First time in a Gym in your 40's, 50's, 60's? Is it Worth Your Time?
why do you think you don’t need
Hello, well, it’s really a personal decision because you’ll regain up to 95% of your strength back with zero loss of mobility- so it comes down to aesthetics. Do you mind the bulge? If it bothers you then def get it fixed. Good luck !
I've really enjoyed your videos on this particular injury and even the fact thy you mentioned you regained 95 to 98 percent od strength is incredible. I recently tore my long head bicep and it has been about 6 weeks since. I am still dealing with post traumatic stress abiut the injury even though there is no pain apart from a bit of a shoulder impingement with the loss of the blh. I think there is also a rotator cuff or maybe labrum. I am a fitness enthusiast so leaening about your injury has given me confidence to continue rehabbing the shoulder and building muscle to support the arm and shoulder. It wasn't a choice as well for surgery as it is just too costly for me but after hearing that there are complications with infection I think it is a great choice to use non-surgical means to treat the blh tear. What are the use of optics/cosmetics when your arm performs well enough is what I'm thinking. I do understand that this is a big issue for performance pro athletes or body building competitors as asthetics are so important.
Great informative video.
Thank you !
Thank you Sir 🙏
Happy to have helped ya! I have a golfers elbow video with some additional tennis elbow exercises if you want to check it out on my channel. Thx!
My Proximal tear at the shoulder didn’t hurt that much at all either. It’s obvious that it’s a rupture by my long head bicep slides down towards the elbow, creating a ball, or Popeye bicep & my void is closer to the shoulder or upper arm & yours would be the opposite direction. Usually your kind of rupture happens with a fall or blunt force. You’ll have some difficulty supinating your hand (rotating palm up). Depending on the size of the “void” on your arm would be a good indicator of rupture. If you tried using a screw driver and screwing in a screw could be a good test of strength & how impaired your supination is. Let me know what you think of that guys arm. 👍
I have distal I think. Er doctor said it's a full tear. Edit: well with the bad news of having to get it fixed. What would my options be three to four years later?. I'm half way into the video. My apologies and disregard if you answer this.
Ouch!! How old are you? Are you very active? Are you thinking of having it repaired? Thanks for reaching out and let me know what you decide to do and if I could be of any help. 👍. John
I would love to have it repaired. I'm not very active these days. None the less I want full strength in it. It's been a few years and I'm not sure if surgery is even an option? What can you tell me about a full distal bicep tear? Is exercising it an option?
Obviously, I’m not a doctor and take his advice for sure, especially depending on how bad the tear is. Usually with complete tears, Nonsurgical treatments are usually only used for people who do minimal activities and require minimal arm strength. Not having surgery often results in significant loss of strength. Flexion of the elbow is somewhat affected, but supination (which is the motion of twisting the forearm, such as when you use a screwdriver) can be very affected. A distal biceps rupture that is not repaired reduces supination strength by about 50 percent. It’s been reported that Early repair (performed at 4 weeks or less after injury) has been recommended and is believed to prevent potential complications and poorer outcomes due to tendon retraction, scarring, and the need for more extensive dissection. However, these advantages of early repair have not been clearly borne out in the literature. So don’t feel pressured into a decision immediately. So, hope all this was helpful and good luck!

@@JOHNDEYOUNGFITNESSLA I understand you're not a doctor. I appreciate any and all advice you gave and could further give. My tare happened a few years ago. So I'm way past the few week mark. I still have most mobility with some strength loss. I seen a doctor today who is referring me to a specialist. I guess my question to you is it heard of for someone to rebuild their arm without surgery?
check out Bobby Maximus on UA-cam- I randomly noticed that he has a distal rupture (right arm) & not repaired, and he seems to be doing great!! Maybe you could message him.
Glad to hear someone who thinks like me. Exact same tear 11-12 years ago, never saw a dr. my shoulder does bother me more after the injury. Certain arm positions like picking up a heavy dog causes pain in the bicep, which disappears when I stop.
