I'm actually lol about it:rofl:
I'll post pics in the next few days when it's nice and purple:thumb:this is my second injury ever, not bad for 39yrs young:agreed:the last one I ripped my hammy during jiu jitsu; being arrogant to a knee bar:retard:
Still gonna train and lift what I can but certainly need to watch this tear. I know that tears(depending how severe)can fully recover. I found this on another site.
I know some of you have torn it...what did you do and has it fully recovered?
So I was benching and I had got up to 315 and I always do that(yes after all these years, I still lift that heavy shit)for ten reps...I got to rep 4, I go down and as I come up for rep 5...I cringed like a mofo and just felt that "rip" feeling in the right upper/outer part of my chest:panic:I knew I had to lock and rack up because I train alone and never a spotter.
So I've joined the club fellas:clapback:of torn pecs

Anyway what's done is done, here's the gist of it :
• There are 3 grades of tear, and you can recognize a tear if you had an "oh **** !" moment. (the louder the curse word the bigger the tear lolz)
• Acute stage - first 2-3 days after the tear, is best to ICE it (no more than 10min every few hours) to keep it under control.
• Then you rest it for a week until everyday pain is gone, it's beneficial to move it (PF-Roms) as long there is zero pain and don't work the muscle
• Subacute stage, at this point you can't feel the pain anymore and you can resume normal activities, this is the point most bodybuilders screw up.
• You muscle is actually not fully healed, you can't hit heavy weights again .. here's the catch you shouldn't fully rest it either !
• For this stage rehab exercises are best, basically you can train using very light weights, on endurance reps few times a week, you slowly challenge yourself with higher weights
• This also help restore your muscle/mind connection, and confidence to hit your max when the time comes. (usually takes 4-8 weeks to gradually get back to it, depending on grade of tear)
