Guess I shouldn't have left my doc thing hanging there on my last post. Basically I'm probably done training. I have 2 tears in my pec major in the area that wraps around my tendon. This is extremely close to my first repair surgery. During my first surgery, due to scare tissue, my tendon was shortened by 'x' amount of mm's. This minute 'adjustement' has overly stretched my pec and will probably take several years to naturally correct. This combined with scar tissue in the pec major from the first time leaves very little to sew to. So my doc gave me 3 choices. The first was to go under the knife again, stay in a sling for 4 weeks, go through the 8 wk rehab again and start over again. He gives this option about a 60% chance of succeeding. Second option is to just let it try to heal naturally in 6 to 8 weeks. He gives this about a 40% chance of me being normal again. Third choice, same as second choice but give up lifting and move on without any issues later in life. So who knows. I'm not making a living from body building and I really hate the thought of another operation and most of all can not stand the thought of not being able to ruff house with my son.....this all leads me to think maybe I should find another hobby. I'm going to take a month off and travel Europe again in December and see what my mood is when I come back. BPP     | ||

Bro i think we're all destroying out bodies and it will take it's toll on us all one day. I think it's a good decision to take it easy, doenst' mean you have to stop training, just stop bbing. Take it easy and enjoy life with your son. Ok fantom, that chick is incredible!!!!! ------------------ |
