I noticed that this chanel does not have youtube shorts content. It's something that people should add to their content foe more visibility as youtube promotes shorts aggressively. I would suggest to take parts of all ur videos and randomly upload as shorts. Shorts don't need to have content in chronological order of the full videos which gives more freedom. As for duration multiple shorts of 15 sec each would be what I d do.

Tore my distal bicep boxing someone circled into my hook so I had an extended arm with a slightly bent elbow and a neutral hand position. It put all the force right into the tendon heard the crunch and then immediate dead arm. Doctor was able to reattach it didn't have to drill the arm used dissolving sutures. Original recovery was 6 months but made a full recovery with minimal muscle loss within 3 months. Used BPC and TB also started almost immediately in the brace with shoulder movements and then quickly bicep movements to keep the muscle alive. I had a miraculous recovery!!!

So your recommendation on not doing preacher curls. Would that apply to standing cable curls with a short bar/short grip? The reason I ask is I felt a strain doing them. Not much but a tiny one and it’s not in the large tendon of the bicep. It feels like something underneath
@George-q3l9n · 8 months ago
Heavy isometric work can be part of the last set of an exercise on the last rep as a way to test how it feels. I like doing that for palm up close grip pull downs and on regular barbell curls. Very good video.

Great video! Im looking forward to the next nutritional video. I am type 1 diabetic and am aiming for a world record lift in 6-9 months from now, so i need all the education i can get to strengthen my previously ruptured distal biceps tendon and my injured right shoulder.
