Training After a TORN PEC
What a pain in the ass. Ever tried flat bench with only 45lbs. or inclines dumbell flyes with 25 s. Really sucks but havent trained chest in 4 months (what a pump). Just think about it you see a guy in shape lifting close to nothing and he has a super pump with veins showing etc. They really don’t understand and it gets so frustrating I hate telling everybody I mean damn I need to get my traing intensity up anyway if i stop after every set i get nothing acomplished. I almost want to train after hours or in a private facility untill I get through with this sh….t

Man…tough injury. Hadn’t heard of that one! Good luck in coming back. Looks like the worst is behind you now. You’ll make it.

You need one of those Animal-style t-shirts that says something like: "TORN PEC! STFU!"
Or instead of asking someone to spot you, have them run defense for you. Block the people who want to interrupt your workout.
And, hey, regarding flat benching with only 45lbs. or inclines dumbbell flyes with 25s? That is MY LIFE! I’ve joked with "monsters" (said with respect) that it’s the skinny guys like me who make the big boys and girls look big.

awe man… that’s exactly what happened to Kevin Levrone. How can you prevent tearing a pec?
Best of luck.

You’ll make it through,Darrell …just keep at it! Given what you normally could do … and can do in other areas … it must be very frustrating. But you’ll just keep progressing. Instead of focusing solely on the exact amount you’re lifting, focus on seeing improvements every 2-3 weeks or so … it’s the getting better that’s important.
