When I was reading your first post,i thought you would talk about pec tear.

Be careful.
i know 3 people torn at least.
One of them told me.He tore with bench press with 4 plates each side in 6th rep.
I was flipped when he told me that the guy about 15m away from him can listen the sound of tearing pec.
Scare!!

And also i was surprised at truth which he told me that he didnt feel pain when he tore.

I have had only two. I snapped my achilles playing racquetball and I cut the end of my nipple off with the plates. Not bad for 30+ years in the gym

this was about to happen to me last week on the flat bench but i somehow balanced it..deja vu

Yeah its true.And curious.
Before big accident, some small things always happen implying something to do with it.

My Uncle dropped a Barbell on a kids head back in 86 while doing a heavy set of standing overhead presses.The father of the kid had let him in to the Gym for some unknown reason and just let him run loose.The boy was only 6 and was in Hospital for weeks with Brain Trauma.My Uncle felt terrible for the kid so he still sends money to BillyGuns to this day.

LOL! That'sa NIIIICE! I Like!

Damn special E, I know you're going to be disappointed in me. But in my gym's parking lot there used to be broken up cement all over the place and I didn't watch my step and twisted my ankle, spraining it real bad. I didn't sue for whatever reason.

Figgs,

I am disappointed in you. Everyone must remember the five rules of injuries:

TOP FIVE RULES OF INJURIES

1. It's never your fault.
2. The fault lies with the party who has insurance or deep pockets.
3. If you have health insurance, go to the ER and go for PT, OT, MRI, CTSCAN, XRAYS, and Rehab.
4. The statute of limitations is THREE YEARS in most states for personal injuries.
5. Even if you think you're not hurt or your doctor says it's nothing, trust your lawyer to find serious and permanent injuries.

Remember, if you want to live the life of a Pro, it all starts with dumping the 9-5 job. Compensatory damages are TAX FREE per IRS code.

I tore my damn pec 2 months ago benchpressing. It's totally derailed my competition plans for a long damn time.

To anyone who benches heavy: don't do it anymore.

Benching heavy won't cause pec tear. What cause pec tear are; improper form, not warming up properly, and overtraining.

That is actionable. The failure of the gym management to ensure that such hotness was spread around the gym and not congealing in one place was directly responsible for your anal fissure, tearing, clothing damage, drycleaning bill, nausea, headaches and emotional distress. Please contact me to initiate legal proceedings.

If you or someone you know has been hurt or seriously injured in a gym accident, you may be entitled to compensation. Please PM Special Ed with the details of the accident.

Special Ed- Does a pec tear that required surgery and months of physical therapy qualify for a compensation?

I did it while benchpressing.

True...and using too wide of a grip.
