Tore my right upper pec!

[rado]

Yup twice. I tore for the second time just a few days after the surgery.


Here is my doc performing the pec repair. :grin:

P.S. Not my surgery but same procedure.

But surgery is only needed for when it's severe. Don't get me wrong, it fucking hurts right now pretty bad. But I'm able to slowly and I mean slowly move my arm, but super super sensitive/tender....

I took 800mgs of script ibuprofen and when I go to bed here in a few, gonna take 800 more...

Sorry to hear that brotha, fuckin sucks! Ive been very fortunate to never have any serious injuries like that. Worst ive got has been like a tennis elbow type deal that didnt heal for 6 months. Hope u heal up quick boss!

Damn mijo. Been there. Definitely not a good place to be in because it prohibits you from doing a lot of motions that are involved with many exercises that arent just in your chest routine. Well thats how it was for me at least but then again I did not rip my upper pec, exactly. I tore my upper pectoral connector tendon ( a couple times ). Dropped a little bit too far past 90` on 120 DB press and knew right away since everything went numb on my right shoulder and had to drop the weight. This was the first time so Thought nothing of it since i had no pain so I jumped on decline to go light and at least finish my work out. NOPE. lucky it wasnt my usual 3 am sesh I was doing when I first injured myself and it was 5 am and there were a few people in the gym cause I would have been chillin there with 135 decline bench sittin on my nips until someone decided to cruise on in and help me out. :laugh:

I dont need to tell you that when you get to that part or any part of your body for that matter its better to just cruise and take things extra easy. rotate ice and heat of course. If i were you I would switch to light cable exercises to have those extra supportive muscles come into play if you decide to keep pushing that chest.

But for sure get some rest for at least the rest of the week. Get your mind right cause it will fcuk with your head.

Eat your frijoles mijo. They have the good protein and drink a esprite. cures everything :rofl:

Hope it works out brotha

Surgery is def not the answer here

But I have videos from 2010 of me doing the exact same thing,

Comon bro we all saw that one with the fake plates

[Bouncer]

sorry bro. a tear would fuck me mentally. will there be any sort of "gap" in the tear area now? kinda like toney freeman has or is it more minor than that?

[Mr I]

315 is certainly heavy.

Its easy to become complacent and very very hard, afyer starting a workout and phsyching yourself up, to back off when you feel tightness that isn't resolving with warm up. It can be as simple as you are dehydrated or you slept cramped on one shoulder and so on.

I've posted some quite heavy lifting vids on here but I certainly don't lift heavy all the time.

Bouncer is certainly a good example of a good maintainable physique that minimises risks and maximises consistency

Lol at both of you. Ronin you can barely move your arm so obviously there is something major going on in there so stop acting like a wanna be a tough guy. It's a major pec tear go fucking take care of it.

And Mr I, how do you know?

I wouldn't come to any conclusion without seeing a doctor and getting an MRI.

At the Dr's office right now. Will post in a bit

[Scrumhalf]

How did it go?

[Ashop]

And I currently have an icy/hot patch on:P

Sorry to hear. I have been lucky and had no real severe training injuries.

[rado]

How did it go?

She wants to do an MRI on Monday because it is too swollen right now to find out if it is a torn pec or a rotator cuff issue.

She thinks it's the cuff because of the way I can only move my arm.

Right now I have these patches on it and feels great...I get blood work done Monday and will know how I'm doing with the cycle.

Feels good:thumb:
