Torn distal bicep tendon - increased healing needed!

[NotSmall]

OK I haven't been on the boards for some time so not up to speed with the latest on GH & peptides but like the title says - I've torn my distal bicep tendon and will be getting the surgery soon and want to do everything I can to accelerate the healing so my Qs are:

Is there any reliable GH out there?
(NO I do not want a source, just a heads up from the boys in the know as to whether its worth going looking or if its still all shite out there - if you PM me a source I will report you)

Have any peptides proved genuinely worthwhile or do they still all tend to be raved about for a few months when they first emerge, only to slowly turn out to be cack?

mate. forget the GH. Unless you know for a fact (this means not trusting your trusted source the dealer) because you are getting GH from a US pharmacy, you are at high risk of getting ripped off.

Instead, click the link in my signature and learn all about TB500. It's a simple peptide molecule made of a string of 43 amino acids, and therefore, very safe. Good news is that it is much cheaper than GH, you can buy legit from our sponsor, and the shit really works well.

Let me know what you think

Yeah I lost interest in GH a long time ago - all became too much of a lottery - I miss the per-Chinese-Olympics days when you cold order legit Jin straight from the factory!

That TB500 sounds exactly what I'm looking for - thanks dude!

I had the same injury and it took a solid 10 weeks of recovery post-op. Too ka full year before arms were the same size. Of course I wasn't taking anything at the time just healing natural. Wish you look with your recovery and hope the peps work for you.

10 weeks sounds good compared to time scales i have been hearing - I'm told that it takes a year for the bone to heal back over the tendon so it is actually properly repaired back to being as strong as if you hadn't done it so I would be loathe to lift heavy or box (how I tore it) until then.

They used screws to re-attach my bicep tendon (tore it sparring) and I began physical therapy very shortly after surgery to start getting range of motion back and used the "bands" for resistance training. I made it a practice to use the bands at home as much as possible to work on strength. I was still active and participated in Tae kwon Do classes and worked out around my injury. Obviously at first I was humbled and had to stick with push-ups but your body (arm) will let you know when you have had enough. Be aware that after you are healed up, you need to be careful not to hyper-extend that arm because you will feel it. I was not in a cast after surgery, just a sling. There are a few different methods that they use to reattach a bicep tendon and ususally if they put you in a cast afterwards, it does take much longer to heal.

Yeah I did mine sparring funnily enough - happened very quickly but I think I threw a loopy wide right hook to his body which he stepped into - didn't really hurt that much at the time - I thought I'd just strained something - it was only when I go home and realised my right bicep was now only half the length of the left and no longer moved when I bent and straightened my arm!
I'm seeing an orthopaedic guy tomorrow so will hopefully have a better idea of the exact procedure they will use - everything happens so slow with our shit state-run health service though!

I went to the orthopaedic clinic today and I should be having the op in about a week, drill the forearm bone, stitch the tendon to it, then 6 weeks in a cast/brace - not sure I have the cash to buy a lot of the peptide or if I'll get it in time from the states but what kinda dosage do you think it would require to significantly improve the healing time?

15mg MINIMUM

I think he meant he was back to lifting (lightly) after 10 weeks of rest & PT. My left arm after repair of the distal bicep tear was not back to normal (80% of pre-injury strength/size) for a full 12-14 months. It's best to come back slow & easy anyways. It's not a surgery you want done twice...

Ha....I did it the exact same way. Through a looping right hook to a guys ribs and he started to step back. I tried to make the adjustment but was just out of range. If you continue sparring, you will notice that it will be quite painful when you miss a punch and hyper-extend your arm. I haven't sparred since 2011 (I'm 43) and have to say I don't have any problems with the arm other then being carefull doing heavy preachers and hammer curls.

Same procedure as what I had. I would try to opt for a sling or brace and not the cast as the cast will slow things down a bit in terms of recovery. It is important to start with range of motion "almost" immediately.

I did work out "around" the injury BUT it was all light stuff. Really just did it to keep from going nuts. As far as actually doing a real arm routine, I started out very light and worked my way up slowly. At first, I was just happy to have my arm back again and realizing that I was at rock bottom, I only had one direction to go.
