I agree completely - I tore mine years ago (doing flyes) and it never has been the same since.....
-
all muscles tear in order to build up, but I would say chest and then shoulders. Ligament tears are worse and take longer to heal (shoulders and knees)

Good argument against heavy benching especially, seems unnecessary. As the weights get heavier it's better to also increase the reps IMO, in addition to good warmups and/or pre-exhaust using a less dangerous exercise.

people need to stretch between sets it is a fucking must do....period...........
I know people who have tore muscle with 225 on bench press after the heavy sets were over and they were comming down in weight ...

Odds go way up with heavier weights, obviously, and those risks aren't required for a great physique. Ego's a big part of it when upping the weights too much.

Is it possible to fully heal a torn muscle?
What are the warning signs?

I've given up flat bench. Now I only use it for close grip to train triceps. I dont wanna risk no tears, it aint worth it, aight?
-
I probably haven't done flat bench in about ten years - it stretches out my front delts and the pec tie-in in such a way that it's the wrong type of muscle soreness. I prefer barbell inclines as it takes the pressure off my delts. I don't mind flat flyes because there's a bit more give in the range of motion but I acn't see me ever doing flat bech again.

As long as she ices it up for me i dont mind :P
-
the pec muscles while benching, biceps doing heavy deadlifts with over/under grip...
peace

i disagree about levrone.
he tore his pec in early 95, got 5th at the Olympia that year but went on to have a very successful career after that.
some guys wait too long to do anything after they tear it. tommi thorvildsen is a perfect example.

i would love to have bob chick comment on this..bob whats your opinion?

So far you seem like the smartest person when it comes to training. BTW i started the back work on sunday. I know it works because my back never gets sore (DOMS). The only thing is that i take a hella long time to recover...
and Pec tears are my worst fear.

Don't use steroids. It's not just that you get stronger, the tendons get stiffer. If stretching helps to a large degree is debatable. Avoid movements where the tendon is put under heavy load in the stretched position. Often there are no warning signs.

Kevin tore hi pec in '93.
The funny thing is, some of the tears we hear about were done either indirectly or with lighter weight than you'd expect.
Like Kevin's tricep doing pulldowns and Vince Taylor's bicep with 30 lb DBs.

the guy gets no break, now imagine the size of the hole.... baseball bat

Are you saying that DA can make a baseball bat disappear by sitting on it?
-
yep, the guy's loose as a canon, lolll ;D

Yeah, I heard that the muscle gets too strong for the tendons to support when on steroids.
Avoid movements where the tendon is put under heavy load in the stretched position. Often there are no warning signs.
Well, that's almost impossible if you want to work more than a 75% ROM. I think warming up and stretching plays a big part in protecting against tears.

Epic interest in DA's ass functions (in or out)... yes DA could get you both a new one 8)
