Excellent video. I first found her video with the bicep issue connecting at the shoulder. The was so good that I was disappointed that this wasn't my issue. My bicep issue is with the lower bicep tendon at the elbow/forearm so I was so happy to find this one. Thank you for your great explanation and knowledge on the subject.
Key takeaways: take a break from doing pull exercises, e.g., pull ups, bicep curls, or go for lighter weights that you feel comfortable with; push exercises are generally fine
I've got it on my first day of gym. my left hand (the weak one) I had a little pain while doing the lifts and curls at gym. but it was normal like my other arm had a muscle sores as well. but while I was asleep the pain gradually increased and i woke with stiff muscle around the joint and pain. I'm not sure if I should go to gym or how many days I should wait before going to the gym again.
Thanks for the video! I've been getting pain here after badminton sessions, in which most of the power in overheads shot is generated from pronating the arm. I'm wondering if perhaps some very light strength training on the biceps would strengthen the tendon and help?
It will - you just have to time it well so that you don't overwork your tendon by playing + strength training - all the loads in a day and over a week accumulate to cause trouble so space enough recovery days between different exercise sessions.

I have it in both my arms it started when I carried my young kids in my arms constantly and it flares up really bad anytime I pickup my kids and hold them in my arms!!!! Worst annoying pain ever
Nice video, Great info, not sure what I did, pain both arms same place as described. Been doing lots of pull ups pushups pulldownns etc. with no pain for a year. Racked out my yard and neighbors yard after last hurricane....😂all day. Now painfull to do workouts now. Been taking it slow. Feels better daily. Thanks
Around 4 years ago i used to weight train and i had to stop because of a deep ache in my bicep that just got worse and worse. 4 years later i picked up a 12 KG dumbbell and i have a kind of sharp instant pain followed by weakness in that same arm. been doing some curls now and then but as soon as i do some it feels tender and worse for days.
Get it reviewed by a physiotherapist (or doctor) so they can help you figure out what you need to stop doing and what you can start doing to help it calm down.
Few years ago i over-did pull-ups, basically forcing myself every day doing them, not knowing my muslces are progressing faster than tendons, and my distal tendon got fucked up with time. It wasn't a rupture but it hurted badly. Now, few years later, i started going to a gym and i'm really enjoying it. But whenever i am doing pull-ups or bicep curls this pain is returning. It's mild but i cannot put on more weight because it will hurt more. It's easy with pull-ups, i just excluded them from my training routine and i found an alternative. But for bicep curling i cannot find an alternative. So if there is anything you would recommend for me to fix this issue i would really appreciate it. I want to do bicep curls and i want my arms to get bigger. It is weird that this pain is still here after all these years, and i am not even doing that much weight on bicep curls.
OK so the things you have to keep in mind is that a lot of other arm exercises in the gym also work the biceps (even if it is not he main muscle working) so often it is the total amount of work it has to do in the session that is a bit too much. So you need to figure out what the tendon is currently able to tolerate with all stuff put together and then build from there. 1. So my advice will be to prepare yourself mentally to take 6 months to "rehab" your arms and that you can only start training for big muscles after that. 2. Then you first need to see how your arm is coping with your whole set in general - cut the bicep curl and pull-ups out so you can see what the effect of the general session is. Repeat this twice to ensure your results are consistent. If it still aggravates your arm then all the exercises in your session has to be reduced to a level that does not aggravate your arm. 3. Once you have got the correct level for your general lifting work (so that session does not aggravate your arm) then it is time to add the bicep curl. But go ridiculously light and slow - e.g. use 2kg - it should not feel like work at all and observe the reaction. If that is fine, then the next session increase slightly, until you find the weight that is just on the edge of OK and stick to that until your arm is 100% happy. Then slowly increase the weight. Hope this all makes sense If you wanted help with your rehab and an exercise plan, this is something that our team of physios can assess and help you with via video call.

So i just really over worked my biceps and pecs? Cuz i didnt get sudden pain, after 2 days i can't straighten my arms out or stretch my chest. my biceps and pecs are painful. I have to endure the pain and slowly straighten my arms out
Im not sure if tendonitis is what I'm dealing with or not but a lot of what you're saying sounds on point for what I'm dealing with. thing is I don't work out at all, im an artist, i also do most of the house chores & for the last year ive been having on & off pain. Doing the dishes, typing, being on my phone & art seem impossible somedays. 😓🤔 Anyway your video/s were very informative!