Hey, thanks for reaching out. I’m wondering if you still have a little scar tissue that could be worked through with a physical therapist. But yeah, mines great and no problems at all, except a little cosmetic, but I don’t care about that. Let me know what you think about getting some PT done. On that shoulder - could help ya out. Thx! John
@JOHNDEYOUNGFITNESSLA my current problem is on the other side (left shoulder) that was dislocated almost 2 yrs ago. Had it reset about 12 hrs later at the emergency room but never saw a dr. beyond that. It's been a painfully slow recovery and it cracks and pops. Still not like it should be, but I attribute slow recovery to being in my late 60s. What do you think?
Oh, got it. Jeez, that sounds like a possible labrum tear, supraspinatus ( rotator cuff tear) or a proximal tendon tear ( long head bicep tendon tear at the shoulder. You’re going to need a scan to see exactly what’s going on in there, then come up with a plan. Good luck
I hurt my arm yesterday, and watched this video in the morning. So I went to the hospital to get it checked. Turns out it was a ruptured distal bicep tendon. They got me in for surgery right away. So here I am 16 hours later at home and in cast. Thanks for the helpful video.
Happy to hear this video was helpful. Good luck in recovery and if you can give me an update of your progression, that would be great. I could pass that on to other viewers. Good luck.!! John
ruptured my tendon today doing cross-arm front squat, weight got a bit slippery on right side. smh.
Ouch! I’m thinking you probably had that tendon compromised already in the past. Was it giving you a little problems before the accident? Definitely see a doctor make sure you didn’t tear any rotator cuff or your labrum. Good luck & let me know the results of the doc visit 👍
John, I too am 58 and did this same tear two months ago. Getting stronger with PT and your videos really help. I will start the rebuild process with Brachialis and Triceps as you recommend but do you still add back in classic dumbbell curls?
Hey, happy to hear you’re getting back in the saddle. Yes, I still do traditional barbell or dumbbell bicep curls, palms up, that’ll get the short head bicep. Good luck !
Esses exercícios que o senhor ensina é para ajudar a esconder as atrofias da cabeça longa do bíceps?
Olá sou do Brasil, vai fazer duas semanas que rompi a cabeça longa do biceps, ele irá perder volume? Vai diminuir o seu tamanho? Faço musculação.
Yes, you will actually lose that long head bicep if the tendon tore completely off the bone. It will continue to atrophy and eventually be undetectable. You will still have very good strength, and range of motion. You can even start training again now but will experience some cramping that will also eventually go away. Work exercise for your short head biceps and your brachialus as well as your forearms.
Por enquanto só dá pra perceber quando faço as contrações, porém, com o braço em repouso não dá para perceber. Muito obrigado pela sua atenção e informações, Deus lhe abençoe !
I watched both videos. They are great with good physiologic background and suggestions for rehab. I tore mine about 2 weeks ago. My ortho gave the same advice you did- if i want to do the surgery for cosmetic reasons, otherwise I should be fine. Surprisingly my strength is good, my supination is strong, i have no pain in my shoulder; in fact, my shoulder felt great after it tore. I'm 53. I lift regularly and am active in mountain biking and a blue belt in BJJ, so am looking forward to getting back to normal. I went through the comments and didn't see anything that answers this question: my bicep muscle itself seems a little unstable - i can move it when i flex it; contrary to my right arm when i flex the muscle is hard and tight. does the stability of the muscle itself come back as it heals and you train?
Hey, sorry to hear about your injury. But yes, I know mine felt so much better after it tore. As far as the long head of the bicep, that will continue to atrophy and eventually disappear. There will be some cramping for a while. I remember that It did feel weird to move it around. So, basically moving forward, you will just have the short head of the bicep and the brachialus. You’ll get 99 % of the strength back & will have excellent mobility. Good luck & keep training hard!!
@JOHNDEYOUNGFITNESSLA Thank you for taking the time to respond.
