Brachioradialis Strain

Has reared it's ugly head again. I'm 64 and pushing hard to add to my lifts weekly. Even when I was young and ripped I struggled with it from time to time. Anyone here had issues with it and have advice? Thinking about getting a cortisone shot in it but also wondering if BP157 / TB500 could push a quick heal. It sucks as I was just hitting PBs on all lifts and have had to back them all way down.

Is it just sore or is it preventing you from bending your elbow or cramping up your forearm.

Bpc and TB would help speed the healing process kpv should help with pain. I just started bpc + kpv on my knee today actually.

Just remember, in a few days after you start the peptides maybe even on the second day, pain and inflammation will probably go down significantly, but don't be fooled like I often am. Nothing is healed you just relieved all the inflammation so the pain went away. You still gotta baby it for a while and try not to use that muscle too much if at all. If your going to go with peptides I'd plan a minimum of 3-4 weeks if you want things to actually make some progress healing. If you only do a week or 2, it's going to come back shortly after you stop using the peptides.

I've yet to see or hear anything negative about bpc and TB, kpv is newer, but it should be a amazing safety profile as it's just a tripeptide of Amino Acids

It's just sore. I can freely bend my arm. The soreness though is making me reduce any weight for most lifts. KPV seems interesting too. A cocktail of all 3 may be in order! I am making so much progress now my brain won't let me take time off. I know I probably should.

If there’s actual injury, I really don’t think anything will beat taking time off to heal. I actually just had something going on with my knee. I was literally just walking and it started hurting lol. I was doing a lot training wise so i think it was simply an over use injury. Hopefully this is the case with yours, but if it’s been bothering you off and on for years maybe you should get it checked out. I know some orthos now use ultrasounds instead of MRIs for injuries not very deep, it’s way cheaper as well and maybe worth a look into.

About 1.5 months ago I tore both my brachialis muscles Grade2 interstitial tear and ruptured tendons. Not full tears so I escaped surgery. I wouldn't recommend taking time off but definitely a deload week. Keep blood flow going to the tendons but no real stress. BPC157 and TB500 can help but they act better in a recovery plan, if you keep straining the injury they may not work as you want.
If you are on a statin see about going to a lower dose, a different statin, or drop it for a pcsk9 inhibitor.
Consult an ortho. They can help pinpoint the cause and prescribe an effective regimen.
Also take the weight down a bit and focus on slow eccentrics - eccentrics build tendon strength.

I did BPC157, TB500, collagen peptides, switched to a pcsk9 inhibitor from a statin, started doing eccentrics in evey arm curl variation imagineable as soon as my arms could handle weight again, and added in stretches. Almost back to 100% with absolutely no pain, in fact my arms feel better than they ever have.
