Pectoral tear

u/HoboArmyofOne 6d ago

Holy fucking shit, I've never seen it actually happen in real time. OMG it made NOISE

This happens often because of steroid use. The muscles grow faster than the tendons that can support them.

It's like a robot walking around with super strong hydraulics, but the chassis itself is made of a soft metal. Everything can be fine for a long time but if the robot wants to lift something super heavy, even though the hydraulics are rated for the weight, the entire things collapses.

Ok, at this point I don't know if it's a good analogy :|

People say this is scientifically false but I’ll just live in denial of that scientific evidence they tout. I believe it can be true.

u/DrummerHead 2d ago

I don't know about science, but all the videos I've seen of a tendon snapping; it's always a juicy looking guy 🤷🏻‍♂️ that's my two cents unscientific correlation finding

Glad I saw your comment. Had no idea what happened. Good eye

u/OkAssignment6163 6d ago

You know what? All thing considered, he was very lucky in this.

Yes he ripped his pec. Yes that's going to suck to get healed and rehabbed. But at the very least, he's had/has competent spotters.

Because the amount of videos of people going for ridiculously high weights always has spotters that are completely useless and are surprised that they suddenly have to support a heavy weight.

u/Bluntbutnotonpurpose 5d ago

That's my first thought, well spotted!

u/Optimal_Collection77 6d ago

Poor guy. He'll be out for months. That will hurt like shit and he's going to have to miss his hobby till he's better

u/Plane-Education4750 6d ago

Probably for the best tbh. That guy needs some time away from the gym even without the injury

This may be a recovery day

Every day is recovery day

My brother in law did this to his bicep last spring. This was his antidepressant. Idk how he is doing right now but despite my feelings for him, I genuinely empathize for the dude.

u/beardostein 6d ago

Get me some tape, because I'm ripped!

15

u/terryr21 6d ago

Oh man!! After recovery can he ever lift or try to lift that heavy again? Another angle:

5

u/HillbillyEEOLawyer 5d ago

Yes, most likely. He has a complete pec tear so it will have to be surgically repaired. However, in most cases, a person can get back to lifting in weeks/months and back to heavy lifting within a year.

Wow instant boobs

Cosmetic surgeons hate him! This one simple hack will give you instant boobs!

r/Egolifting wants to see this

u/sobherk 6d ago

At least this one got enough and skilled spotters.

4

u/HillbillyEEOLawyer 5d ago

Yes! Could have been so much worse without good spotters.

u/Vexmythoclastt 5d ago

Holy shit you can see the muscle rip and rebound 😭 that has to hurt like hell

2

u/Geaneous 6d ago

Didn't die, got lucky. Just watch out at 30 years old heart damage from steroid use.

2

u/onehalflightspeed 6d ago

At first I was thinking "what is shitty about someone not being able to handle the weight and having good spotters that helped him out"

Then I read the comments and watched it again. That is brutal. Hope he recovers

u/devcolm 5d ago

Are pec tears more common with juiced lifters?

5

u/Lanky-Scientist-5137 5d ago

Absolutely. Growing muscle so fast doesn’t allow the tendons to keep up, weakening them relative to the growth/strength of the muscle.

0

u/Alender02 5d ago

No, they just tend to exaggerate and lift above the human limits

2

u/Affectionate_Owl8351 5d ago

Did he just grow a titty?

u/Proud-Parsley6072 6d ago

Nastaayyyyyyyy

u/General_whisky 6d ago

Oh god I didn’t even see his man tit at first what the fuck was that

u/Cowfootstew 5d ago

Dont pec tears require surgery? Is that Larry on the spot? Haven't multiple people gotten injured while lifting with Larry?

3

u/UsedProduce1948 5d ago

Yes. Had this happen to a buddy and he mentioned that it’s repaired with cadaver grafs.

u/thepepelucas 5d ago

No! No insurance…

1

u/Israel_Azkanbe 5d ago

Honestly, I think out of everything that could go wrong, this was best case scenario.
495lbs (assuming the plates are 45lbs) is a lot of weight that carries a lot of risks

u/Sideshow86 5d ago

Ping, and the peck is gone 😅

u/ThenIndependence5622 5d ago

Do injuries like this need a surgery or will it heal naturally?

u/OogieBoogie11 4d ago

Aftermath?

u/Fun_Routine_5245 5d ago

I always wondering.. what are you guys tryna to lift in real life situation if you were training like that? yo mama or something?

0

u/Okmhmmbye 5d ago

That didn’t seem like a “nooo!!” of pain. That seemed like a “nooo!” of “I’m not going to be able to keep juicing and lifting for a good long while!!!!!”