@@danishsayyed7597 same thing happening to me. Do you feel better now or is it still there? I was doing a lot of pull-ups and woke up the next day with this.
@@xivmarr yea i m fine but it took 10 to 12 days to fully r3cover !! Even it was painful but i slowly slowly stretch my arm fully straight with left hand keeep on doing it even if its painful do it
@@danishsayyed7597 bro i can't even stretch my arm perfectly I'm doing some bicep exercises and next morning I have this issue it's 2days now I can't even notice some recovery..... After How many days you noticed that your pain was decreasing And is this issue bicep tendinitis solve with some exercises? Bro plzz tell me
This is exactly what I have been dealing with! Almost 2 years later it is still hurting and I am only now getting back to working out. It made me so depressed that I stopped working out altogether and no one could tell me what was going on, but what you described is EXACTLY what I have been dealing with. Sounds like I am finally on the right track. Just lifting much lighter now and slowly getting back into it.
wow same exact thing as me 2 years of this........ just started some bloodflow exercises with bands feeling much better started to workout lightly again. Any luck since you started again?
@@anthonylj9709 Yes! I'm happy to report that my bicep is probably 80% back to normal now. All this from just working out light for 2.5 months. So ironic that 2 years of laying off and doing physical therapy and all kinds of MRIs etc and this is all that I had to do🤦♂️
@@Triniboi05 thanks for the update I've been working out again also feeling much better also thankfully I'm off work right now or I'd be in the same boat but the blood flow Def helps alot
@@Triniboi05 Hello, are you at 100% now? Did you strictly use light weights, that did not cause any pain or reaction in your tendon or did you try some heavier weights as well to push it a little bit?
@@Eagle2894 Still not 100% yet. I am very slowly using progressive overload, so I am gradually gainning more and more use. At this point, I am still perhaps 85% or so. It's a slow process now, but at least I can lift. If the weight feels even slightly irrirtating to the tendon, I back off, swallow my pride and lift lighter.
I believe this is the injury that I currently have. I woke up with a shooting pain in my arm. It felt very much like static. Eventually, the tingly feeling has dissipated and it mostly feels sore when extended. I can still feel tingling in my thumb occasionally. This was definitely a scary thing to go through. Hoping everyone else will get through their injuries!!
This is exactly what I have and perfectly explained. I can do 37.5kg dumbell bench press but can’t do pull-ups at all even though I can normally do 10-12
I have big muscles with big arms men wished to have but i stopped doing Bicep workouts for many many years, according to you i have tendinopathy its exactly how you described in this video i don't feel a sudden pain the pain just escalate during workout, anyway i actually thought it was a big injury like i needed a surgery to fix this but thank god its not and then thank you very much for your amazing and helpful video your explanation made this easy to understand
I have been dealing with this for six months and it is not healing. I have tried to ramp it back up but have been unsuccessful. Even doing household chores has made it worse. Not sure how to get it healed as I have stopped weight training completely now and only going for runs. Anybody gotten over this?
Thankyouu so much. I have a weird painful strain in my lower bicep. its aching badly, and hurts the most when I straighten my arm. I can feel the hook, so I guess I'll just give it rest for next few days.
@Gaurav Athwal can you tell me. It happened after Bicep exercise. I am having same issue when I strech my arm straight it pains at lower bicep. How much it took you to recover.
Best video I've found on this topic, thank you. Very clear but detailed and realistic advice, and you didn't just say "rest until better", like many do (and which in my painful experience absolutely doesn't work). Happily subscribed for more. Cheers
@@SportsInjuryPhysio My pleasure. It's clear you're speaking from great real-life experience helping people in practice, and you understand active people. You're not just a "fitness RU-vidr" who read some anatomy online, and you're also not a typical GP prescribing immobility and painkillers!
Self myofascial release via trigger point therapy. Twice a day. Extremely low weight eccentrics twice a day. Very low intensity/high volume. You should also figure out what the root cause is. Mine was my shoulder. Had to do a lot of trigger point therapy on my upper traps, lats and pecs. I also had to strengthen my rhomboids and lower traps. Tendonitis is usually a symptom of something higher up the kinetic chain that is distorted and not working the way it should be. Working on good posture by strengthening the erector spinae/thoracic mobility will also help. Look up postural distortions and find the one that best describes your current posture. Good luck!
