Will do. My entire upper arm is now bruised purple and its creaping down my forearm. there is also not alot left of my chest and side under my armpit that isn't purple either. I don't want to keep adding pics though as its a bit samey. Its very strange to touch, if I press it with my nail its a sharp pain like pins and needles or like someone pulling hairs out. Apart from that the swelling seems to be lessening slightly and althouggh movement is still very restricted it is marginally better. I'm having this week off the gym and next week I'm going back to train legs. I think I might start on some cardio too and use this set back to do something constructive. Try and get rid of my smooth look.

Painful

As said its all relative. We all go to the gym to get stronger and better our weights so it could happen at whatever weight you are lifting. Alot of the reports on the net say that people have done it at 60-70% of their maximum lift. I have been training on and off 15 years and its the first serious injury I have sustained. Could be old age or me just pushing myself far too much. I really don't know and therefore I dont know that if I recover I wont do it again.

Benni, how are the antibiotics working mate?
