Here is how to prevent a Biceps Tendon RuptureBiceps
Tendonitis Biceps tendon rupture can occur when incorrect procedures are adopted during weight training for arms. When faced with an injury in your muscles, the right thing to do is to strictly follow what the doctor prescribed. Do not workout to regain the lost strength. Give enough time to recovery and any return to training must be gradual. You can start with some common basic exercises and gradually increase the intensity by either increasing the weight or increasing the number of reps. Few exercises to help you in this process are Standing Barbell Curls, EZ Bar Curls, Incline Dumbbell Curls, Standing DB Curls, Seated Dumbbell Curls, Preacher Curls and Hammer Curls. Every bodybuilder during the course of the exercise must endeavor to prevent injuries like biceps tendon rupture. Biceps tendon rupture is common during weight training for arms in bodybuilding. Many factors contribute to the tendon rupture like poor flexibility of the biceps, inadequate muscle strength, dyssynergic muscle contraction during workouts, returning to training before complete rehabilitation following injury and inadequate warm up before exercise. Precision is an important aspect in bodybuilding. Stand erect during Dumbbell Curls and keep your elbow close to the sides. Bring the arm straight to the shoulders and do not deviate from the Curl. Precision is also involved in the intake of proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, fats etc. in our diet. If your aim is to just add enough mass to your arms, then perform exercises which give compound movements like rows, pull ups, deadlifts and other pulling variations combined with progressive overload. Ensure sufficient intake of calories to increase muscle mass in the biceps to keep them healthy and prevent biceps tendon rupture. |
