tore a pec

[amen4847]

been there done that

Your tear, or the bruised area is pretty small compared to mine when I tore it. I was 18 at the
Time and I tore it with 475 bench press. Healed up 3 months later , no surgery. And with in the year I maxed out at 525, but after you tear it once its never the same. It willl keep
Tearing or pulling so I switched over to bodybuiding abit safer than powerlifting.

Damn I'm scared for myself. I think I'll need surgery too Two weeks and it still feels like shit
If you dont think you neeed surgery you dont. my pec is near were its suppose to be but flopping around in there like a lose hunk of meat flex it and its pain and lumps up in a ball. zero strength trying any upward motion

If you wait too long for surgery the repair will be much less successful.. also on a pec tear, full rupture from insertion is likely better than muscle and tendon rupture. Reattachment to bone is pretty reliable if healing and therapy is correct...tears in the belly can be tricky or near impossible to fix and get good function afterward

it is 10 days after tare and i will be cut 13 days (tues) aftrer injury dr. explained this as the tendon stiffens up and if ya wait to long it will no longer reach to were it once was grafts then are needed. as xplained 4 different kinds of tares 1) tendon from bone in arm "fixable" 2 ) tendon from the muscle not as fixable difficult to stitch muscle 3) muscle tear thats the one that ya cant fix muscle difficult to stitch and if ya stitch to much it can cut off blood flow to the muscle so you heal on your own 4)pec muscle from the sternum very rare cuz thats a huge attachment point
I have tendon off the bone and some muscle to muscle tare until its opened up we will see what is fixable with the belly tare

those pics were the day after every day after that it got bigger and blacker. past the elbow on my arm down to the lower ribcage on my chest now 10 days later it is lightening up
many dif kinds of tares and combinations of tares

Peace all

Fuck I just did this

**broken link removed**

Do you think I'll ever be the same with flat bench? ?

 

[paulweber55]

Damn sorry that yours has gotten worse. Mine is starting to feel better after five days, but I don't think I tore mine

 

[paulweber55]

Can you post a pic of what yours looks like now and how many days it's been? It would really help me out and I would greatly appreciate it

Im going to sound like a dick here and I'm really not trying to, I'm actually just saying….

Wow another torn pec from heavy flat benching:banghead::bang head:

When are guys going to realize there have been more torn pec posts from flat benching than any other exercise.

SOrry not trying to sound like an asshole but i probably do.

sorry to hear that.
best case scenario - its a complete rupture at the tendon which means a pretty straight forward attachment of the tendon, not much deformity with a good surgeon.

worst case - rupture of the tendon junction-muscle and tendon both tear at the junction. much more complex repair and hard to fix aesthetically. this is what happened to me 4 years ago. normal hospital couldnt do the repair so i was referred to a specialist, waiting list for the op was almost a year.

here's mine:

I tore a pec once and it was no fun.

 

[QuietStorm]

sorry about your luck. I hope surgery goes well for you.
I tore my bicep earlier this year and it still isn't right. Probably never will be again.
Keep us posted and let us know how it goes.

 

[nobull]

my friend just tore his 2 weeks ago on heavy flat. sucks brother hope you get better soon

 

[buck1973]

3 hour surgery was the tendon from the bone
so the fix was cut a groove in the arm bone stuff the tendon in there sew around the bone and through the tendon to secure some muscle tare but was left alone to heal
hurt like hell the next day lots pills helped somewat
2 days now feeel pretty goood still take ibuprofen only not a big fan of medss
will see wat recovery entails monday wen i return to my surgen
