Hi guys, been body building and crusing and blasting for 3 years. Lost over 100 lbs adn got muscled. Friend insisted I try chest presses. Bad idea. Lifting only 140 (with probably bad form by myself) my right shoulder had intense pain suddenly. Went home and thought fuck it..Im not hurt! So tried a few push ups...heard a LOUD snap in right shoulder and immediately the arm collapsed. Can use it, hurts like hell though. MRI yest showed complete tear adn have me scheduled for ortho appt and probable surgery. Got insurance ,but am freaking out about losing it all esp at my age.

Any suggestions guys, other than going to lower body adn treadmilling? Anyone rec. any particular steroid or HGH that might help? I take Proviron, test e about 600 a week adn arimidex. Have taken HGH for about 6 months, but none for a few months cause I can't afford it.

What could I take to assist with the healing after surgery? I guess my body is reminding me I am not 30...crap. I felt like it though the past 3 years! And wife on BioIdentical Hormones past three months, I am surprised I did not "tear" something else....

2 weeks later: Saw Shoulder Guru for this remote African village in NE Texas. He wants me to do 5 weeks for rehap, gave me cortisone shot (actually helped) and said come back in 5 weeks and I will fix it if it still hurts. He is a lifter himself and told me under no uncertain terms that he does not want me to stop lifting, but to go to cable weights and always keep my hands where I can see them to avoid undue pressure on rot cuffs
