    Training split

    Age=59
    Height=5-9
    Weight=160 Lb
    BF=15%
    Years training= life long


    Recently with my previous training split I developed a bicep tendon rupture (bottom tendon) from deadlifts,

    I’m just wondering if I’m not getting enough recovery with my split and that might have caused the rupture.

    Sun=back
    Monday=chest
    Tuesday=off
    Wend=legs
    Thru=shoulders
    Fri= arms
    Sat=off

    I do 18 sets of 10 reps on each body part

    What kind of split would you guys recommend

    I don't see anything "wrong" with the routine if it works for you outside the injury.

    At 59 are you on any type of HRT (Test, HGh, Deca , etc)?

    If you deadlift using switch grip (one hand up one hand down) you have to alternate the switch. I injured my bicep from deadlift when I was young and stubborn because I could lift 100lbs more with my right palm up.

    If you aren't doing switch grip you could look into changing your grip, stance, or both.

    I no longer use a underhand grip when I deadlift “ just overhand

    I’m not taking any hrt but thinking about starting ( mabie a lack of test is why I had the tendon rupture
