I tore mine back in August and am having some issues bouncing back. Just had a few questions for those who have been down this road. Anything else you feel necessary to add please do so! Thanks!
What were you doing when you tore it?
I was flat bench pressing 405 for a few reps and felt it tear.
Was it a full tear (pec rolled up) or partial?
Mine was a partial.
Did you go to the doctor/have surgery/let it heal by itself?
Let mine heal naturally and now have a nice indention where the injury occured.
How long until you got back comfortable lifting decent weight? How much time did you allow your chest to heal?
Now almost 6 months have gone by and I still feel it and am scared to bench over 225.
For those who continued to workout and grow, did you alter your workout to accommodate the injury? If so how?
I have lightened all weights lifted and when I do a pressing movement I dont touch my chest but rather stop about 2 inches before it.
