All I got for Christmas was...
 

...a torn pectoral muscle

I was benching on Christmas eve. I was just doing normal sets with nothing heavy. On the 3rd rep of my 4th set, I just felt / heard a loud pop and a really weird numb tingle.

I went to the ER on the advice of the EMTs onsite. The ER just took some X rays to confirm that it wasn't broken or dislocated and they sent me on my way.

I have a feeling it is a complete detachment of my pectoralis minor.

As you can see, there is a hole now where muscle used to be. The really weird thing is that it doesn't hurt and I have pretty much full functionality. It just feels "fat"...I guess it's from the swelling and the dangling muscle.

I REALLY hope I don't need surgery for this. I have a 4 week old at home and I have to take care of him.

Anyway, I guess the moral of the story is that your muscles can just detach and explode for no real reason.

Also, Alex Smith sucks. So does Eric Fisher.

****, man. And I was feeling bad about having the stomach flu.

That shit will buff out!

Gawd! That looks like it hurts so good!

I hydro-planed on a wet shiny tile floor for a bad fall. Have to see a doctor too.

That bruised biceps looks awful! I hope it isn't too serious.

I always pictured you as a fat guy loochy.

You're ripped.

no veins?

I'm sure it's rather serious. In that first picture, do you see the hole in my armpit where the skin looks all flappy? That used to be covered by a muscle. I should have taken a picture so you can see the other side for comparison

He meant I'm ripped - literally.

I sure hope you've completed your 500 pushups and 500 situps already. Otherwise, you're out.

Thats a sexy bathroom.

Aren't your pectoral muscles (minor and major) in your chest? Why is your bicep bruised?

sorry bro...that's gotta suck.

Rub some Tussin on it.

his wife gives great hickey.

I'm assuming that when it blew out of his chest it snapped around and hit his arm. Kind of like when the belt blows out on some big industrial machinery.

The tendon connects to the upper humereus. The bruising happens lower on the arm because gravity pulls the fluids downward. The bleeding only happens on the arm part because that's where the blood vessels are. The actual pec muscle is probably intact....it's just detached.

Were you fapping to that cheerleader thread I put up a few days ago????

That's got to be the sexiest torn pectoral I've seen in at least three weeks.

Do you even know how to lift, bro?

FYP.

God damn. And I am about to do chest day in a few minutes. Now I'm going to be thinking about this the entire time.

you aren't helping. looch likes to be the jokemeister.

i'm sorry to hear that man. Do whats best for your body

surprised they didn't do an MRI?

Sounds Spleened....Have a quick recovery.

The ER just wanted to make sure I wasn't going to die or anything. They referred me to an orthopedic doc, who will almost certainly order an MRI.

Quit your crying. I wish I had gotten a bruised bicep.

You wanna know what I got for Christmas from the girlfriend and her two kids ?
I got two T-shirts and a piece of ass.







And all three of them were two sizes to big.









(My annual Christmas joke):D

If you want to start a prayer thread I will post in it.

I once tore a vagina but never a pectoral muscle.

Wish you a quick recovery so you may fap again.

More fapping and less lifting!

Rub some dirt on it and get back in there

Man that sucks. If it makes you feel better I dropped 225 on my chest Christmas Eve. Went on to bench 275 3 times and the pain got to be to much. Still to sore to lift. Wish you a speedy recovery.

And yet Alex Smith lives...

As tribute, someone should make an unfunny parody thread.

That suck dude, injuries are the worst.

How much weight?

About tree-fiddy?

I was only working with 205 and it was like my 4th set. I was well warmed up and there was no hint of anything going wrong.

Sounds like it probably going happen sooner or later.

Hope you get better soon.

Inb4 he can still throw a ball further downfield with that arm than Smith.

The jaundice seems like a bigger issue to me.

Really just bam it happened? That's kind of scary I lift without a direct spotter at least twice a week.

Yeah, on the downward part of the 3rd rep it ppopped. Luckily I didn't have collars on the bar so the weightsjust dumped on the floor.

Most guys who tear pec muscles have no idea it's coming and it's usually with sub-maximal weight. Scary shit. Probably my worst nightmare.

Heal up Loochy. CP needs you.

Shut up bitch, you don't even lift.

DO YOU EVEN LIFT?!?!?!
