Everthing responding ok. Still sucks not being able to train with 100% effert. I have to always hold back a little tingle or pull and I just back off the weight or go to a different exercise. Only been training chest again the last 3 weeks. Hopefully in a month or so I’ll be able to train with out favoring it as much.

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

Doc final visit

Finished my final follow up on my pec surgery. Looks great not even noticeable other than the small scar. Still not able to train chest for 4 more weeks. Oh well I’ve waited this long whats a few more weeks. All other muscle groups seem to be responding well. Doing super sets, drop sets & keeping rest between sets down to under a minute. A slight diffrent training style than I’m use to but a great change of pace.

Only cardio 3 days a week & legs once. Still nothing for upperbody well check is on Tues. should know more then. I’ve found myself really drinking latley I guess it’s just cause I can and it helps not think about my injuries. Oh well maybe after the 1st I can do something light upper body??? We’ll see.

Day After the Surgery

Hey I didn’t get on the computer at all yesterday. The anesthesia and pain meds had me knocked out. The surgery went well, the muscle had actually torn form the tendon & they sewed it back. I can’t take off the bandages until Tuesday. This is a happy PIC before I went back I’m sure you can tell I was felling good.

Surgery Day

Today is surgery day. I’m a little nervous never been put to sleep. I think some of it’s from waiting a week for the procedure. No food since 12 last night. I’m starved and sick from not eating or drinking. I think I’m going to take a sip of water to take my loratab 7.7 (hope it’s OK) Ya know I always say whatever it takes so Its all in a atempt to be the very best I can.

Torn PEC 1st Doc visit

DHamby — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 04:06:39 +0000

Today I had my 1st doc visit. My PEC had torn away from the bone. They are scheduling surgery Nov 14 07. I’m having towait a week due to Blue Cross Blue Shield. I’m doped up on percaset for now dulling the pain. I’ll be out 6-8 weeks then it will be hell I’ll have to struggle thru very light. But I guess that gives me time to grow my legs. I was enjoying a off season diet eating anything. But now ill have to be more strict trying not to get fat during rehab.

Yet I push harder & harder every time. Having to get it reattached. I’m so down now I’ll be out for atleast 6-8 weeks. Wish me luck it will be hard to stay out of the gym.
