In this video, I share my experience with a full proximal bicep tendon tear and my decision not to undergo surgery. I discuss the nature of the injury, the initial incident during a Jiujitsu session, and the subsequent formation of the 'Popeye bulge.' We explore the anatomy of the bicep tendons, weighing the pros and cons of surgery, and why I opted for a non-surgical route. I highlight my recovery journey, including exercises, physical therapy, and supplements that assisted in regaining strength and mobility. Additionally, I delve into the effects of specific exercises on the appearance of the Popeye bulge and share advice on managing similar injuries effectively.Infrared Pad: https://amzn.to/4q0ddZoGrip Strength Trainer: https://amzn.to/4aE4do8-- My Socials --
