'bout 6 months now after my pec tear while doing weighted dips. I wasn't even able to bench for the longest time. But I was able to do dumbbells if I held them a certain way. started benching again 3 weeks ago and hit 225 for a single over the weekend. It flew up, I just wanted to feel it. Just couldnt even handle any kind of weight in the stretch position until now, so I am psyched...got to get back to where I was, the 385-400 range hopefully. So hard to take it slow when the strength and enthusiasm are there but the connective tissue is not...

just nice to hear those 2 wheels again...

thanks guys

"May I ask how you tore a pec doing the Wdips?"

too short a warmup, overpscyhed, bounced dip with 100 strapped on. Just felt it tear loose in the bottom position. Went right to the ER. Still have a nasty dent in my chest to show for it but at least it didnt tear completely off.

Congrats on the comeback and the 225. Everything will come back soon. Not too bad of a recovery in 6 months.
