Lol.
I'm dealing with a tear in bicep belly since August; tendons are okay but there is a "pocket" in biceps center.
At least you didn't have a heart attack.

Yeah fortunately the ortho says its partial, and the tendons are in tact, so surgery is "100% unnecessary" provided I don't do stupid poo poo and try to force my way into the gym to do arm curls (or shovel more). Just gonna do PT for a few weeks and he thinks it'll recover.

I feel like a dirty shitter for saying this, but the PRT exercises before lifting are actually helpful and cover everything except your hip abductors and flexors. I just do some ratations and leg swings for them. Please don't kill me for mentioning PRT.

You can stretch after those 12 motion exercises, but you'll get loose if you do ten reps of each one.

Sucks you tore your poo poo shoveling. I had to work for the town over the weekend and ended up doing about 18 hours of shoveling poo poo out. My back is sore as gently caress.

I had already been dealing with tennis elbow, so I think the over-exertion from shoveling just did it in. Just glad I don't need surgery (yet).

*Static stretching is the devil when done before resistance training, don't unless you want to decrease your maximal and sub-maximal output by up to ~30% if I'm remembering the numbers right.

For lifting I loving love 5/3/1 warm-ups, it's based on your theoretical or if it's known then your actual training maxes. Take 90% of those maxes and do 40% of that resulting number for 5, 50% for 5, and 60% for 5 then move on to whatever you're doing. Those three sets are usually enough for the entire workout, but if you're doing two or more completely opposite kinds of movements (in my instance bench and then bicep assistance work) you might want to tack on another ~2 warm-up sets for those, given that while there's going to be a decent bit of the increased blood flow to the muscle that is needed and your connective tissues will be mostly warmed up, it's still probably not going to be firing quite on all cylinders yet.

If the whole 90%/40%/50%/60% poo poo makes your eyes glaze over, there's like 15 different 5/3/1 apps you can use that will retard-proof it.

I usually do the recommended warm-ups as per starting strength or 5x5 stronglifts. I stretch and do cardio afterwards.

the person doing it will no doubt shamelessly lay astride it on their living room floor, with great slabs of human fat holding the shakeweight roughly in place on all other sides save the one opening into a replica of misty stone's butthole to keep it from ripping their sloppy half-erect dick off

Doing martial arts after a long break sucks, doing martial arts 5-7 days a week sucks but its the kind of suck that's rewarding and awesome in the long run so hang in there for a while dudes!

My pull-ups have come to a complete halt for the past two weeks. I've worked from 10 to 17 using the Armstrong Pullup method, but I am now completely at a point where after the 17th my upper body is dead and unable to go further.

My "money shot" is with underhand pull-ups or chin ups, but I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to switch to the conventional pull-up method. I'm training both, and can knock out about 16 regulars.

I also haven't really incorporated anything aside from added weight to my workout routine. I suppose some bicep curls and lat pulldowns could get me past 17 but I can't find much beside "do a lot of volume with rest days" and "add weight"

your shoulders are bigger than your biceps ergo they will tire slower therefore you will be able to get your nasty chin past the bar more before your pathetic muscles give out

you can also incorporate pushups to your routine to help. do a set of pullups then a set of pushups and repeat

Look, I'm trying to not get bulky, chicks dude wire framed dudes with long flowy hair. I love my frame and my T-shirts.. If my shoulders get bigger I'm gonna have buy ALL NEW loving clothes and that poo poo is expensive. I'm already 4 lbs heavier and it's ruining me :(

I suppose I can do some combined pullup, pushup sessions though.

BANDAIDS DON'T FIX BULLET HOLES

Did a one-lift max for bench deadlift and squats on Friday for my unit's morning PT session.

Wasn't expecting to get 175 for my bench, but I was also disappointed I couldn't even get 315 to budge on the deadlift, that used to be something I could get a few reps of at least.

At least I know my starting point for 2016

armstrong is good for a kick start but doing pullups every day is a waste of loving effort once you hit the wall.

Do low rep (3-5) weighted chins with good negative reps one day, a couple high rep sets another (still controlled and not max out or die trying style), and a all out max set where you can go crazy on another day. 3 days with different types should get you those last few pretty quickly.

This is pretty much what I do, and I can still get 18-20 after doing a max set of pushups.
