I tore my groin - HELP!

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!
 
Emergency - groin tear!

Re: Emergency - groin tear!

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
 
stevesmi said:
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.

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!

This is just stupid advice.

You can get injured doing anything. Surfing, running, hell you can trip and fall while walking, or slip and strain something.

Lifting heavy will not "ONLY lead to injuries" lmao! It can lead to other things like strength and size gains. Improper form, and not paying attention to what your body is telling you can lead to injuries...at ANY weight being lifted.
 
low weight high reps is good for building tendon strength, heavy weight is more likely to get you injured on cycle. With proper controlled form most peoples weights that they "lift" decrease considerably.

I used to be a powerlifter. we never maxed out until the day of the meet. and I never saw a single person get hurt doing 'heavy' weight.

but you totally missed my point or misconstrued what I was saying.

my point being don't do more weight then you are capable of doing #1, and #2 do less weights and more reps instead of hammering away with 1 or 2 reps. and yes it can lead to injuries and put too much pressure on tendons and ligaments, not sure how that is 'stupid advice' as you say.. when i go heavy my tendons start to bother me, when i stick to 6-8 reps no problems. that isn't stupid advice, that is common sense. the tendons and ligaments get worn out over time, ask any serious tennis player in their 60's and they will tell you they all have tendon and ligament problems, but their muscles are fine. in this guys case it was a simple case of doing too heavy a weight combined with improper form which tore up his muscle. hence drop the amount of weight so that you can do better form. :)

good point

and also on cycle if you grow your muscles too fast, and don't allow tendons and ligaments to catch up you will end up with issues. I grew my bicep 3/4 of an inch on my last primo cycle in 3 weeks, and my interior arms started bothering me along the tendon on both arms. so i backed off the weight and the pain subsided.
 
also I might get flamed for saying this but I am a believer in WARMING up BEFORE your weight training.. and STRETCHING AFTER. do NOT stretch before, it increases the chance of pulling a muscle. but it is important to warm up the muscles.. and afterwards take some time to stretch those muscles out. it will pay off

but you said doing heavy weight "only leads to injuries"???

so which is it?

Well of course I missed that point. You never even attempted to make it.

Also, I happen to know he wasn't "hammering away with 1 or 2 reps." At least he shouldn't have been!

You're changing your story now. You said it "only leads to injuries" before.

stevesmi said:
not sure how that is 'stupid advice' as you say..

Which part?

So your definition of "more reps" is 6-8? Aren't you lifting pretty heavy in that 6-8 rep range? Or are you not going anywhere near failure with that?

And what the hell does tennis have to do with "going heavy"? You think tennis players are in the gym lifting heavy ass weight?

Too heavy? Maybe. I'd likely lay the blame here on form or a weakness that his body had probably been warning him about but he ignored. Probably both of those. And bad form can be had at any weight. Often people will slack off on form on lighter weights that they know they can handle easily. Whereas, when going heavy (max effort or near max) people will make sure they are as prepared as possible.

Oh, and it's easier for people to know what you mean if you say what you mean.
 
I def feel good on perimeter wnd Valium. Today is upper body day and tempted tom work out with girl scout weights and just do machines...