I just recently had the distal bicep tendon rupture repair. Literally 3 days ago. So I'm in the recovery stage. FYI, very painful. Not wrist rotation movement. So, learn to wipe with the opposite hand. I hope after much PT I can use my arm normally again soon.
Good luck post-surgery & repair. Yes, being ambidextrous has its benefits 😊
Good info, but what is a wrist debate?
Hey, so sorry about your injury. Bummer. I’m happy my video gave you some peace and knowledge. I also have a follow up video called, “Popeye Bicep”? Learn how to fill the void.” It has some good stuff in there that should be helpful. If you have any other questions, please feel free to message me. Thx! John
John, Thank you so much for this video. I ruptured my proximal tendon in haste to lift and object that got away from me and it just popped... no noticeable pain, but there was an immediate weakening of my grip. I neglected to see an orthopedic surgeon in a timely fashion and by the time I did... it was too late to correct, even if I wanted to. Anyway, I have been relatively depressed over the injury until I watched this video. Your visceral experience with the exact same injury and your background in actual physical fitness really gave credence to your opinion and advice. It lifted my spirits to know that I could over come the injury by strengthening other muscle groups and that it was (for the most part) just cosmetic. Now I am back in the gym. Thank you so much.
I've just done mine so passed but happy you guys have been there
😂 eliminate stress? I can't be jobless🥲
True. Here’s some additional info: Prolonged exposure to cortisol, hypercortisolemia, can lead to muscle wasting, which is probably thought to occur because of the decreased rate of muscle protein synthesis and the induction of muscle protein catabolism where your body is basically trying to get more amino acids. We also see the increase in lipogenesis (The effects of cortisol on lipid metabolism are more complicated since lipogenesis is observed in patients with chronic, raised circulating glucocorticoid (i.e. cortisol) levels. That all means that in the long run, high levels of cortisol are doing exactly what we don’t want. They are anabolic tissues we don’t want to make bigger, our fat tissue And they are catabolic to tissues that we want to make bigger and not smaller, namely our muscles. We did not evolve to have cortisol levels stay this high for this long “So high levels of cortisol, over a long enough period of time, make your fat cells fatter and your muscle cells smaller.” Exercise as a net benefit to stress but know when to dial it back Overall, there are net benefits of exercise for stress But adjust your goals for exercise during high-stress periods, shifting the focus from performance to persistence and consistency and just think about preserving performance during that time of high stress This is especially important for people who are overwhelmed with the sense that they need improvement on every aspect. It’s such a cliche, but Robert Sapolsky was really onto something saying that stress is a killer It may seem like a bit of a soft science since we don’t have the same biomarkers Measuring total cortisol levels in the blood is useless because it’s really the free cortisol that matters And even cortisol by itself is not sufficiently alone to help you understand the negative impacts of stress With that said, just acknowledging that and acknowledging how that factors into our training and how hard we push ourselves and how that needs to be part of the training equation is important At the same time, using exercise can be one of the most important tools we have to mitigate and buffer the negative effects of that stress.

Hey, yeah I’d love to share what I know with you and being 59 years old myself the battle we have moving forward to stay healthy. I have a recent video on five supplements nutritionist agree on I take those five and that’s all I take. You should check that one out. Also a video on age related muscle loss. You should check that out. Make sure you’re getting enough protein, each meal and each day. A really good guy I follow who is super smart is Peter Attia - I learn a lot from him, especially on life span versus health span and issues of longevity. Check out his book called “Outlive”.
Hello John: Great videos, I just had my long head ( I think) last week.. m very dissapponted and feeling down. My arm feels heavy and doing MRI next week. Used to play squash and padel. Can I do this again without surgery? I am 55. Many thanks for your feedback
Sorry sir, but don’t sweat it. If in fact the MRI shows a complete tear of the proximal tendon - you could get it reattached or just leave it alone. You’ll get some cramping but within a month or so you’ll be back to training regularly & will regain about 95 percent of your strength back. The operation to reattach is for more cosmetic appearances. I posted a recent Pilates video called “ 25 minute Upper / lower body flow” & half way through the video I’m doing a bicep exercise and my torn bicep side can be seen. Check it out & you’ll be reassured. Good luck!!!
