I reallly fu(%ed up

[onthecumup]

ok, just to give you some background. on my second cycle, started w/ dbol 30mg day deca 300 week test e 400 week. done with d bol into cycle about 6 weeks. strngth adn weight up nicely. went into gym today to squat. wrmed up, stretched everything that you should do. i put 405 on which i rep easily. the very first rep i hear a pop in my upper left quad and it actually feels like my muscles disconnect from eachother. the person who was spottin said he heard it as well. so i racked it adn then tried squattin my own body weight and my left leg cannot support ANY weight when my knee is bent. my question is, does this sound like a rip or tear for sure, has anyone experienced the same thing. also how long does it take a muslce to recover from somthing like this?

[davemuscle]

My guess is a rip! Sorry to hear that bro, however I can't help yo on the recovery time since I've never experienced that.
But I feel your pain, loosing gains just sucks (I had a hernia surgery last year and was out of the gym for a complete month and then I only started with light weights)
Good luck!

anyone else??? reallllly pissed about this, would love to hear some positive feedback??? anyone?

[taiboxa]

wow even the biggest of big guys warm up properly w/ a bar.
not good if its your ACL ur in for a long one good luck w/ that though from what i read ur warm up wasnt even sub par..

[goalseeker]

sounds like you tore something for sure...If you cant put any weight on it, then its time to go get 'er checked out bro, otherwise it wont heal properly..

[onthecumup]

whats a doc gonna do for me if its ripped though? tell me its ripped and say dont use it for a month? or is there really somthin that a doc can do to speed the he****g process?

sounds like an acl tendon injury to me. that makes a pop sound when it goes. you should get it checked out as it may need surgery. the good news is It's a fairly common injury and the surgery isn't complicated

[USMCSS]

I'm no doc and I can't see your leg, but I'm about 90% sure you just tore your ACL as I had the exact same situation occur a few years back. It sux to hear for you. I do HIGHLY recommend going to the doctor. If you don't, it'll only get worse.

Good luck bro!

[taiboxa]

no one commented on his warm up.. which is the MOST CRUCIAL part of liting.. odd.. anyways GOING TO A DOC is the ONLY THING you should have on ur mind, but from what im seeing you seem to really be out there... no offense but anyone w/ a shred of common sense would be like OH its ****d..
either A: its time to take some time off and do theraputic excercises or B: oh shit i kant even walk i need to go to doc and have SURGEREORY.

anyways we reap wat we sow...not trying to be harsh but i hate seeing people neglect warming up.. shows complete ignorance.

[onthecumup]

taiboxa, i said i warmed up, meaning i started out just do air squats then moved up gradually to 405,i didnt start out there, thats why im confused as to why this happened

[onthecumup]

where on the leg is the acl located?

[axemurderer187]

whats a doc gonna do for me if its ripped though? tell me its ripped and say dont use it for a month? or is there really somthin that a doc can do to speed the he****g process?

he's gonna tell you whats wrong with your leg bro.. then you can make an educated decision on how to proceed with your routine..

C the doc

can't f around bro, u can make sh!t worse by pushin it and it sounds like you can't do much right now...

[onthecumup]

well i googled where the acl is located. its def not that. this tear is in my upper left leg. like 8 inches below my hip.

[axemurderer187]

maybe lucked out and just sprained it...

will not know for sure until u c the doc, maybe even mri

[taiboxa]

just goto a dr. no one here is really going to be of much assistance for such a thing... especially since we kant see it or the like....

and ur going to get the same response from anyone w/ hopefully atleast half a brain, GOTO doktur!

[onthecumup]

well kick me in the fuc*** balls, im goin to the doc
later bros

[taiboxa]

hope all turns out well for ya

I was just getting ready to ask you where you felt the pain. With ACL, you'll mostly feel it in you knee and shin area. Not sure would it could be just below the hip. Either way, good luck and try to take it easy.

p.s. I guess I'm the only one that read where you stated that you DID warm up. I don't care how much one warms up, injuries can still occur

lol i read he warmed up but im always skeptical about peoples warm up habbits i seen someone come in for bench.. do 135 like 10 times then go str8 to 315.. YEAH real SMART

[goalseeker]

well kick me in the fuc*** balls, im goin to the doc

now that might help you to forget about your leg!

[taiboxa]

now that might help you to forget about your leg!

or cause him to fall down to his knees making his leg pain worse

[Jebac]

why even waste your time here .... noone can help u here with this go see a doctor or u might get seriouse damage down the road even if u let it heal on its own by staying off it .... this kinda injuries are no joke

[Reprisal 6]

He said upper left quad. If I have read this correctly, he doesn't mean anywhere near the knee (ACL). Usualy an ACL pops from a direct impact to the knee area from the side, or from hard direction changes like cutting in football.
My question is, what part of the upper leg did you hurt? The medial side or lateral side? (groin side or outside)

[Dodger Blue]

I'ts certainly not your ACL (which is located behind the knee)

[MShine]

Yea i don't think its an ACL tear. That's the sound a muscle makes when it starts to tear from the musculotendinous junction or from the bone. If you are not in Pain just ice it. The Doc won't be able to do anything for the first 48 hours... he'll tell you to ice it. after the inflammation dies you can let it heal or get further checked. If it hurts BAD, like really bad... you've torn something completely.

ICE 20 mins on, 1 hour off. good luck

no it would'ent be ACL (which prevents anterior sliding on the knee joint) . the pop might indicate a dislocation of some sort , i would even think the head of the femur out of the hip (u said pop came from upper quad). makes sense since you can probably walk on it (normally hip joint is in a stable position when upright) (and unstable or reliant on muscle tendon, ligamentous structures to stabilise when squating)

I know what you mean. I've seen it too many times as well. Idiots...
