A torn rotator cuff takes at least 6-8 months to fully recover from. My father had this surgery in Feb 2008 and was not fully recovered until late Sept/early Oct. A torn bicep tendon takes 4-5 months to get over. I tore mine in June 2008 and was fully recovered in November 2008.

∙ 14y agoRecover time will mainly depend on the tear, the repair, how fast you heal, and what kind of work you're in. As a rule of thumb, you can't say how good / bad your shoulder has gotten, until about 4 months after the surgery. This does NOT mean you will be unable to work this long. Generally speaking, after surgery it's 2 weeks rest with minor exercises, 2 weeks up to 40°, 2 weeks to 90°, and after that you can move freely, but not to lift heavy weights over your head. When it comes to your job, it depends. If you're a secretary, try about a month. If you're a piano mover, try 4. And of course, to top things off, every situation is highly individual. Your doctor can prolong your sick note, but remember that he/she can't tell the future either! That's why you need to come for checkups...

What is the origin of the bicep curl?
if you're speaking anatomically (as in origin and insertion), the origin of the bicep curl would be its fixed attachment at the supraglenoid tubercle and the coracoid process (two heads), as a bicep curl is an open chain motion (distal end is free moving --> proximal end is the origin). it would be more correct, though, to say refer to it as the origin of the biceps during a bicep curl.
