Hi guys, I am aware there are a few on here that have recovered from bicep surgery, and a friend of mine has asked me to ask for some advice on his behalf.

he was wondering about rehab tips, any diet/suppliment suggestions that anyone felt helped rehab, whether training the other arm is worthwhile etc.

Just anything that may be of use to him really.

He is a former BSM competitor and has still been training but to a lesser degree due to illness.

Lots of sports massage along with active and dynamic stretching!

I suffered a quad rupture - different parts of the body but all muscles are the same.

Thanks, the streching stuff is a given in the early stages, and he is aware of the basic follow on procedures from the doc, but looking for any additional input based around exercises for the next stage and anything else that can promote recovery.

Any thoughts on the theory of training the other limb being better than doing no arm work at all?

Also, which exercises can be resumed first?

Surgery was only last week on complete detachment, so early days still