Agreed with many of the comments. I see a lot of videos and information on upper bicep tendonitis, but significantly less on lower. Most search results bring up golfers or tennis elbow, which is not the same thing. Thank you!
I have a slight ache in the elbow, but not near the tendon. When supinated, it ache is almost like it’s in the brachioradialis. It’s strange. So I’ve been resting.
I think I have the same pathology as you have, I think my distal biceps is inflammed, but I have also pain next to the tendon, near the brachioradialis... What kind of movements leaded you to this ? For me is when I'm doing external rotation of the forearm... Good luck to you
@@quintus.barior7548 Spider curls. I think I was pushing too hard while my wrists weren’t neutral. Since then, I’ve done forearm lifts to strengthen the muscle and it’s felt fine. You too homie.
I'm 58yo. When I was 26 I had already distal tendon problems on both biceps. Also later in my 30's. I realised 10 years ago to do eccentric (negative) movements. My tendons strength is now much better. 2x a week before working out I do eccentric workouts just to warm up the Biceps and be sure they don't get hurt again.
This is so useful, thank you. I’ve got this from walking my dog and bracing when he gets to the end of his extendable lead and hauling him back when he’s trying to kill something (everything that moves). He’s going to be on a short lead for a bit until I’ve recovered properly. The bugger is currently curled up between my legs snoring so I can’t even get up to make dinner 😖
I am 14 yrs old . 6 months ago one day i got sudden encouragement to workout and really overdid bicep curls in one day. From tomorrow my arms started hurting really much from my elbow to shoulder. Its been 6 months since then and even though my arms dont hurt when i am not doing anything, if i try anything that requires me to exert a little force I feel a sharp pain in my biceps. I dont know what I have to do. I havent been able to do anything heavy in the past 6 months. Please help me if you can suggest anything.
Hi there, We cannot provide individual treatment advice without doing an in-depth assessment of your injury and your personal circumstances, as the advice might not be appropriate for you. It would be best for you to see a physio who can diagnose your injury and prescribe the correct treatment.
my pain isnt there always but when i extend my arm and point my palm in to the air i can feel that tendon (i think) its very stiff feeling like someone pulling it hardly.
Thanks, really helpful, i’ve had it for a year now and I already reduced my bicep curls from 30kg to 10kg and totally stopped weighted pull-ups, the tendon doesn’t really get stronger even if i go up by couple of kg it will start hurting again.
@@chrisw2612 it took about a week for me to get full mobility back. The pain was the worst on the 3rd day, after that it slowly tapered off. Tried negatives again about a month later, and it got really sore again. Decided to only do light curls for now, and rows. Staying away from pullups in the mean time.
I got this back when I was actively workingout 17 years ago, stopped gym, only just recently back active again and the lower back tightness on my weak hand bicep is back again. It's not pain, but SUPER DUPER TIGHT and it restricts my curl sessions when working out. It's unbelieveable how it's the same symptoms from more than a decade ago still exactly the same. Super tight, very very tingly like something is moving in my lower biceps and I don't even need to use my heaviest weight to trigger this. This is very annoying.
I've been dealing with this for 4 months after picking up a heavy object where my forearm was lifting and turning. It's stiff and painful in the morning. The pain is always there at varying levels.
Just started experiencing tenderness on the inside of my bicep near my elbow today towards the end of my back workout. Kinda bummed.. I think it’s from going extra heavy on rack pulls or too much volume. I took yesterday off tho smh
Thanks, i’ve had distal bicep pain from doing heavy pull-ups for a year now, took a month off gym and first week back and the pain is still there. It always hurts when doing pronated pull-ups hammer curls and bicep curls. The only way i can work through my workout is applying Deep Heat to it, it makes it really hot then the pain is bearable. I’ve also changed my grip to a neutral grip which takes a lot pressure of the bicep tendon.
I used to overdo with pull-ups every day on the bars (street workout), and fucked up my left bottom bicep tendon. I had to stop training because street workout without pull-ups is shit. Now 3 years of no training later, i decided to hit the gym. Now after 2 weeks the pain is here again, and the worst thing is that it is on both arms, but the left one is worse. It really feels like when you fuck it once, it's there with you for the rest of your life. Guess i'll just have to forget about pull-ups and just do lat-pulldown machine.
