What causes pectoral tears?

[JK]

Greg Kovacs repped that much

As far as I know, Greg only did the incline Smith machine.

Ruptured my bicep tendon removing the door pad on a truck.

I tore my bicep lifting a welding machine into a shipping container. There was like an iron loop at the end and I pulled with one finger, using the hand I supinate on deads. I mean I've held almost 1K on a very short rack dead with a mixed grip with no tears. I must have slightly bended the arm. Docs didn't want to operate but I insisted and I'm extremely glad I did, otherwise there would be zero bicep left (already had very small and short bis).

His reaction to his first life experience between 1-2 mins is interesting.

After that it shows the bruise on his bicep and explains from there.

Sounds like his HMO is giving him the run-around with the referral and approvals gambits.

kinda, kinda, kinda, kinda, kinda..


Fucks sake I fucking hate that shit.

There is NEVER any need to say "kinda" or "kind of" when you are talking.

Next time you hear someone say it replay what they said and omit the "kinda/kind of" and you will see its not needed.

my guess is he made the pec crossover pulley with a single pulley.

There is a good reason they are made with double pulleys. The returning force is very hard on a single pulley.

Feel the difference between a single pulley and a double pulley you will understand why it will tear pecs

see.

This fella repeats a certain word a little excessively. I feel for the interrogators, I would have went insane. His speech should be illegal, I don't know how any girl could stand it.

I'm taking a break from benching and focusing on dips and push-ups, no extra weight added, just bodyweight.

[wes]

see. 

LOL

Here's a great discussion on why tendons tears usually occurs

[Lartinos]

At the very end of the pec tear video he says what absolutely shouldn’t done if they tear your pec.

It’s basically everything Wood Hankins does..

I tore my first tendon after training and powerlifting for 45 years.  About 2 months ago I was having some tendonitis in his R elbow. I would get some burning in my elbow with pressing and extension exercises. I dropped the weight down a lot and warmed up really good and that usually worked of me. 2 months ago I did chest and triceps on Friday. It was burning in my elbow so I went light and had a ok workout.  Saturday morning I went to press myself up with one arm while laying prone and I heard a loud rip. My arm gave out on me. I could not extend my R arm.  I knew I tore it, could see it.  Had the MRI and was a complete tear.  Had it repaired the next week.  Was in a cast for 1 week followed by a brace with my ROM limited for 7 weeks. They removed the brace the brace a week ago.  I now have full ROM but damn my tricep it weak of course. I went back to the gym 3 days after my surgery and trained my left upper body and legs.  That really helped me keep a lot of my size on my R.  The dr was amazed.  Had a good week this week rehab in the gym.  Point of this long post.  Listen to your body talking to you and it appears you get good overflow training one side of your body.

Yes and tendonitis/ inflammation and can get chronic if you don't ease up and start rehab work.

I had tendonitis in my patellar tendon. Tore it tripping in a flight of stairs putting the foot down after a long fall really hard on concrete floor. Pretty damn embarrassing.. I think if It wasn't inflamed it wouldn't tear from that. But maybe...

It's been a year now and I'm back now squatting have progressed up to 270 deep squats for many reps. Eventually I want to go back to 315 but we'll see. I get good stimulation from just 270. I'm pretty happy how well the recovery went but I did alot of rehab, from day one every day for 6 months

I think a lot of times you think if I hadn't done this or that on that day I wouldn't have had a tear but I think also a lot of times something was hanging by a thread and it would have have happened eventually anyway because there was trauma there you were unaware of.

Regarding rehab, I've written about it before, but after I had surgery for my bicep tear, at 12 weeks post-op I met the surgeon and he sort of got mad at me when I said I'm carefully rehabbing with low to moderate weights. He said I should be at max weights by now, "we want you back 100% like you were before. Just don't yank it but load heavy." I can see his point but on the other hand at some point you may sort of be too strong for your tendons

Agreed.
