re: Torn tricep

I had surgery on both my elbows and had to restart by benching an empty bar. I would tell you start much lighter than you think you have to.

I wound up pushing too hard too early and flared up tendinitis. That made me have to back down to resolve and build back.

Don't repeat my mistakes. Start low and take it slow.

Also, one thing I liked in rehab...incorporate BFR training in the affected area. It lets you use minimal weights but also drives a ton of blood into the area. Anecdotally, I always felt like the flush from BFR aided with rehab a good amount.