Lol lat pulldown is literally ahat created mine. I didnt even do pull ups and got this distal bs to deal with. Its been about 2 months still hurts.. 😢@Paulo34343
Mine hurts from guitar picking at insane speeds 😂, gona rest it more see how it goes... It doesn't hurt if i do nothing, but even small weights give slight pain... Do I wait until no pain?
I’m doing a 1000 pull-up challenge in 24 hours. I just did a practice run of 300 in an hour. I’ve noticed my lower biceps and elbows tire much faster than by back, of course, was wondering any stretching or recommendation for stamina in that area. I have strong biceps and back but I guess want to strengthen the tendon and joints more, thanks
Hi Noah, stretched will not give you stamina (endurance). If you want to be doing a challenge like that you have to think about how you space it it and getting good strength and endurance before you go into it. Think of it like running a marathon. If you start fast and use all your reserves up by doing 300 in the first hour, then you will likely not be able to do many after that. But if you start slow and space it out (perhaps just 150 or 200 in that first hour) and you make sure you eat carbs to replenish what you lose and you rest your arms properly between sets, then you will actually finish more quickly and stronger. You can always make a big push when you only have 300 left.
I partially dislocated my elbow doing bicep curls. Is that a similar thing? Popped out a bit on distal side. Pain just won’t go away. Is the answer to just rest it for a number of weeks? Any info from anyone would be very appreciated.
It's not the same thing but yes, you must let it rest and then you must slowly strengthen it. You also need to keep in mind that the ligaments are likely damaged and may need time of limited range of motion to help them heal - best to get it checked by a physio and proper treatment plan prescribed.

Hello! First off I want to say great video and awesome knowledge, this is the closest i've got so far to understanding the pain i've been going through. I have some questions though, when you said "it's never a sharp pain, because if it is then it's ruptured or partly ruptured" I got super anxious because that's exactly how my pain started- I was curling 100 lbs on the cable at 50 kg body weight (I was doing fine with this weight, until I stopped for about 2 months then came back and tried again with no proper warmup) and right after finishing the set, I sat down and crossed my arms, then after about a minute of chilling BOOM! I feel a sharp sudden pain in my right bicep just like you described. This was about a year ago. After that incident I just kinda stopped lifting anything altogether because it was too painful, and now I have tightness that turns to pain when lifting slightly heavy things. Soooo my question is what should I do now? An MRI? Now that I know it might be a rupture or a partial rupture. I had an ultrasound that showed my right bicep tendon has a slight inflammation, other than that pretty clear. So would an mri give me my answers? Also, is it possible that after so long my bicep Distal tendon tightened back to normal, and now it's just Tendonitis? (By the way I can feel the tendon as you showed to check at 2:52) Please answer as I have consulted a physiotherapist and he treated this problem as regular pain/tightness after a workout! If there is legal problems with giving advice through youtube comment section just add something along the lines of "This reply isn't a medical recommendation" If you read this, thank you.

Thank you so much for this video. You have put my mind at ease. Any time I get an injury I tend to stress too much about it thinking the worst. By your description, I for sure just irritated the tendon and need to give it time. It’s only been about 5 days for me, and I’m seeing improvement. I’m 37 years old and am pretty new to these annoying injuries.
Hello, I have a question, what do I do when the distal biceps tendonitis is so severe I can't do either bicep curls or hammer curls without being sent into an episode of serious pain, no matter how light the weights are or how slow the exercise is? Prolonged resting doesn't really do a whole lot for me. I need help with resolving this quickly since my other arm is now developing this condition as well since I have to compensate just to get by in life

did she said 50 - i used 5 kg and this happened will i was on a sedentary lifestyle before now i started to go gym 2 days ago i didn't had any sharp pain but in morning it was painful and sore that tendon is tight i straight my arm completely without pain
Sounds like what you did in the gym was likely just a bit too much compared to what you usually do - it might also be the combo of exercises you did. Remember, any exercise where you pull (so rows and lat pull-downs) also work the biceps. So it might be total volume of all of those instead of just the curls.
