Monday I was on my last set of bench, 315, unracked it and my right peck tore, it was horrific, sounded like a pair of jeans getting ripped in two, thank god I just joined a new gym, and had an amazing spotter who instantly grabbed it, went to the ER, and they just gave me some pain killers and said it was ruptured and torn. Today I spent 5 hrs getting 2 different MRIs, (my shoulders were too wide for the machine so they had to do two seperate MRIs.) They said they can't really see if the tendon is torn as well as the muscle. It's obvious my pec is torn because there is a huge gap where my pec major used to connect to my shoulder (the armpit area). They have me coming back in a week to see how it looks because there is so much internal bleeding they have to wait till the swelling and bruising goes down to look again. I want to know if anyone has had a pec tare and has recovered and of they are as strong or if I'm totally screwed. Lifting is my passion, (lifting heavy) and has helped me keep my life on track between raising my daughter solo, school full time and work, its my release, and keeps me sane. I want to know if I can ever get back in to power lifting with such an injury or if im screwed now and lifting heavy will only continue to injure me more
Thanks guys
