Alright guys. Gonna most likely keep this going as a weekly rehab log. Figured maybe my trial and error may help others if ever in a similar unfortunate situation, and also maybe others who’ve had the same experience can chime in and give their input.
4 weeks ago I did a full rupture is the pec major. Ripped the muscle right off the tendon causing my tendon to roll into my bicep and the pec muscle to roll up half way into my chest.
How it happened: Being and idiot, plain and simple. (Partially blaming tren though, shhh.)
I switch my lifts up quite often, but typically prefer heavy lifts more main movements at least. I was lifting with a couple buddies and we just got warm on the pec dec and moved on to flat press barbell. Typically even though I know it’s unnecessary, my heavy days (if on barbell) it’s not uncommon for me to work my way up to 405 for 4-5 reps. I don’t ever really try and do 1RM’s and if I know I can’t do a weight for at lest 4-6 I stay away.
Well, not this day. Got up to 405x6 and it felt lighter than it ever has. Was mad I stopped, but had 6 in my head. After that I told my buddy, “screw this I haven’t gone heavier than this for a long time, and this was just easier than ever before. Let Jump to 465. I can do it at least 2x clean.” 1. HUGE jump. 2. HUGE mistake. Pretty sure at this point my chest was just done. On the negative right as I got down to 90 I felt my chest just tighten and heard a snap. Bar dropped, instant nausea, swelling, and knee at that point it was torn.
Iced for two days, went for a MRI and it was a full rupture. Doc told me the only way it’d be the same was to do surgery, so obviously that’s what I did.
Surgery went well (doc even gave me some cool pics I’ll post if no one has a soft stomach and wants to see), and now it’s just a waiting game. I have two more weeks before beginning therealg, but decided to start some chemical therapy on my own.
Waitied one week post op to begin anything (didn’t want to further chance infection, etc) but plan on running this the whole way through recovery as I will keep a log and let you know how it’s working out.
Daily: (plus my 200mg cyp/wk trt)
2iu gh
500mcg BPC-157
20mg anavar
Doing some range of motion exercises eod (very small and limited movement), but definitely feel as if the bpc instantly helped with pain.
Im 5’4 And was 203 as of surgery day. Have not weighed yet (mental fuck), but obviously can notice a decent amount of atrophy as expected.
I own a gym and am on my feet with clients 12-14 hrs a day so I honestly have only tried to lift once (lower body was “Ok’d“). Just standing all day in the sling my shoulder and chest throb so I decided to rest while I could in between shifts instead of lifting. This upcoming week I will begin weekly pictures. Weigh ins, and logging the only exercise I can do (mobility for injury, limited lower body movements, and light cardio). Going to see how much I can maintain while going through this process.
Sorry for the ramble, just wanted to get it all out there. The future updates will be short unless there’s anything crazy changing that I need to go into detail on!
