I tear my pec and its hurting on benching at bicep area. Is it tendon or muscle which is tore? No pain at all at pec are while bencing. So is pec mucle connected to bicep?

[@andonkingry2134]

Would this still apply in a trauma tear? I was doing some military training showing how you can occlude a bullet hole and a guy pushed a little to hard on my chest and rolled down. When he did that I felt a pop now I can barely roll over in bed or function without pain.

[@mathewbradbury1776]

Nick, thanks for posting, great band ideas. Curious what the nature of the pec tear was. very different prognosis for muscle, muscle-tendon, or tendon-bone tears. I recently had a muscle-tendon tear and am pursuing the non-operative approach to see how it goes. Was this what you had...did you end up getting surgery latter or feel good about where you ended up? Thanks!

[@Audibmwjb]

I think we both had the same tear. I ended up going the surgery route. I am 2 month post surgery. Curious how did your recovery go especially that you opted out of surgery

[@mathewbradbury1776]

My recovery was fast by all standards. But I devoted a tremendous amount of time to it. With thousands of circles and light (2.5 lbs) weight/band work. After 10 months I was benching 225lbs but now over a year latter my progress has plateaued. With less tissue and connectivity I'm no sure its possible to really build more strength in that area. You might end up without the ceiling that I hit. Good luck to you. @@Audibmwjb

It seems like your chest development is lagging a bit from your arms, its always the weakest link that goes first, just my opinion, I think thats why a lot of big raw benchers have a closer grip and huge tris.

[@Opethfeldt]

I don't think his chest is necessarily weak, nor does chest size correlate that closely with strength. It's more about fast twitch muscle fibers and CNS efficiency. I think this is his first tear ever in all the years he's been lifting.

This makes 0 sense lol. You do realise how serious a pec tear is and how much you incorporate pecs to almost everything. If you’d said squat and some arms maybe i could agree.

[@vectorspace7714]

Man you are delusional! From the previous video it seems likely that your sternocostal head is completely torn and clavicular head seems to be the only one still attached to the humerus. It's not a full tendon rapture but even as it is there is no way to get back at even half your strength without surgical repair (if it's even operable in your case it's impossible to say without MRI)... It's quite possible that in the future you might not even be able to get to half your strength after years of training... To self diagnose such an injury without getting MRI is really dumb.

[@NickWright]

If your prediction is true, then so be it. I'm not throwing away $25K (or more) just to get another bench PR.... I'll be 30 this summer. I've benched 2.2X bodyweight, squatted 3X and done a TON with my lifting career. If it's time to move on from moving insane weights, I'm okay with that. As long as I am fully functional and pain-free (which I already am), I'm happy. That said, let's just take this one day at a time before we assume doomsday. I assume you're not a doctor? And if you are, you're not mine and haven't examined me, so giving me medical advice is equally dumb.

[@vectorspace7714]

@@NickWright It's your choice. Since you're a powerlifter I assumed that you cared about returning to your previous strength as much as possible (to be fair most people that are into lifting would be very upset about the possibility significant strength loss and a cosmetic deformity) but it looks like I'm wrong. As long as you don't care about potential major strength deficit and a permanent cosmetic defect then you will probably be fine. If you're really really lucky you might get a decent amount of your strength and function back (it depends on how bad the injury was which is something that nobody knows at the moment since you never got it properly diagnosed) but I wouldn't bet on it. Good luck.
