Hey guys, I’m going to fly in the face of conventional practice here, as usual, 28 years of clinical experience dealing with these issues and been there and done it…
at the outset of the injury off loading for a few days is probably quite useful, however, in its current chronic state rest will actually make the knee and tendon worse.
I’ve mention3d before, as it’s chronic, ice will have little effect as there isn’t any inflammation to reduce.
my approach would be to look at your biomechanics and decide whether the exercises you use for your lower workouts are suited to your individual biomechanics. as opposed to purported to being the best for mass building, there are no good or bad exercises just ones that are good or bad for you.
BPC 157 will really help.
occlusion training is massively beneficial and will help you to continue to load the tendon without the need for excessive loads which in the first few weeks of recovery will be detrimental.
look at hip mobility too as limitations in flexion and rotation will place more load on the knee joint.
check your load order sequencing, as whatever gets loaded first gets loaded the most I.e. your knee as opposed to your hip…

Imo ice is useless in these tendon issues. they have gone through the inflammation stage by the time they become symptomatic, so all the ice is doing is reducing an already poor blood supply. heat works really nicely for tendon issues as they have a poor blood supply, so any local increase in circulation is beneficial as in order to lay down new tissue you need 02, delivered in the blood stream…

Hey Mate, yeah it sounds like biceps tendinitis. common among both enhanced and natty lifters. it hasn’t moved to your delt or forearm those are where the attachment points are for that muscle, it just feels like it’s your delt and forearm. so first port of call source some BPC 157 which is a healing peptide and available on-line. if you DM us on Insta I’ll give you the dosage and management strategies for its use. you need to offload whilst the BPC is doing it’s job, around 20 days. then I would be using BFR training to build the strength back up to where youbare able to train it normally. BFR works really well as it’s usually performed at around 30%1RM so won’t overload the damaged tendons…

check out our Insta page and our work with Emma Hyndman, it’s not comprehensive as it’s limited by the 59s time limit for each post but it will give you a flavour…

it depends whether it’s a serratus anterior weakness or a nerve issue, involving the long thoracic nerve. the former can be addressed with exercises to strengthen the serratus, such as scapula protraction using a push up plus or similar to build strength in a horizontal plane and an exercise where you are working in the vertical plane. motor control improves in as little as a week, whereas it takes 4-6 weeks to improve strength in that muscle. alongside these strength exercises make sure you get pec minor loosened off as this contributes to that scapula dyskinesis….

Yeah, exactly Dean. I’d agree with that, intense sweeteners I’d be cautious of during the first trimester especially. Bulk sweeteners I’d be less concerned with unless your partner has IBS type problems but that’s a separate topic and doesn’t directly influence foetal development. Danielle RD

You’ll very likely also have developed secondary hypolactasia following a bout of Salmonella poisoning. Your gut will be producing insufficient amounts of lactose due to injury of the cells lining the gut wall. This is temporary and will resolve on its own but I’d recommend in the interim avoiding dairy products with high lactose levels. You may be able to tolerate small amounts of cheese and yogurt but I’d stay away from milk for 2-3 weeks. Danielle RD

Concur with Dr Dean. My only inclination would be to avoid those loaded with junk sweeteners as a precaution. The Organic Whey Co have some clean whey supplements sweetened with coconut sugar. They come in berry, chocolate and unflavoured. Danielle RD

I’m not a fan. I’ve reviewed hundreds of food intolerance tests over the years and symptomology bears little resemblance to foods that were identified as having a positive food intolerance result. Like you say Jan. The most frequently eaten foods are also the foods that are most frequently identified as being positive. Elimination diets are still the gold standard in clinical practice and the only system I’ve reliably used over the last 2 decades. Danielle RD.

use knee wraps at a tightness of about 7/10…10 being the tightest you could tolerate. perform 4 sets, 1×30, 3×15 remaining occluded the whole time…the burn and pump is next level tbh but studies suggest that your own endogenous gh response is 200 times greater than when not occluded…

Hey, pec tears are common and with some careful management shouldn’t cause long term prob. assuming you can’t bench yet, start off with some banded chest press using the strength of the band to apply appropriate resistance. keep rep ranges in 12-15 range. once able to move through full rom, progress onto a press up variation, perhaps starting on wall and progressing to floor. if you can do these in the same rep range, I would suggest some occlusion training. there have been a few studies looking at the effect of upper arm occlusion on hypertrophy and strength in the pec major muscle and certainly from my own experience this allows you to get some sort of chest workout in whilst only loading at ~30% 1RM…