BTW I’m 59 😁

If you do find a used reformer, I would recommend buying a Balanced Body reformer. Quality built, easy to get replacement parts and great customer service.

I have to ask ? ? ? You didn’t want to consider Biceps Tenodesis Surger ?? Specifically a high in the groove Tenodesis
Yeah, it was such a clean rupture with no residual tendon attached & no impingements so I figured I got lucky & didn’t want to have any surgery even though they could make it look better without having to reattach the tendon.
Great tips 👍 By the way the "rambam" (Jewish healer) saying the exact things and more 😉

I'm 70 and just had the proximal bicep tear surgery. I'm on day 3, not a of pain. Didn't need the oxycodone they sent me home with. I actually didn't know that most people don't get it fixed so I guess I'm happy I did it and happy that it's going well so far.
Hey, happy to hear that all went well & you’re on the mend. It looks a lot better I bet. Happy it worked out for you & let me know your continued recovery progresses. Thanks for reaching out. John
This is great. Thank you. I've had 3 shoulder surgeries and the last one the surgeon did a tenodisis and released and re-attached the long head to the humorous. Unfortunatley, it failed 2 weeks after the surgery when I made a reflex movement with my arm. 100% my fault. I decided to try and have the remaining tendon re-re-attached and made it 3 weeks post before it failed during PT when the therapist did scraping on my biceps. Thats a whole other story. Not enough tendon left to try again. This gives me direction on how to move forward with the deformity and limitations. thanks
Wow!!! That’s a serious situation. So bummed that happened to you. I’m surprised it failed since I’ve had two clients where that surgery was successful But they are also not very active, I should say. And actually tore the tendon tripping over a child’s toy. You’ll be fine!!! I think we notice the void more than other people do. Keep moving forward sir !!! Thx for the info. 😁
How did you know it failed (2 weeks after the surgery)? Did it hurt? Were there some sounds?
My posture feels so much better, especially after those ‘Y’s’. Thank you for the great workout! 😊💪🏼 I’ve been really enjoying your videos!
That’s great!! Thanks for the comment. If you have any other questions please feel free to reach out
Awsome thanks just what I needed
Yay!! Happy to be of some help for you. If you have some shoulder issues or if you wanna get them stronger, I also have a video on my channel called “Stop Living with Shoulder Pain”. I use mostly resistance bands in that video. Thx again !! John
Thanks
Hope it’s going well for you !
I didn't get my distal tear fixed and just tore the other in the same way
Oh no!!! How did you tear them both?? Complete tears?
I know someone who took Ozempic and got buff as heck at the same time. They really used it as a supplemental tool as opposed to a singular lazy way to lose weight.
Exactly what it should be used for !!! Happy for them. Thx for the comment 😁
Everyone I’ve seen who have taken this drug, look terrible.
I agree. Very gaunt. Looks like they’re not doing anything for fitness & health but rather just thinking that losing fat is all they have to do.
Good question, but really for men and women. It’s really based on your own strength so there is a little trial and error in adjusting the springs. Have fun!!
Hey John...Hope all is well. I've been a body builder my whole life.... I'm 68 now and over the last 3 years have had 2 shoulder surgery's. 1 replacement and the other a rebuild of rotator cuffs, spurs ect. On the rebuild I tore my bicep tendon. They reattached but did not pull it up high enough....ditto on the replacement. I have the Popeye muscle on both arms. Looks like hell, big void between my upper bi and delt. I feel like I'll never wear a cut off shirt again. Will these exercises really fill this in? Do you have any before and after pics? I could use some motivation. Thanks much
Hey buddy, sorry to hear about all the injuries and the unfortunate not so successful reattachment of the proximal tendon. Ugh!! Did the Doc say that there could be some issues & that it might not look 100 percent. I feel that these exercises for “filling the void” will help but only a little bit. my problem is that I’m very lean so the void still stands out. I continue to also train my short head & that has grown a bit so that helps a little more as well. Wish I had better results for ya & don’t sweat it so much, it’s really ourselves who notice it the most. Be well sir 👍
Can I use a jump rope for my hiit cardio?
