The weights I&#8217;m using on my upper-body right now are about 50% of what I was using prior to injury. I&#8217;m focusing on each rep, and making sure I&#8217;m not doing any jerky movements, and I&#8217;m not training to failure as that can induce an unsafe repetition. <\/p>\n<p>Atrophy status, they are slowly increasing in size, but I still cannot activate my right bicep pretty much, and training on my left bicep is still light. I haven&#8217;t decided to put it under a load heavier then 20-25lbs in dumbbell hammer curls. I will only go when my therapist tells me to do so.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OVvPhQ52flI\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div id=\"fb_share_1\" style=\"float: left; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 5px;\"><a name=\"fb_share\" type=\"button_count\" share_url=\"https:\/\/www.mvp-athletics.com\/blog\/?p=874\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php\">Share<\/a><\/div><div><script src=\"http:\/\/static.ak.fbcdn.net\/connect.php\/js\/FB.Share\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>12 Weeks post op on the left arm, 5 weeks post op on the right arm.
