torn pectoralis major while benching
yesterday when i was benchpressing i ripped off my pec. major.
i was warmed up well did pyramide 5x110kg,5x120kg,5x130kg,5x140kg,5x150kg and then wanted to do 160kg.
the first rep felt really good but the second one i lowered the bar and when i pushed out it was like you break a piece of wood.
i knew immediatly that this was'nt good, my whole pec ripped lose from underneeth my armpit.
we went to the hospital but they said they can only re-attesh him after a couple of days.
i,m hoping that the healing will be fast but i have really no id what time it will take.
anybody have experience with these kind of injurys?
how where the results after surgery?
when could you start training again?

i ripped a pec at the beginning of a wrestling season one year, was out for almost the whole season, you will most likely be out of doing any chest exercises for atleast 10 weeks stressing the word atleast

I've heard alot of success stories using HGH to speed up really bad muscle tears like that one, might want to look into it at least. Obviously it wouldn't fix it over night but it might get him back into the gym a bit faster

i allready started hgh 5 weeks ago so i will contineu that as i figured that would help me recover a bit faster, i'm on aas year round so this might give it a litle push in the right direction also.
does anybody know how my pec will look like after surgery? will it be symetrical again? what about strenght after recovery(weak spot)?

you may have a slight "dimple" in your pec, depending on how succesfull surgery is. scar is gruesome, but a buddy of mine did it and just covered it up with a badass tatoo.

What causes the muscles to tear like that?
It seems I've been hearing alot of this lately. I've seen a guy tear the bottom of his bicep. The muscle just curled up to the top. Nasty lookin!

ok i tore mine right of the bone 5 weeks ago.
had it re attached 3 weeks ago by surgery ( 2 weeks after )
a few points
u need an mri scan
if it needs surgery u want to do it soon as possible
u will be immobilzed for 6 weeks with a sling
then physio after
3 months after surgery u can train chest, but not heavy till 6 months after surgery
full tears will not heal themselves - hence getting a scan early is important
if it heals itself it is a partial tear
gh and certain steriods should help recovery (deca , primo, anavar ,eq)
this is the protocol, the best surgoen in uk did mine and explained all this.
i hope this helps
please pm me if i can help in any way
3 weeks till this damn slings off

for now ICE! every day. then get it examined later to see the extent of the damage. Surgery is usually only done on extensive tears, so be prepared to hear that.

i've had surgery 2 weeks after it happened,this is now 8.5 weeks ago.
i was out of my sling after 2 weeks and started training legs(no squats) 4 weeks after surgery i started training bicep/tricep(light),6 weeks after surgery i started training back and at the 8 week i was training chest/shoulders lightly and can hit hard on back/bicep/tricep.
my physical therapist and the doc that did the surgery are amazed on how fast i recuperate with help of:

deca 200 mg ew
hgh 3iu ed
4 weeks lr3 igf-1 at 50mcg ed

I did the same thing. It is a classic AAS related injury. Muscle grows much faster than tendon. Essentially your muscle rips the tendon off the bone. I have considerable asymetry but complete strength and mobility 3 years after my surgery. It was a tough surgery. It will be quite a while before you are back in the gym. If you are still cycling, check your blood pressure. Mine was so high that I needed to take something to get it down. Otherwise they would not have done the surgery.

i ripped mine about 3 months ago, and had active release done too.. i still feel it when flexing and lifting, not 100% back yet at all..... my real problem is that i tore the tendon, muscle will/should heal quicker

i had the ripped of the bone to. no pain when flexing anymore and all workouts except chest are back on track.i'm really amazed about how fast the recovery went cause today is exactly 9 weeks since surgery.

I ripped mine 2 yrs ago, it will take at least 8 months before u will to get bacl to doing Light barbell benc press. when i was able to start lifting with my chest I did nothing but machines with very light weightwith a ton of reps. LIke i said it has been to years and my bench hasnt been the same. you will probly hve to change your grip as well. I have to go really wide now

Tore mine. I just happened to run gh a couple weeks after that (what a coincidence), healed in two months. Of course mine wasnt too too bad, didnt need surgery.

but i agree on paying attention to your body,don't let the weight take over a good form.lift as heavy as you can with a good form and understand that aas makes your muscles stronger then your tendons can adapt so don't go up to fast in weight.