Sorry for the late reply, I missed seeing your question. I think jump rope might be too erratic to use for your cardio. I’d rather you use a machine that can show you heart rate & output ( watts/Rpm’s/ speed etc) so you know exactly how your doing & can take notes on your improvement. Try a different HIT that I’ve been using on a stationary bicycle, you can do it on any cardio equipment. They are called three by threes or four by fours. After your five minute warm-up, you will do a sprint interval that you can maintain for three minutes so it’s not your maximum output but it’s pretty high interval for three minutes and follow that up with a recovery which is your basically your warm-up speed for three minutes. Repeat that for about 5 to 6 intervals. Three minute interval, three minute recovery. It’s hard but challenging & will increase your VO 2 Max over time ! 👍
@@JOHNDEYOUNGFITNESSLA Thank you so much for your reply. I'll try it out 🤜🤛
@@AndresGarcia-yn2nq I just realized I have a video on it on my channel. It’s called “zone five cardio” check that out. I do a 4 x 4 on there, but you can do a three minute interval with a three minute recovery.
I look forward to trying this arm focused Pilates workout. For women, what springs do you recommend? Thank you for explaining so well.
Hello, thanks for reaching out ! Obviously depending on your fitness level & strength, you could try just a green spring and or a combo of the yellow & green. Also, I increased the resistance by shortening up the straps so you could let the straps out a little further for less resistance. Hope this helped !!
Fortunately I haven’t experienced this. 🤞I have torn my bicep tendon at the shoulder like you. The Popeye deformity is barely noticeable. Did not have surgery, and I’m lifting almost as well as before the tear.
Hey, same here, I didn’t have surgery. I have 2 other videos on my channel for Proximal tendon rupture ( the one you & I did) and I also have 99% of my strength back. The void creating the popeye bicep is fine, doesn’t really bother me. Check out the video “Filling the Void” after Proximal Tendon Rupture- Hopefully some of those exercises might help you go in a little further in your brachialus & short head bicep development. Thx for the comment 👍
Excellent video. Probably the best video I’ve seen on the importance of protein as we age. I’m almost 70 and am trying to maintain most of the muscle mass I acquired since my 40s.
Thank you & nice to hear. Yeah, I train hard on a regular basis & feel that protein is the wild card here. Just Eat It!! 😁. Keep it up sir !!
How do you we know if It’s a proximal tear.. mri or ultrasound imaging ? @ dr
Yes, of course that would give you an answer. But a no-brainer even if you’re at the doctor, he’s gonna be able to see a torn or ruptured proximal tendon as the long head of the bicep is obviously not attached at the shoulder any longer, and has slid down forming a ball.
For body type 1 and 2, what type of milk can people drink? Thanks.
Hello, is that a total of 140 minutes for HiiT cardio? I’m confused when it says 7 intervals of 20 minute. Thank you.
Hi, sorry about that don’t would be: 4:00 minute warm up Then :40 second interval Then 2:00 minute recovery Then :40 second interval Then 2:00 recovery :40 interval 2:00 recovery. Etc. doing 7 intervals of :40 seconds with a 2:00 recovery between each interval. 4:00 cool down. Total time about 25 plus minutes
To confirm, you wouldn’t recommend individuals run long distance then for like 5-10 miles at a time daily? How does one increase endurance if we are capping at an hour? Thanks again.
How do you stop the cramping after long head tear
It will go away on its own. Sometimes I would massage that part of the muscle and tendon that kind of slid down - kind of creeped me out sometimes feeling the end of the tendon, but a little light massage is good - but it will stop eventually.
