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.
