Last saturday I competed in the 2nd Annual Team Metro Push/Pull. On my final bench attempt I tore my right pec. MRI showed a clean tear across the tendon and surgery is scheduled for tuesday morning.
In retrospect I did SEVERAL things contributing to the injury:
1- 4 days before the meet i was 212lbs but signed up to lift in the 198's,the day of the weigh-in i was 207lbs at 5am......by 7pm i made the 198 weigh-in. I had my last meal thursday night and didnt eat or drink all day friday until after the weigh-in. I also made use of steam rooms and saunas to dehydrate the sh** out of my self.
2-i took off about 3 months from any kind of exercise and started training again in May. Once i started eating and training again my body just soaked it up and i gained a ton of size/strength real fast....i didnt give myself any time to consolidate the gains.
3-i decided to do the meet 4 weeks before it was scheduled....
i realize that the rehab from pec repair and is long and arduous. I feel bad for the inconvenience it will put my family thru..including a trip the big island we had scheduled for next wednesday-saturday. we cancelled.
if anybody has had this surgery feel free to offer your perspective
