Everything covered here by the gang I think.
There’s so many different options for tricep cable extensions that persisting with one that causes pain isn’t necessary
Find an attachment that works well
For your elbows mate, no sense in causing an injury. -
One week ago I ruptured my bicep tendon and the progress because of the help I’ve had from a very very good friend is astonishing
Spent most of yesterday travelling without WiFi, today has been ever so restful which is exactly what I needed
Getting my last meal and then sleep

Hi Mattia
How long are the sessions taking? Has it been like that from the start or has it just started being an issue recently?
-
Really pleased you’re enjoying the new training environment, and the online community here.
Now to dig in and stay with it mate. Keep us posted.

Really good hamstring and glute session boxed off this evening
My bicep gets better and better by the day. Looking forward to this break, and then coming back to an upper lower split to really get things rolling.
About to have my last meal, then it’s sleep time. Long day tomorrow!

Of course you can. The templates are a suggested framework, there’s opportunity to modify them for both needs and preferences.

Well, first upper session since the bicep rupture and I’m pretty pleased. I think it’s going to be ok, was able to get some movements done across everything pain free.
I’m very very conscious of the pull movements in particular, I’m going to have to change the way I train back from here on in, but I’m going to be able to get the work done.
Hams and glutes tomorrow, then it’s rest.
One meal to go, then sleep.

Hi mate
I understand that you’ve probably seen people put biceps on lower day, and thought you can do the same with triceps.
This isn’t going to work mate. You will not recover and it will impact your upper work.
You can likely get away with an additional set of laterals.
Some standard questions
– How long have you been doing this?
– Are you in a calorie surplus?
– Are required variables standardised and on point? -
Decent quad and adductor session this evening.
Bicep held up well, so I’m pretty content with leg training in totality.
Big test tomorrow with my first upper work. This will tell me a lot about what’s next for my training block.
Two more sessions, then my rest.
-
That a lot mate at such a high frequency. What does it look like as a session? How have you split out the 22 sets
I’m doing 2 sets per each muscle group besides calves abductors ect [/quote]
Ok, I meant more, do you want to share your session layout so people can help trim? -
Wrapping up my rest day with my last meal shortly.
Very surprised about how quickly my bicep is starting to feel a lot better. I’m confident it won’t be long before I can start training everything, albeit I imagine I will have to have a change of approach to back training from here on in which I’m not sure how I’ll deal with.
Got some quads and adductors tomorrow. Very much prepared for the high rep work.

Following yesterday’s sh** show, had a really good ham and glute session today which wasn’t inhibited by the tear.
Resting tomorrow, I’ll drop calories down now as I’m not in a position to push everything in the way I want, so the next two months will be focussed on getting the bicep sorted, and working around it as best as possible.

Agree with the guys here
As Oscar says, use laterals for medial delt development, and as Kuba says, for shoulder press variations, use a grip you can work hard on without discomfort.

Crap day at the office (gym). Bad bicep injury, almost certainly a proximal rupture.
Very very lucky to have some really good friends to give solid, objective advice, and to get me lined up and ready to heal as quickly as possible.
Means a switch of direction for training, but more optimistic than I was at the time.
Hams and glutes tomorrow.
