Brian I am so sorry you have to keep going through these issues, you are a true warrior for persevering and keeping such a good attitude. You are an inspiration to all of us ❤💪🙏
Thank you so much for saying that my friend, it means a lot!
Brother doctors told me i needed shoulder surgery nearly 10 years ago. I havent got surgery and ive continued to gain size and strength over the years. So, im riding this shoulder out until i cannot anymore. God willing that'll be until he calls me home. Praying the same for you. God speed!
I did that and now my shoulder is chromium cobalt.
Thank you so much for sharing your story, and that some really good advice brother. Thank you so much!
@herculesinwyoming I'm sorry to hear that. The thought of not being able to use my shoulder or not being able to train is very scary. Praying for the best, God bless.
@user-dn4lg1dv5v thanks. Yeah it was a major fracture. Exploded the ball and my rotator. I can still do some lifting but I can't lift my arm overhead. I do deadlifts, arm work and bench. Have to do what I can for legs, can't get under the squat bar anymore.
@herculesinwyoming you can still bench press? Just no overhead. What about an SSB bar for squat? Just curious in case I do have to go down this path. Thanks for talking about this.
Your overhead pressing video with Mark Bell taught me how to overhead press. I've added 50 pounds to my 1 rep max barbell overhead press since I started doing it about a year ago. I really like your training videos. I'm sorry you are injured. I think you'll be fine if you just focus on moderate weights and maintaining. Best of luck to you sir!
Thanks Brandon, I appreciate the comment!
Yikes! Unfortunately if you ever do anything in your life you have a good chance of being broken. Happened to me. You’ve got a good attitude and a plan. Good luck and keep on keeping on!
This is very true!
My husband is 30. Three years ago he tore the labrum and bicep tendon in right shoulder along with severe impingement. And also tore left rotator cuff with bad impingement as well and he hurt it on incline bench and also throwing a baseball hard.
He had both shoulders fixed 6 with surgery. 6 months apart. At the 13 month post surfery mark. He bench pressed 315 for 10 reps. At the 16 month mark he benched 405 at the 18 month post surgery 440 bench press. He was a pro roller hockey goalie. Also had double hip labrum tesr surgery with impingement repair each hip. 4 knee surgeries. 3 sports hernia repairs and two groin and abdominal surgeries.
For 5 of 6 years he couldn’t even workout what he loves to do but the surgeries eventually all healed and worked. He said the surgery would benefit you. You are insanely athletic and strong just like my husband. He suggests surgery and attack the rehab wirh a good trainer
I think your shoulder doctor gave you great advice, Brian. I m a physio student and generally unless you are dealing with a severe traumatology (ie full tears WITH major pain and dysfunction) then surgery should be the last option. The human body has a great ability to heal, with the major caveat that you need to be a bit patient and, in the case of lifting, not do crazy random jumps in weight. I wish you good luck with everything and I am very confident you will make it through better and stronger
Thank you so much man, this is really helpful!
So sorry to hear about all this shit you have to deal with, brother. Stay strong and take care of yourself in the way that you do best
Thank you so much, my friend
Best of luck man! Keep doing what you do well. Your a monster and will bounce back with time. I'll keep you in my prayers for the time being.
Thank you John and I really appreciate the prayers
Your videos helped me a lot man! Thank you! Greetings from Brazil!
I am so glad to hear that, and I absolutely love Brazil! I’ve been there a few times and it’s one of my favorite places in the world to visit
Hi Brian, i had almost the same situation with my knee. Ive torn my meniscus. My first doc wanted to do surgery. I asked for a second opinion and he said when there is no pain dont even think about surgery. The likelihood of getting pain or side complications are pretty high. I think you made the right choice!
The more and more I learn about surgery the scarier it becomes. Thank you so much for the comment brother.
You’re truly an inspiration! Stay strong and I hope you feel better soon. Your resilience and courage in the face of adversity is admirable. Keep being incredible. 💪
That really means a lot to me my friend. Thank you so much!
Good luck man! You're an inspiration. And that wall is amazing, very cool!
Thank you so much my friend!
Hi Brian, best wishes with it all, your positive attitude in the face of adversity is so inspiring!
Thank you so much, that really means a lot!
