Pectoralis tear
In the gym the other day and I am benching. Have 245lbs on the bar and while pressing up I feel in my left pec what can only be described as a rope quickly coming apart under stress. Yell to spotter to take the weight and immediately grab an ice pack from trainers. ER doc states (without MRI) that after checking range of motion and strength he believes left pectoralis major tear. The minor is fine and the tear in major is not complete. Awaiting appointment with Ortho this week.
My question is not of treatment but recovery. Has anyone had a similar injury, what was your recovery time length, and did you do anything different [unique] to strengthen the muscle?
