Yesterday I pulled my chest muscle! It hurts like a mother fucker. Everytime I breathe it just fucking hurts. I am taking a shit load of ibuprofen. Can I still lift all my other body parts? I am in my last 3 weeks of my cycle and don't want to stop. Could I just do all my other body parts and be fine? ie back, shoulders, bis, tris, lowerbody. My doc said to stay away from all upper body parts for the next two weeks. Its easy for him to say because he isn't juicin. Let me know if you guys think I should take a breather or what. If I should stop lifting should I continue taking the juice to finish out the cycle? BM IP: Logged |

I would give it at least a week. Do lower. Don't hurt yourself. I would hate to get hurt. I am in my last 3 weeks too. ------------------ IP: Logged |

Listen to your body, bro. If it hurts, don't push it. Definitely stay away from any chest exercises. Back exercises tend to stretch out the chest a little since they are antagonists. You can try some light exercises and see how it feels, but definitely don't push. It is better to loose a couple of weeks of strength gains than to risk a torn pec. I ahad a similar problem 2 weeks ago benching, only not quite as severe as you described it. I couldn't do chest for 2 weeks and was pissed because my strength had been skrocketing during the previous weeks. This was the 7th week of my cycle. I did chest yesterday and it was fine. Now will be a good time to blast your legs. Good luck. IP: Logged |

Be careful with the amount of ibuprofen you take also. I used to practically live on the stuff with all the aches and pains I get, and I ended up developing aseptic meningitis. It wasn't fun. Rotate your anti-inflammatories and analgesics. IP: Logged |

Thanks for the replies guys. I knew most of you would say that but, it just wasn't what I want to hear. After all of that slaving away in the gym I can't stand to just sit around and watch my weights drop. I do have one question though. Should I finish out the cycle or stop now and save the rest of it. All I have left is 1200mg of Deca and 1350 mg of Equipoise. Thanks for the help bros. BM IP: Logged |

sure you didnt crack a rib, hurting while breathing is a sign of this, just something to think about perhaps. IP: Logged |

i had a moderate muscle tear in my left pec about 3 years ago . I ended up taking 3 months off .. it fucking sucked .. it wasnt bad enough to get surgery but it wasnt an overnight thing either . your body will let you know what your capable of and when , as for treatment talk to a professional trainer or physical therapist who is understanding of sports injuries ( i went to a doctor used a couple philly sports teams for my surgical evaluation , and treatment and i am now 110% ). As for your cycle , ide say stay on until you know whats really going on ( the true severity of your injury ) , you may be up and running again in a couple weeks ..... Good Luck and Stay Positive . ------------------ IP: Logged |

Holy shit!!! I had almost the same thing happen to me. I was walking in a crawl space and fell through the fuckin sheetrock. My right pec slammed into the beam as i fell!!! I have a huge bruise on my pec and it hurts like hell. I am about 4 weesk in a cycle too. I tried doing back and had to stop because of the pain Naproxen didn't help at all. I have been working the shit out of my legs. My calves are ripped. I was barely able to do dumbell curls!!! I may resort to shooting a little Nubain just until it goes away!! As far as abs, I couldn't work them really. It hurts like hell. It feels like something is torn but, I see the bruising. IP: Logged |

I wouldn't stop the gear, you'll heal faster than a mofo with it but I would definately take it easy in the gym. ------------------ IP: Logged |
