Back from surgery

Hello all,
Im back from distal bicep rupture surgery. Its been a long painful 4 months but im ready to get back to the grind. I was looking for advice on getting started back. Im not sure how aggressively to be at this stage and to be honest i think I might be a little gun shy. My Dr. Said no pull ups for 3 months but thats about all the instructions he gave. Hoping someone might of had the same surgery and could give me some info. Thanks

Welcome back and good luck on the road back bro

Wishing you a speedy and healthy recovery, sending positive energy your way

Welcome back good luck with recovery

Bro..had it done 15 years ago..had the "L" cast, then that thing that lets you increase range of motion..DR. told
me go do what you want to do.. and he was a orthopedic for NFL team. IT actually should be and get stronger where it cannot happen again.
THe thing is the whole arm will never be the same unless you strengthen all muscles in that arm and keep the balance..I get cortisone shots in my inner elbow every now an then.
Still see same dr. MY tendon on surgery arm still has a little gap compared to good arm..So, the tendon will be fine, its just the other parts of the arm
must be well taken care of..due to the change in how it functions..I used t get paranoid about it, but nothing ever happened...I did keep any type of curls lighter,
but never had a problem with the tendon..and YES, mine was full rupture.. Best of luck. You are all good though!

AND I thought he would have me do therapy, but no. just all of a sudden said go do what you want. so the tendon is fine...but again, just have to take
better care of that arm...and you are fine!

welcome back man,,take it slow,,, you will be back in no time ,,, muscle memory aint no wives tail

Wish you fast recover and good muscle connection,get well!

Can't help you with any advice, can only wish you fast recovery...If your Doc is so genius I'll better think about visiting another specialist

I did not go under the same surgery but i did get biceps tendinosis from doing pull ups every day and heavy ass hammers and curls. Coupled with one or two bad deadlift days.
Everytime i did pull ups or hammer curls it hurt like a bitch.
So i have quit doing pull ups. I started using those pink weights for curls. Started with 2kg each hand. Now im upto 10kg. I will keep it this way. High volume low weight.
Key is patience and not giving in to ego.
Gradually increase the weight.
Oh and hgh helped a little bit in the recovery. 4 iu a day, 5 days a week. for 4 months.
