Hey bro,i had the EXACT same surgery and im pretty sure that the tear was as bad as yours.i had the surgery back in 2005 i tore my left pec on a decline bench-press with 475lbs. i picked up the weight and as i was lowering it i hear a tearing sound(like a sleeve tearing of a shirt-the most horrific sound i ever heard its kind of weird you hear it from the inside of your body also)-hopefully the surgeon who did yours done this type of surgery in the past my surgeon never did(i should have researched for better doctors,but i was rushed to do that surgery)-i was also with a sling for 4-weeks and then started some pt.im about 100% now i would say(took me a year to get back to where i was).results are so so,this really fucked me up as i was getting ready to do my first show and it happened about 6-weeks out,didnt hurt at all i must say,anyway good luck and have a good recovery. muscledoc.

alin- thanks bro- i made the mistake of heavy bench pressing. i say mistake not to cause a debate on weither bench is good or bad, but dante my offseason trainer had told me to stay away. i benched 2 weeks prior for the 1st time in 2 years and was strong for not doing it, partner and i hit rest pause with 315 for 17,12,8 so in 2 weeks partner missed workout- trained with a pro powerlifter and we decided to try heavy. hit 315 for 10, 405 for 10, 455 for couple tried 485, then hit 2 sets above 500, second rep of heavy weight it snapped. i knew immediately what had happened. i will never train with ego again.

muscledoc are you competing this season? i am planning on doing a show next september- i really wanted to hit my state show in april but may be to soon. trying to have a goal to keep me motivated.