Eccentric only exercises can sometimes be a bit too strong for the tendon at the start - you may have to start with even less weight and just do regular curls and very few reps - You usually have to also progress much more slowly than what you think. Also check if it is not other activities that also use that area that is actually aggravating it.

Thank you for the video! I have a question if you’re allowed to answer. I tore my right distal bicep and replaced it with a tendon from my left leg. Can the left distal arm that wasn’t torn become imbalanced and feel like it can’t keep up with the fixed right arm? I ask cause my left distal bicep has become crazy sore and I swear it’s trying to tear to match and balance out with my right arm. Thank you!!
Dear ma'am while i was doing bicep curl i felt pain and after that i had pain for 3-4 days where i wasn't able to move arm freely and it was paining but after 5-6 days i dont feel any pain and can move my arm freely also my arm got normal like no swelling so its good like that was minor iniury ?
If it now has full function and is pain free, then yes, it sounds like a minor injury. Just be very careful when you go back to the gym that you don't jump into heavy weights too quickly - test it with light weights and slow movements first.
I got this whilst training jiu jitsu, I was under the impression that Because I stopped weight training the biceps weren’t conditioned enough anymore and couldn’t endure the intensity of jiu jitsu. So I started doing bicep specific exercises which did actually help abit but I went too overboard and now the pain is very bad. Should I just avoid sparring and do some light exercises aswell as rest and ice to rehabilitate it ?
If it is very fared up, a period of rest plus light movement is usually best and then easing into gentle exercise and progressing to heavy over several weeks.
I’ve had this for about 5 years now, and just pushing through workouts till it hurts. Do you think i need surgery at this point due to time left untreated?
It doesn't sound like you've tried conservative treatment yet - so, no, the first step is to see what happens if you actually simply start looking after it and allow it to calm down.
I cant extend my arm over 90 degrees, if i spend a few minutes stretching i can but then it goes back to 90 degrees and I cant extend it again. It's in constant pain after I did hammer curls about 4 or 5 days ago. Is this tendonitis or a tear or something else? I didn't feel a sharp pain during the workout but in the video it didn't say that with tendonitis you litteraly cant extend your arm.

Is it common to have pain laying on the side? Had this pain for 6 weeks, then played tennis and washed my car, it got way worse. Havent been able to do anything for 4 weeks 😢
So I don't get it. Does bicep tendone get injured due to lack of supination training? And how will doing rehabilitation curls prevent bicep tendone pain in the future?
No, biceps usually gets injured because you overtrain it (e.g. ramp weights up too quickly or not allow enough recovery) and often also because technique isn't good. The reason bicep curls help is that it restores the strength you lose due to the injury, but that can only be introduced once it has calmed down to some extent and has to be started very gently and slowly increased.
is it ok that i cannot straighten my left arm fully? i feel pain my tendons only when I trying to straighten it, and anyway I cannot open my arm fully. should I just wait recovery?
Guys help I feel a sharp pain when I twist my arm palms up (as if your doing a twisted curl) and bend arm fully I feel sharp shocking pain at lower bicep
It sounds like you would benefit of getting it properly assessed by a physiotherapist who can identify what is causing your pain and what exercises you can start with to help it get better.
Might be a pain sensitization problem. Start following the advice in this video... except one thing... instead of the painful/sore next day criterion to adjust your load, use increase in pain/soreness relative to the usual amount of pain. Over time pain will decrease and you can still progress with load as long as pain isn't increasing. Since you have had the pain for a while, it might take longer to resolve, but you'll be fine for sure in 6-12 months. Only resting will not be the most ideal way to treat this, you have to start exercising (with reduced/tolerable load) to recondition the tendon and also your pain receptors. Also research shows isometrics can help with pain sensitivity and slow eccentrics work best for tendon reconditioning.
I don't know how common it is for the biceps but I have had people get tendonitis in several different tendons around the ankle at the same time. It seems that some of us are genetically inclined towards tendon injuries. But it may also be worth making sure your diagnosis is correct and that it is not something like the nerve that runs in the arm that is causing the pain in those areas.
I did a biceps session and I believe I have exactly the thing you described. There wasnt any sudden pain and it started to hurt a few days after. Although I have no problem with flexing or turning hand, it really hurts when I'm stretching the hand. It is really weird. I was just wondering if anyone has the same issue.
