Pec Tear - Sternal and Clavicular Head Detachment

Just finished benching 405x5 as raw warmup then 650x3 in shirt. Then 3 sets of dips and flys on rings. Then had brilliant idea to attempt a full iron cross with no prior progression towards it.

@evilsny they put in 3 titanium studs to tie them back to the bone. since it was tendon to bone there wasn't really any pain.

be careful with that man. If you get the surgery (orthoscopic bankarts repair), it should prevent further dislocations. Unfortunately, the surgery wont be able to withstain the kinds of heavy lifts you've been doing (I do MMA and just got my second bankart repair; learned the 'weight limit' thing the hard way)..

It's a sad thought that you wont ever lift as heavy again, but at least you're not 21 years old like me. If you dont get surgery, you risk it coming out again and again, easier & easier

@bigfatcox Surgery was to reattache the tendons that tore off the bone. Shoulder went back on its own but tore two heads of the pec off.