All the best Brian! You've been such an inspiration. Sending prayers from Singapore for a speedy recovery💪thank you for your videos, they mean alot to us.
-Tejash
Thank you so much for the prayers brother!
Further knowledge and understanding of your shoulder cause and how your bicep tear ended up releasing pressure whilst being able to still have good function of your shoulder movement would help you be more selective on exercises that would benefit your cause of problem in future. You are still legend for your strong attitude and way of thinking. Big inspiration for a lot of people around the world keep it up Brian!
That is a really good point, I’m definitely gonna do that. Thanks brother!
Brian, praying for your ongoing healing and wisdom with this issue. Listen to Leah!
Thank you for the thoughts and prayers, my friend, but who is Leah?
I wish you a speedy recovery, Brian!
Thank you so much, my friend
Best of luck man. Whatever route you choose, I hope it goes well and you stay (relatively) pain free. Aging ain't easy.
Aging definitely isn’t easy! And thank you my friend
Glad your being so positive brother, ide honestly go the same route, rather lift longer than compete once, who knows they might develop better procedures or technology for recovery in 5-10years
That’s a good perspective. And thank you for leaving the comment my friend.
Absolutely love the wall man!
Thank you so much, sir!
Great work on the wall!
Thank you sir
Hi Brian, I torn my biceps one week ago in the same way and my doctor didn't recommended a surgery. I was having more pain in the shoulder rather than the bicep but now I feel really being able to train almost normally. Hope you have a good recovery!
That is exactly what happened to me! I wouldn’t even have known the rotator cuff was torn if I hadn’t gotten that MRI
If I had a nickel for every time a doctor said to me "you'll never do ____ after surgery again. " and they were 100% wrong I'd have at least 2 nickels.
To be fair to them, the majority of people they deal with are people who don't exercise and never have. They've got no muscle or strength and that prognosis is probably completely accurate for them.
Yes, I’ve definitely been told false things from doctors before
Good luck Man.
Thanks, Jason
Thanks for the update, glad to hear you won't be going under the knife again. And yes, I do love that wall, it came out amazing!
Thank you so much on both accounts, brother!
I am still recovering from rotor cuff surgery. The front , Lateral and rear was torn completely off the bone. I had a total detachment of the complete rotor cuff. The surgeon here in Orlando said there was nothing he could do, except for a shoulder replacement. I told him I did not want that, so would you just repair it the best u can and I will except that. So he reluctantly did. My surgery was the last Thursday of may 2023. Its still healing and I'm happy with the results. I will do another MRI this may to see how it restored itself. I talk to people who had shoulder replacement and they were constantly having trouble. The surgeon used cadaver tendons and other tissues. It will all work out, Christ is in control.
keep at it brother, I wouldn't go for surgery either unless it was the absolutely last resort. that wall is awesome btw! I love black walnut!
That is what I’m thinking too. And thanks so much about the wall!
When you have a doctor you trust and has done you good go with them in my opinion. I have had the same doctor for all my surgeries and he has said essentially the same thing do surgery/cut when it is the best option.
I totally agree. Thank you.
Oh man surgery doesn't sound fun. Good Luck man, hope you continue to train and be happy!
Thank you my friend!
1st of all, I'm sorry to hear this.
I tore my rotator cuff for a couple of years and I had the surgery last year when I was 42 - the most critical part (key of recovery) is the rehab afterwards.
I live in China and rehab therapy sucks here but I am at the stage that I can OHP with an empty bar already, which is over 10 pounds.
I'm no doctor but personal opinion: the younger I do (did?) the surgery, the better and faster I can heal.
Best of luck, Brian!
Thank you so much for sharing this my friend
Hope you fully recover Brian , stay positive 👍🏻. Does the bicep or shoulder hurt when dead lifting ?
No it does not
No pain is a gain baby! Congratulations 🎉
Haha thank you!
I do like the wall, and I like that it's from your property. I am recovering from my 2nd distal bicep tendon tear in a year, so I kinda understand your pain. And I"m glad that you have less. Hopefully you get many more years of use before the upside down replacement, or maybe there is an advancement between now and then. You've had more than your share of medical bad luck.
