5:27 "Cause they're stupid, they're just cells" I don't know why that made me laugh, lol

Tendons take a long time to heal back to prime (6+ months). Most situations do not (even with complete rupture) require surgery. From Mayo Clinic: "recent studies indicate favorable outcomes in people treated nonsurgically if they start rehabilitation with weight bearing early". A lot of studies are going on, because it does seem to rehabilitate you do need to stress it quite a bit. That said, they usually don't rupture unless there is an abuse of NSAIDs or steroids. Muscle tear, sure. Tendons? Not so much. Other cases are extreme chronic stress (3-4 years in a warzone), trying a world record on your third training session, or tendon deterioration caused by severe abuse for months (tendonitis, which is usually so painful that to happen, it's symptoms are usually masked by NSAID or steroid use, because otherwise the person would back off a little). Most tendon ruptures have a story behind them. It doesn't "just happen" as a result of regular training or physical activity.

Thank you. I had my repair yesterday. I will move, train as soon and as much as possible. It will be an interesting journey.

Everyone writing to Rip; I have this injury... Rip; I had that injury....

Thank you. That is assuring. I tore mine yesterday. Stupid enough to sprint cold in bullshit shoes at 48. Gdmt.

Wolfe's and Davis' principles as they apply to bone and muscle respectively.

Red light therapy has done wonders for my shoulder and also increases NO through the body.

Rips response....Squats/Dead Lifts 3x5

let me guess: squats and deadlifts?

How about in the case of Carpal Tunnel? I've had no surgery and waiting for it to heal in a splint. Should I be stretching at all?

YEEEEE

Had this for 6 months and it refuses to heal. Been training squats 3 times a week

I broke both achilles:(

Hyenas: you are welcome, sapeins.

Does rip encourage "active rest" during rest days?

There's no need to get that personal with my osteoblasts homies.
