal bicep tendon tear in an industrial accident. Rolled up to my shoulder like a window blind. Other than the scar from surgery to repair it, you'd never be able to tell. 100% recovery.

Is it true that if your ex-wife tries to get her child back from your kidnap attempt and pulls the car door open while you resist this can tear your bicep?

If true, this video needs to be added to the compilation.

Overhand grip deadlifts for me, wearing straps, I don't wanna injure my biceps

[SF1900]

That's why I do preacher curls at the end of workout and go light.
