Rippetoe has a solution for this that involves doing like 25 sets of chin ups for 4 reps or some shit for a couple weeks, look it up. Also look up the theraband and rock climber rice butler exercises. Try hanging from a bar all the time as well ml
i got injections in mine which eased the pain but the weakness was still there. what healed it in the end was about 5-6 months of isolated rest. sucks, but depends how bad it is to begin with i guess (i kept re-injuring mine by trying to train too soon in the beginning). it seems like it'll never heal but the sooner you rest it completely the better.
I fucked up my distal bicep tendon a few years ago and it took years to get back to doing chinups. Every time I do any curls I can still feel it in my tendon and I don't know how what to do about it. When you look at my arm you can see a bump where the tendon is I don't want to make it worse but I gotta hit biceps
You talking about tendonitis? I just recently got it out of no where like 2 months ago and its progressively just gotten worse. Finally went and saw my doctor and she just told me to wear the tensor bands (which do absolutely nothing) and go to physio
Bpc157, 250mcg injected locally twice a day worked for me. Then I waited a bit to see if it really worked, then I trained it. Underhand close grip lat pulldown is a good exercise to start with to gauge if you're healed or not

Blew mine up playing disc golf 2 or 3 years ago. I could sidearm over 400ft from a stand still, I haven't been able to get that distance back since. Trying to play now just depresses me
I think I got the same thing but from sitting too much at the computer and its fucking me up because I can't tell where the pain is coming from and working out actually reduces the pain
you got weak wrist extensors or pronators as compared to supinators (including biceps) and wrist flexors
either way, switch out all supinated elbow flexions for neutral or pronated flexions temporarily
target the weaker muscles with lighter isolation exercises. you can still go heavier on reverse/hammer curls
on the isolations, focus on fighting through the pain with an intense squeeze at the end.
when putting down heavy weights that you are gripping tightly, don't open your hand right away as this makes your weaker muscles fight against your strong, tight muscles. instead, once the weight has been placed somewhere stable, take a second to consciously release the supinators/wrist flexors before removing your hand from the weight. oddly, i find that giving it one last squeeze allows me to do this best as my brain focuses on those muscles.

The choice is yours

curl with EZ bar instead
Squats and barefoot walking

Pull ups. No more isolation or suppination. After a year you'll be 100% and really good at pull ups.
Get a bucket full of rice and move your hands around in it vigorously til you get a burning unbearable pump. Repeat regularly.
No, it won't increase your strength retard

push through it retard, unless you're a 30+ boomer in which case go see a doctor I guess

I had to cut back to one bicep day a week. Also, hammer curls aren’t as rough.
Wrist wraps to keep your wrist straight, and wide grip pull ups to strengthen my grip.
It crippled me a few years back but I haven’t had any pain since I started doing all that.

I got the most brutal tendonitis in my elbow from using my laptop with my arm tucked up at a weird angle. it's killing me
