If I understand you correctly, your bicept detatched. That happened to a guy I know. You will probably need more than 45 days before you can lift heavy weights again.

That happened to me a partial detachment of the short head. There is no speedy road to recovery, I have regained a portion of my strength, but my bicep will never be the same also the size and shape are off, and will never fully recover. I know that this is not what you want to hear but you need to face facts. On the bright side you will still be able to train heavy and win bodybuilding shows.

I detached my distal bicep tendon and had to have it surgically re-attached. If yours is torn surgery will be difficult since it has been so long. You may still consider consulting a Orthopedic surgen about it though.