I really appreciate you sharing your story, and for the kind words, my friend. And thanks for leaving a comment, it really does help.
If it is not broken, don't fix it! Most important thing in life
There’s a lot of truth and that
I'm currently going through rehab on a torn rotator cuff (didn't have surgery). Have you looked into single arm heavy club swinging as a form of strenghtening/recovery? Wish you a speedy recovery Brian!
Some surgeons are knife happy! Prayers up Brian!
They have to pay for those condos somehow
Thumbnail caught me off guard. I’ve never seen you without a cap and i was like ‘who is that?’ Haha
Haha indeed I do have hair
The body is capable of adapting even in these cases, as a chiro and physio i suggest to do not do surg...don't do that man..keep on doing what you do , get adjusted and you are going to be fine.. thx for everything
Great advice and thanks for taking the time to leave a comment brother!
Hallo Brian.
Thank you for your example of staying positive and inspirational during challenges.
I love your videos.
I need advice please.
Your shoulder used to hurt when just lifting your arm.
How do you still get through your training sessions and physical labour?
Do you just work through the pain?
Do you take NSAIDs?
I have been struggling with an elbow condition for years - had surgery etc, no improvement.
I always try and avoid any movement that causes pain, as when I just work through the pain, it usually just gets worse.
But, that leaves me with very limited exercises I can do, and also with very limited ROM on most of them.
Thank you!
Definitely no NSAIDS, haven't touched them for decades and honestly, it has just been working through the pain and working around the injury. For your elbow...Have you seen my video about elbow pain? It may help
Thanks for the reply Brian, I really appreciate it.
Yes, I remember that video, about the bucket of rice.
I watched it again today and will try that.
I have a feeling something is pinching though, the doctor that operated also mentioned that, as he could not find any issues.
I think maybe Radial Tunnel Syndrome.
I will pray for pain free training for you as well Brian, you add so much value for so many people.
Thanks again!
Hopefully you'll be pretty much fine for a long while, Brian, despite the rotator cuff tear 🙂
I do indeed like your wall that you built the other month... or did you get bored and do another one? 🤣
As for lifting heavy with your shoulders, I shouldn't worry - your strict overhead press is my deadlift, so it's all relative 😁
I really appreciate you watching the whole video and for leaving such a well thought out comment brother
I've had a rotator cuff torn for 16 years now. It's still not symptomatic, most of them are not.
Your rear delt assists in external rotation, and can compensate for it. It just doesn't create space in the joint like the rotator cuff muscles because it pulls up instead of down.
The thing is, you can get space in the joint two ways, one is by moving the humorous away from the scapula, one is by moving the scapula away from the humorous.
So you can compensate. You should aim to keep your rear delts and mid/low traps turned on, and firing to reduce the damage being done in training. You probably sleep on your rear delts, and just like sitting will turn off your glutes, laying on those muscles will turn them off.
Another thing, and I know you don't wanna hear it, but I'm 95% carnivorous. I don't accumulate as much damage from glycation, or my immune system attacking non-nutritive proteins in my joints.
I know that isn't for most people I only do it because I have to, but you should at least consider making more of your diet animal based.
There is some really great advice in this comment, brother, thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a well thought out response
Shame that the cuff is torn, but Im glad you're not in pain and can keep training. Also much prefer the white wall next to the wood wall than the green haha!
Yeah, I definitely made a mistake with that green but the new color sits much better and thank you for the comment brother
Both my shoulders are garage but i havent done surgery and its been about 5 years now pain goes and come
Garage is now for shoulders
3 week post op from a full thickness tear on left shoulder … gotta say recovery isn’t that bad already back sleeping in a bed and only after doing pulleys or any PT I have some discomfort which I been icing . On other days I go in the gym sauna and put the shoulder on the wall right over where I got the anchors .. feel it’s been helping . Wishing you the best
I had the same exact injury and came out with a bone marrow infection, which led to giving myself four needles every day for months. I think we had different recovery experiences. Haha
@@BrianAlsruheOfficial Brian Thanks for the reply ! i have never seen someone so blessed (strength wise) and also cursed (injury's/surgerys )then you . but here you are still a beast lol . that infection with the pick line and all was crazy. went back and was watching the comeback series with your dates . your just different . Best of luck im sure your going to have a ridiculous fast recovery and do another 500 bench video soon lol
If you need to compete to get it out of your system I think that can be a good thing. You should try and take your greasing the groove method, and incorporate like a face pull for your rotator cuff since that's most likely to be a weak point long term, just supersetted with pull ups.
