I tore my groin - HELP!

[gymrat surfer]

I was doing leg press at 720 and my groin teared so bad that I passed out and took me for ever to get home. I am limping and the hardest part is getting up. I am half way into cycle and don't know what to do.

Do I have to stay out of the gym now? I want to train! How long would I possibly need to be out? Can j just work upper body? Also, do I still run and complete cycle or end it early and go straight to PCT?

I don't know what to do and nothing feels worse then a setback! I don't mind the pain, I just want to train! Appreciate any feedback as I feel lost and don't know what to expect now that I'm injured. I have 8 more weeks to go on AAS and don't know what to do... Thanks!

depends on how bad the tear is. muscle heals quick but you have to let it heal.

i would stick with the upper body for now.

good, best bet is to get into a dr asap, specially a sports med dr, they know muscles/tendons/cartilage best!

only work upper body, i had the same thing and it still plagues me now as I didnt have access to good rehabilitation. Yours sounds exactly like mine.

Stay away from things like shrugs, deadlifts, and rows, and anything that will strain your groin. Dont do cardio just yet.

heres a guide of how to deal with a groin tear:

I would wait at least 3 weeks until your start phase 2. Take your time to recover it and youll be glad that you didnt rush it

That's a real good post to do with this type of injury.

whether to stop your cycle is up to you. if it were me yes I would stop the cycle and save my gear for when i was COMPLETELY healthy.

in the mean time keep working ur upper body but dont go crazy. even working upper body can aggravate the groin area if you are pushing too hard.

in the future I wouldn't do heavy weights, it only leads to injuries. better to do lighter weights and more reps. when i go too heavy my tendons start flaring up in my arms. not worth it. stick to lesser weight.

and like i said above muscles heal, bones heal. but you have to give them a chance

Agreed.

I hope it isn't a hernia... That's not something that is likely to heal on its own, and it can get worse if you indeed have one, and don't either wear a special strap, or get it fixed quickly. Good luck, Bro, and let us know what the doc says!
