Sorry man I’ve not heard of either of those. I know quanta do send abroad.
I know Quanta and Rohm are pretty best. Actually sourcing them is the problem unfortunately

Defo don’t worry too much , these things heal fast ! Get the work in daily so your flooding it with blood and it will heal fast
The rehab goes great so far. I’m already doing unilateral pulldowns with 25kg again. I will start training the push part of my normal upper day tomorrow. I already tried super light bench pressing with 50kg and it felt pretty good. Just feels a little tight at the bottom from the bench pushing into the injured part of my arm.

Hiya Johannes.
Jordan and Peter make some good points. Injuries are tricky to work around but don’t let this get you down. Keep in mind with most tears you’ll have inflammation and discomfort in that area for some time (person and injury dependant) so let that come down a little and assess what range of motion you can achieve as well as what movements cause you pain and what doesn’t. You’ll absolutely feel less shit when that initial inflammation comes down. Feeling pain is great feedback to listen to so you can decipher when it’s time to push and when it’s time to step back. As Jordan and Peter said, let pain be your guide! With a tear, if you feel any pain above a 3/10 threshold I’d say it’s time to stop or pull back. That’s pretty fluffy but it’s something that may help guide you.
As for doing your other sessions, take the rest of this week to feel it out. See what you’re capable of with little to no pain. After a week you’ll have a lot more information on your capabilities right now and will likely feel a little more capable in your situation. Hopefully rehab goes well and let us know how you get on 👍🏼
Thank you for the kind words. The injury and my overall mental state is already a lot better today. I’m back at doing light unilateral pulldowns. Feels a bit tight but no real pain. I will probably need to stick to more isolation based exercises like this for a while. Which is honestly incredibly annoying since I love weighted pull ups. At least I have a good excuse now to up my bench press frequency I guess lol

Defo teres IMo or possibly lat – I have done the exact same thing jumping up to a pull up bar before.
I just did everything that didnt cause it any pain – was fine in 2 weeks – your bruising is a little worse than mine but let pain be your guide
My theory is that my teres got overused due to my left lat not fully engaging. I always had a hard time feeling my left lat working. It happened at the bottom of my first weighted pull up warm up with 15kg. Which is honestly really weird considering my usual weighted pull up form. I always try to pause for 1-2 seconds at the bottom to let everything stretch out. You would think that my body would have gotten used to this type of loading by now lol. It already feels a lot better. I just did a few light sets with 20kg on unilateral pulldowns. It will probably take some time until I’m back at chins again. Getting over the mental barrier of doing pull ups again is going to be a long process by itself

You can train anything that causes no pain
When I tore my lat , much like this , I did all my other work and my good lat side work as normal and got straight to work on rehab daily , single arm pulldowns cable pin 1 when in the gym , very light band when at home , daily progress until it becomes work again , won’t take long to heal at all
I just had a look and the bruising got a bit worse. I still experience a little pain when doing a pullover motion, especially at peak contraction. I’m worried about rushing things and doing even more damage. It’s also hard to tell which muscle is actually affected. I’m starting to think it was the actual triceps longhead. Do you think I should maybe give it another day just in case? I will attach a more recent photo. I can’t even put into words how bad this thing affects me mentally. I just started getting into a surplus and training went great. Training is literally the only thing I have that makes me get through the day

I would love to know too

Hey man! Definitely looks like you’ll be hitting a lot of lower pec and Tricep here! Looks cool though!
The bench is on a slight decline to bias the lower pec a bit more. I also plan on using it as my tricep compound since I can change the resistance profile to overload the lockout. The handle width can also be narrowed a bit
-
I agree with Andy , grip Lois a bit too narrow, but that’s to the naked eye.
The most important question is how does it feel ? Do you feel you are biasing your chest when you press ?
It actually feels pretty good. I’m just not sure if it will feel even better with a slightly wider arm path
-
The only way to really be sure is to get bloods. Definitely sounds like you’re having high e2 sides. Either that or your gear is fake and you’re basically off cycle. I also wouldn’t start with arimidex, that’s like hunting deer with a rocket launcher

Change the exercise, but keep an eye on the shoulder pain if you notice it interfering with anything else like rich said add in some mobility

Appreciate your input, I started doing a small mobility routine every morning and my shoulders already feel better. Hope it stays that way

Weighted dips even with a healthy shoulder should be rotated after 8–12 weeks as they are harsh on the shoulder . Rotator cuffs mostly.
Swap them to floor press as the floor will provide a better stability profile. And things that are meant to be still will stay still . You can also use counter force by driving into the floor.
Last but not least , nothing is worth training in pain ._________________________________________

Thanks for taking your time to reply, I will definitely take them out then. Limiting long term progress just isn’t worth it.

If ab exercise doesn’t fit for you or hurt you just skip it and switch to another one
Thanks for the help. Means a lot coming from you, big fan of yours

Hi mate
I genuinely don’t think any one movement is worth injury, be it acute or chronic.
I would look for a different variation, but also keep close attention paid to your shoulder. Is it aggravated by anything else? Is it an early warning sign to start doing some mobility/prehab work if they’re not already part of your programme?
Don’t be a hero with it mate, not when there’s no need.Thanks for the advice. I really appreciate it. I never really had any problems with my shoulders (except when I was using a fuck ton of Anadrol and got my flat barbell bench up from 120 for 5 to 160 for 10). But since then I’m much smarter when it comes to managing fatigue. [/quote]
Looks like I will have to simply remove this exercise from my rotation. Maybe add some chains to my football bar press to recruit the tricep more. -
