Man, that sucks! I would imagine squats would be outa the question with a torn pec. I'd just try to hit a bunch of leg presses, leg extensions, leg curls, calf raises and that sort of thing. I wouldn't do any deads either, I know Brent Howard (Sgt. Rock) tore his pec doin deads once. Good luck with it man, hope ya heal up quickly!

Thanks bro. Injuries are so phucking frustrating and what is worse about this one is I normally know what I did wrong to cause it but this one just came out of nowhere (or it appears to have).
DO WHAT KITE SAID. YOU WILL HAVE NICE LEGS AND CALVES THIS SUMMER UNTIL YOU CAN HIT UPPER BODY AGAIN

Bruising started showing up yesterday on upper bicep.
Phucking frustration and depression hit pretty hard this morning. I went to the gym trying not to have too high of expectations. I was doing weight that I could do 30 reps with on the leg press and it aggravated the injury - who knew! After that, my mood plummeted. So I just did cardio.
I'm back to doing many exercises. Can't do anything that requires my arms over my head or any kind of press but am doing about 80% of what I was on everything else. I can't get to heavy on anything right now without aggravating it but it is getting much better. I forget about it, until I do something stupid.
Dang bro, that sucks! I guess I would double up on the legs and step up the cardio. You could seperate quads and adductors from hams and calves and then hit each twice a week. With a torn pec, you are going to be hard pressed to really get out any intensity because you wont be able to grip the handles. So, I'd lower the intenisty and hit them twice a week. That will give you four days. I would personally add stuff like one leg step ups (no weight). These are great for knee strength, balance, ankle strength, the vastus medialus (sp?) and the adductors.
I used to have superhuman powers....until my therapist took them away.
Dude, you want to take it easy and make sure you stretch after each set, and no jerking the weight. I have a minor tear in my upper pec where it ties into the bicep. I waited about a month to bench and as soon as I went with a wide grip, I felt it ripping again, burned just as bad. So I am back where I started. Even when doing squats and leg presses I strain so hard that I tense my pecs and it hurts pretty bad. So I just go with front squats, and leg extensions, it sucks, but the healing will take time I guess.
Your right t-mann my intensity is definitely impacted on all lifts; it is very frustrating.
I have been working out my legs twice a week dividing it up in quads and hammies but I can't really take adavantage of not working out upper because the intensity is lacking. I'm pretty much just maintaining.
I did incline bench 105 last week really really slow and did some really, really light dips, lat pulldowns and flys. I use not even be able to put my arm in those positions without pain - so it is getting much better.
Doc said when it heals and I start working out pecs again I will have to learn to differentiate between the tightness in the muscle that the injury has caused and strain that could cause another injury. So for the next several months I probably just focus on slow, controlled higher reps but hopefully more than 105.
scott, I had some loose muscle still attached to the humerus but mine appears to have been more mid or even lower pec, the way it retracted down into the pec. How long ago did you tear yours?
