Hi from Whangaparaoa

Hi all,

Male 36 - Ive been training 10 or so years but have recently moved to Powerlifting.

Did'nt even 'think' that there would be a local forum, so am stoked Ive found it.

Incidentallly, ripped my left Pec this morning at on a heavy Bench Press and am now strapped up to the hilt - not stoked considering Ive only just got over a back injury...is there a pattern here?....

Looking forward to chatting with ya'all.

Welcome, bummer about your injuries :shock: Hope you heal fast. My best mate lives in Whangaparoa, went there a couple weeks back myself

Hey Ingbdr,

Welcome to the Board.

Sorry to hear about the Pec, just after the back injury.

The only pattern might be dropping the reps upping the weight before your tendon strength is up to speed. But you have been training for a while so could be right off track :shrug:

Hi Lngbdr. Good to have you here, but bad timing with the injury. As if the pec tear wasn't bad enough by itself, now you'll be able to watch us all training hard, just to rub it in.

buggar ,pec tear! bad? surgery required?

[lngbdr]

thanks everyone - nice ppl here!

No surgery reqd as im getting ultrasonic or whatever treatment everyday instead.

3 tears (heard them all), and I NEVER want to hear that gawdawful sound again - absolutely hideous.....

like a ripping sound? heard bad ones are like a bang! so its not serious enough to require surgery? will it repair itself with out it? hope i never get one,always worries me though.

[lngbdr]

yep it ripped alright - dont think I'll ever get the sound out of my head...

Physio again tomorrow

a friend fully tore his off the shoulder and it went bang. had to have surgery,looks ok now. i think with the tears the sooner its gets fixed the better.
