Anyone ever tear a muscle?

Arnold Posts: 1,112 Joined: 2000/11/27	2001/05/22, 02:15 PM Hey guys.. just curious if anyone has had a sever accident. I heard that when you tear your pectoral muscle, it sounds like ripping paper! Ouuuch! I once almost tore my bicep when I was doing strict seated dumbell curls with 70's. It was purple for a week.. kinda scary! .o0 Arnold 0o.

He would get people to put there ear up to it, he would then make a fist and you could hear the muscle making this crunching noise.... The torn muscle is healed now, but it took quite some time, but i think using his arm as a freak show didn't help it heal any faster.

So I won't work my abs nor do any lunging motion for at least 3 weeks. Amr

I had talked to a few pro's not to long ago and I can't remember which one told me that he tore a chest muscle and had to have an operation on it. He was out for a whole year. I hope yours isn't that bad but be sure to rest it so you don't do more damage from what I hear it is very painful. Take care.