I have completed so much in the past that it really doesn’t mean much to me anymore. And that is a great idea with the face poles. Thank you my friend!
I feel like there’s something that’s being missed if most of the pain went away when u felt it give way. I’ve felt sensations like this before, I think connective tissue? Or fascia related stuff, but dude if the pain went away maybe it was something that built up to protect you that just broke away and now your mobility is freed up again. I would roll with it. Look into knees over toes guy, he’s really helped me with my knees, and party for my shoulders as well. I believe you’ll be ok. Chuck a shitload of blood in the area and I believe you’ll be alright Brian. Godspeed to u, I’ve learned a lot from you over the last few years
Totally agree with decision If it doesn't hurt, doesn't affect anything you do, why would you get it cut on? (and all of those associated risks and endless therapy). I see surgery as a great choice for the sickcare industry, not so much for you.
lots of people (almost everyone over 50) gets meniscus tears in their knees (old age ain't for sissies). The sickcare industry solution is to go in and cut the tear out. And then you have therapy for months and then it works as well as it ever did. Then I read a study that compared cutting the tear out to doing nothing. Time of pain/healing/functionality ALL THE SAME. There is no value to the surgery at all. The trust is gone.
it doesn't hurt, it still works as well as it ever did. Pffffffffffftttttt don't mess with it. Probably been torn for years. Glad you're feeling great and strong.
There is a lot of wisdom in this comment. Thank you so much for taking the time to write out such a well thought out response.
In the meantime, do all the shoulder mobility stuff regularly. Hopefully this will aid in long term success.
Great advice, thanks for taking the time to leave a comment my friend
I mean.... sounds like what you're thinking is the right way to go.
Thanks brother, I hope so
pah men... vamos arriba! fuerza!
Thank you!
The indications are complex, also not the same having a torn supraspinatus, or a torn infra/subscapularis, these last form a force coupling and the shoulder can perfectly function. Sometimes the supraspinatus can function as a spacer not as a mover working properly even operated.
Also not mentioning the re tear rates in the liiterature, is up to 20% or more...
The long head of the biceps is guilty of many shoulder pains, and when ruptured because of degenerative attrition makes the pain go away, with almost no repercusion. Reatachment doesnt guarantee strength, sometimes it can avoid the popeye sign in models, dancers etc... but up to a great percentage the deformity recurs...
You hace alternatives when the cuff is massively ruptured, superior capsular reconstruction, transfers... in our center we have a serie of workers with massive rotator cuff ruptures that get back to work and strength with transfers and superior capsular reconstructions.
You mention arthirtis, but it s differente glenohumeral arthritis, which is inherent to labral damage and massive cuff damage, AC arthritis which can happen with trauma, weight bearing etc, most common.
I am ortho surgeon from spain, following you many years hope that helps
This is incredibly helpful! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your knowledge. I literally think you just made my entire channel smarter by 8%.!
"43 years of being an idiot with my right arm." Giggity
Haha
Bro ur pain free now.
Enjoy it and live life. There’s no guarantee that any of us will see tomorrow…..so no sense in worrying about tomorrow, next week, or 10 years from now.
Head up.
Lots of wisdom in this comment! Really good mindset. Thank you for sharing this.
My shoulders work fine. I just want to have working knees for a while longer. After 30+ years of playing sports, lifting heavy stuff, and 4 operations my knees are a bit beat up. My right one pops more than I would like. It will get a "what was that sound" doing a triangle choke as when my leg is near your ear it makes a pop loud enough the other person can hear it.
I’ve had four operations on my left knee as well. But at least the replacement for that is pretty spot on. They apparently haven’t figured shoulder replacements out nearly as well yet.
Goodness...
These things happen I suppose
My dude if you don’t HAVE TO crack open that waterproof seal, don’t. Nosocomial infections (as you can attest) are no joke. There’s approximately 250,000 people killed every year from doctors, and infections are a big cause.
