Working my way up a heavy bench. Warned up properly. Strecthed. Hit 135x10. 225x8. Went to 275x4 on rep 3 going up suddenly a terrible grinding sensation in my shoulder coupled with literally a sickening feeling of my pec muscle tearing as I pushed the weight up. Disgusting

Immediately called it a day on chest, and didn't have much of a choice. I deloaded and tried just lifting the bar, and couldn't do it without intense pain in armpit area. Went home iced, dreading the worst.

This morning no swelling thankfully. No bruising. Same amount of pain as before...not worse suprisingly. Maybe I got lucky and didn't nuclear team my pec? Just a severe strain?

Debating going to the Dr for MRI. I have GG health insurance, but that shit still comes out to like 300$ out of pocket, and would be a waste if it isn't a full tear requiring surgery.

u wont get an mri.

theyll send you for an x-ray to waste your time, because theyre idiots.

unless ur a known famous athlete do not expect to be taken seriously, especially in canada.

You can't pick MMA for shit slayer, but I do enjoy your comments.

Update: calling Dr. on phone and explaining situation, seeing if it's worth coming in for or waiting few days.

Not enough slow digesting protein before sleep.

Here I am dling 600 lbs with my minimal protein diet.

In other serious notes, pec strains are dogshit absolutely miserable. Just blast lower, if you have one of those machines that wrap around your hips and you basically goblet squat.

Yeah, in this one case it would have paid off being a little weasel like you. I could have struggled my way up to 225 and stopped, avoiding injury.

It sucks, but I train primarily like a body builder not a power lifter. I can hit everything with iso exercises (except chest ofc) and not lose too much hopefully.

Devil was right also. The first thing out of my Dr's nurses mouth was x-rays. I'm like this is a tissue injury how retarded are you people. 'Well x-rays can show other things'.

You know what's a weasel. No lie there's a guy in the rack right now with a man bun and he's using a fucking scarf to wrap the bar when he squats.
I shit you not.

It's 30 C . Guy wore a fucking scarf and is now using it to squat. Where am I.

That's actually hilarious.

Xray will show effusion which will be present if there is a soft tissue injury

But you’ll know over the next couple days whether you want to go the doctor or not

Fixt cuz canada

I had just finished my squats today, and was sitting on a bench changing shoes. I left my belt in the rack, he stands by the squat rack and awkwardly looks at me a few times and I see him out of the corner of my eye. He goes to move my belt and I look up, he sees me and stops and awkwardly stands around again, then slowly walks over to me, bends down to get in my vision, and says in the most beta voice "pardon me sir, sorry to bother you, but can I move your belt out of the rack?" I said yeah no problem man.

Now after this he needs to set the rack height lower cuz he's obviously a scrimp, instead of being a normal human being with a fukking brain he picks up the barbell from one end and slides it through the other, eventually it gets too heavy for him and it slides oi Or control nearly smashing the mirror. So the bar is half out of the rack 1 end on the floor, other end still in the slot. He then lifts the top side out and rests it on the side of the cage. I'm seriously thinking what the fuk are you doing. I move my gym bag waaay back, he unhooks the rack and the barbell immediately rolls off the side of the rack and crashes down nearly killing this kid.

And the fucking personal trainers have a problem when I deadlift 400+ and make a lil noise
