my grip slipped and had 315 dropped on my chest/ribs during flat bench.. i wasnt paying too much attn since it was my second or third warm up set and so id just rep it out to get a good pump and nice and warmed up before going higher for my working sets... well it was my second or third rep in when lowering the weight about half way down my grip slipped causing of my right wrist to start to roll back and so my arm gave out as a instinctive reflex to keep my wrist from snapping. well i had my breath held since do the exhale when pressing up, so ribs stayed expanded, bar came crashing down directly on ribs just below nipple/pec line, and kinda bounced back up. the brunt of initial impact was on my right side before it carried over to left side coming down for an even decent
so in a sort of reflex to wondering wtf just happened I caught the bar as it bounced back up, paused still wondering wtf just happened. then when tried to recover set by doing more reps, after one rep, I had some pain radiating from the exposed area of ribs on right side , then second rep pain was unbearable so I racked the weight, when I sat up and took deep breath and stretch I felt/heard big time popping and cracking radiating all over from the same area on right side i had pain with even more sharp shooting pain...
talking to some dif doc's, came to conclusion it was seperated ribs due to location of pain and circumstances involved of blunt force trauma... with a regiment of ghrp2/cjc took about 2 months to fully heal... first month was torture and any sneeze of sudden movement or heavy lifting or straining of any kind would start me back to square one.. i did ace compression wrap around ribs to limit momement/rib expansion but stil. thel second month was a lot better once got I stable in my routine of limited and modified movements... definitely will say the ghrp2 saves my ass with the crippling injury since other wise there isnt a lot of blood flow to the cartilage tie in linking your ribs to your sternum and good chance recovery would have been longer or not as successful
