READ I may have ripped my Pec..

[mike peters]

On my 2nd week of my mass cycle of 1500mg testoviron and 8 dbols daily. I went from 315lb on the bench for 6 reps, then being cocky I went straight to 385. I got half way down, then heard/felt a rip in my left pec. It now has a bigger pump than the right pec. Yes, I'm in pain and I know it will be worse tomorrow. What do you guys think happened?

Having suffered two major tears myself, sounds like you might have had a small muscle tear. Had you damaged the tendons you would not be there writing the message. The best advice I can give is to go and get an MRI done immediately. FInd the best sports doc you can find as most are worthless. If its a small tear, it will heal itself but you will need to go easy with it. If you have bruising, you know for sure. You might even want to consider coming off the cycle. I know this osunds like a pain in the ass but I've had nothing but problems for 3 years, better to retreat and fight another day.

BPP

That sucks Mike, but I thing BPP is right. Take care of it now and do it right so that it does not haunt you later.

BTW, enjoyed reading your about your adventures in Thailand! Good luck with the injury.

thanx for the info BPP, I'd hate to come off the cycle with all this test in me.

Mike that is really bad news. I have followed your Thai trip threads and though you looked really good.
I have not had a similar injury and so unfortunately can not help but would take BPP advice. Like he says better to be safe and come back 100% than struggle on and do permanant damage.

Good luck hope it is not serious and you are back to full fitness soon

Again, listen to BPP. Consider this too. If it was a major tear your damage side would probably be completely black and blue within the first couple of hours. Be safe and give it time to heal.

I was sweating throughout the night, the pain is worse now. I'm on my way to the doc in an hour. I'll let ya'll know the outcome.

I had the same thing happen to me last year while benching. It sounded like velcro tearing. It then rolled up into a ball towards the middle of my chest.

And yes, unfortunatly I had to have surgury to repair it. It ripped the pec tendon clean off the bone.
