Seeking Advice About (Distal Biceps Injurry)

[JohnScott]

Hello Everyone,

I'm new here. I found the forum through Google search. So, I thought I would take your advice on this subject.

7 weeks ago, I was training very hard and not getting enough nutrition nor sleep. So, I ended up with a biceps distal injury. I was doing (Static 90 degrees pull ups -One arm-) Front levers & weighted pull ups,
in that order. While I was doing the last exercise - Weighted pull ups - I heard a pop coming from my biceps, however there was no pain but I stopped training immediately and the pain increased by the time on that day.
I saw a doctor and he gave an Anti Inflammatory and Massage cream to apply for two weeks. I asked if it was a tear or what, The doctor said that what happened is that the tendon "Snapped" and I shouldn't do anything for two weeks and then try lifting a chair. After two weeks the pain was gone but I couldn't lift a chair. I went to the gym and tried Lat pull down @7 - 14 - 21Kg. I had a feeling or slight pain with the 21 and couldn't do inverted Rows without pain. After some research online I found that this type of injury requires 4-6 Weeks of rest. So here I am now after 7 weeks of rest.

That's the whole story. Now, I want your advice or opinion just so I could add more information about this issue I have. I'm planning to go to the gym tomorrow and do a full body workout with weights and bodyweight. Just light work for pull movement and medium for push and legs.

I'm not making this clear  Let me clear this up. Do you have any idea about what I should do or shouldn't do in this time? Did someone have the same injury and could enlighten me?
Am I correct on going and trying things tomorrow or should I wait longer? Is there exercises to do before getting back to workout again?

Further Info, When I was injuried I was training Calisthenics along with some of the Gymnastics Skills
Handstand, Front & back Levers, Early stages of Planche, Pistol squats, one arm push ups, l-sit.
Two weeks ago, I started trying stuff at home. Such as push ups and handstand. Pushing for me is fine. I could do push ups, Handstand push ups, Pike push ups, Pseudo Planche push ups/leans, Holding a 70% perfect tuck planche . I also tried 1 Pull ups two days ago and didn't feel pain just felt like I'm very weak as in a person who can't do many pull ups and was shaking A LOT. yesterday tried some sacpula retraction/despressin (SHAKING A LOOOOT)

 

-Forgot to mention, There's still some swelling in the outside of the biceps (Brachialis)

That it Thanks in advance for any opinions or advices. Sorry for the very long tppic