What if you have accumulative distal bicep tendonopathy of the left arm, and during your job you use it for very short periods of time during the day, ie: pulling patients to and from the stretcher, and lifting the stretcher, and just after a few calls, you can feel it flaring up....how do you do a deload if it's been two weeks without training them directly(because I was weight training 3 times a week before this). So if my job makes it flare up, how am I suppose to heal? Keeping my arm bent too long just holding my phone in that position can make it uncomfortable too....the tendon is there it's just very uncomfortable doing the hook test so I know it's tendonopathy....
You just try and adjust what you can - for instance - you now know that holding the phone like that can irritated it - that is a very simple thing to adjust, so adjust it and start using your other hand etc. See if you can make it better to move patients by being on a specific side so you spare that arm a bit.
@SportsInjuryPhysio it's both arms but alot worse on my left, very very minor on the right. It was getting better, so I did a really long stretching session of the whole body including some PT ones for the bicep tendons off the tube which made it feel just great, I then however proceeded like a dumb dumb and tested out new weight lifting grips that came in the mail, and did 2x6 deadlifts which brought it back. So now I know that it WILL go away if I baby it for about a month and don't do anything heavy regarding that kind of motion. I'm just so sick of being in gym prison with these shackles on my elbows lol. Anywho, I know HOW I obtained tendonitis too. I worked out heavy for a year straight doing the same 3 exercise sets every weekend with no deloading phases. Never gave my body a chance to completely heal. Live and learn. Fitness is a journey, not a one stop shop know all be all. Ill Always have to remember that!
I was playing basketball. Ball can off the rim and hit my tendon area . Instantly pain. I tried to play on and minutes later took a shot to test it and heard and felt a crunch in my lower bicep area. I can move my arm but have limited mobility when turning my palm facing up and moving it down. Please tell me I can sleep this off
Ugh, I am going to guess that sleeping it off likely didn't work. If it still has limited range of motion in turning, you might want to get it assessed to rule out any serious injury.
No such luck. I went into the dr. Office and saw the only dr. Available as mine was not able to be seen until the 17th. This gentleman did not seem to know anything in regards to the situation. I was wearing my chef coat as I was able to see him that same day. He looked at me and said I looked fine… I told him please look at it with out my arms being covered. He then said I looked A symmetrical . His literal question to me was what did i want to do about it. I told him that is why I was seeking his consultation. He gave me a referral which I’m waiting on a call this coming Monday. … One of my employees is studying to be an RN and she said the thinks it may be a blood clot … which gave me hope that I might not need surgery. But then I come back to reality that I don’t think a blood clot would make my bicep retract. I think the swelling is slightly reducing and I’m having better range of movement but still tender palm up in some positions. I’m still going to see the specialist of course. Do you think it is possible to have a bicep strain without tearing the tendon? I know this is all over the place. Thank you for responding. Just seeking and understanding as I have gotten only more confused talking to the medical professionals I have been able to see so far.
I have that pain after starting a warehouse job its really hurts but I cannot stop until my contract ends doing infeed. I cant extend my arm straight or it will be painful af tho I manage to stretch
I can’t make my arm straight either. I was doing a lot of pull ups yesterday and woke up with this feeling today. Not only does it hurt when I straighten my arm but also when I bring my fist up to me shoulder. anyone know how long this takes to heal?

I have bicep tendinopathy induced by a doctor and phlebotomy gone wrong. yup, thats right. he induced a hematoma the size of a tennisball in my arm. that was back in April, its now September and my arm is still in daily pain and Ive gone from 20kg dumbell bicep burls to 5kg curls rehab. 7.5kg is still too sore. my entire gym life has been ruined by a needle. some days the pain is just excruciating. Over weekends I try and rest but I can never give it more that 2 days off as I work in a workshop so its a lot of hard manual labour and I need to use grip and pick shit up.
My bicep has been felling all of a suden pain allll throut my bicep but only hurts when used intensely and it has a full range of motion. I did it climbing and after i finished a climb i just hurt no pop no nothin just all of a suden pain qnd idk why. What is this.
I’ve been dealing with mine for over 2 months. I stopped curling and all I do is work my shoulders and chest for 2 months and it’s still there so I’m guessing it’s a small tear cause it’s not fully torn cause I can feel it’s still attached. It’s frustrating cause it just won’t go away. 😢
