The cortisone helped yesterday, but I can only have so many. It weakens the tendons. The tear is small, I know it will get worse over time. I can't even bench press at all now, have to use dumbells. It sux!!!!!!! I want to do a bb contest in August!!!!
I haven't benched in years (only incline db and once a month flat db's)

You can still build a good sized chest without the traditional bench