Had a biceps rupture and got the surgery. Aside from the aesthetics I don’t think surgery helped. The arm still kills and strength isn’t back to 100%. Had a “ream and run” (partial shoulder replacement) because the doc assured me I’d be back fighting, could hit the gym as normal and back to work. After almost a year of the most painful PT I’d ever experienced, I was involuntarily retired. It’s been a few more years since and the pain and sleeping still sucks and I’m no where near back to normal in the gym. But the jokes on them I’m living the dream in warmer weather lol.
The wall looks good too bud.
Man, I am so sorry to hear that brother! But thank you for sharing you experience so that we can all learn from it!
Most people are walking around with torn rotator cuffs, but they are never symptomatic so they never get an MRI. As long as it doesn't affect your every day life I'd be hesitant to get surgery. There are studies about the number of people with torn rotator cuffs; try to find them.
I keep hearing this more and more, thank you for the advice, my friend
Idk man I’ve got though shoulder surgery after I suffered a crazy training accident. Coupled with arthritis. It didn’t help at all. I chose the to the fundamentally rebuild the rom and strength. through the application of many different strength modalities. And well as stem cells and peptides. It’s been 8 years. Right shoulder never dislocates now. And I almost never have pain. I say almost because I’m constantly doing too much
How did you like the peptides? And thanks for sharing your experience brother!
I wonder if the knees over toes approach to rehabilitating that shoulder would be beneficial
Unfortunately, there is no rehabilitating. It’s literally just broke and I’m going to live with it because the alternative is worse.
@@BrianAlsruheOfficial I hate that for you best of luck to you. Thank you for all that you do within this community.
Sounds similar to when Mark Bell ‘blew out’ his knee, was told the surgeries he needed and the implications. He did nothing and let the body heal what it could, has since squatted and deadlifted above 600 and run marathons. That’s not the story for everyone, but it could be for you.
Very true, I forgot about that story about Mark. Thank you so much for the reminder and the comment my friend.
Any thoughts towards stem cell therapy?
I am going to try to find a place!
Hi Brian, have you considered stem cell therapy?
I have not because I haven't found it yet but I would love to get it!
This man is running through the full gamut of the human condition. I still remember when you got infected with a god awful parasite. Stay healthy Brian.
It’s hard to do but……take the long ,slow but obsessive recovery approach ….hope it works out for you
Great advice, as always thank you Randy
Heckuva wall there
Thank you, sir!
May be worth looking into stem cell. Cheaper and more effective than it was 5 years ago
A good number of people have said this to me, so I think I’m going to look into it
I recommend add steel mace or clubell to your training.
Both are great tools if you have any issues with shoulders.
Also adding some kettlebells exercises like turkish get up or bottom up press are good idea 😁
Greetings from Poland 💪
I think I’m going to do this. I’ve heard enough people recommend it, but I think it is a smart move.
My shoulders never felt better since I started using steel mace 😁
Also stuff from Ben Patrick a.k.a Knee Over Toes Guy are amazing for shoulders.
Skin The Cat on gymnastics ring also is a amazing exercise but be careful.
I think your doctor is smart for disagreeing with surgery. If its not broken, dont fix it.
Totally agree
Brother, check out stem cells. Multiple pro athletes have had shoulder tears repair themselves with stem cells. It may be a long shot, but a shot worth investigating if replacement is the estimated future!
I would definitely be down for that!
Stem cells?
I’m looking for a place near me that does it
From what you said I wouldn't go to surgery. Not because I know it's better but because if you are wrong you will accept it. But if you talk yourself into getting surgery and something will go wrong you will be mad as hell.
That is a very solid point my friend. And thank you for leaving a comment.
Good luck man. Do some dead hangs.
Thank you my friend and that is some good advice
Can't wait till nano-bots are a reality
Seriously! I can’t wait either
Sad to hear about your injury situation, could stem cells be an option for you.
No Surgery !!!
Seems like the smarter option
Dude maybe it's time to just lay off the lifting so hard,and transition to mostly coaching. How often are you going to post about recovery?
Coaching is my primary focus. I didn’t think the weights were that heavy. And I didn’t hurt myself lifting, I hurt myself doing construction.
