Without surgery?

I tore my pec about 14 months ago. Very scary. I did not go to the ER and have rehabed it on my own. This video was very inspiring and promising at that time. Thanks for posting it, and it's great to see your journey. If anyone has just had this injury and is freaking out and looking at the internet trying to figure out what to do, you will be alright. It's probably not a bad idea to see a professional, but you will heal. I dont try to bench heavy or kip into muscle ups any more but I feel great, still train regularly with those small considerations.

You're an inspiration to us all. Hope to see you and the rest of the team again next year.

My example isn't so extreme but the last time I rolled on my ankle I refused to take my anti-inflammatory pills and I walked every day against the recommendations of friends and hospital. I was fine in a week, and couldn't be surer that taking the pills and sitting on my rump would have extended that needlessly.

Anti-inflammatory pills on a sprained ankle is totally useless. Even a cast is, most of the time, not recommended. But it is way more easy ... Physical therapy as soon as possible is the best. You may have well recovered from your injury but your proprioception is probably not as good as your other ankle.

Same goes for broken bones bro, If you don't need to brace the bone to hold it in place than don't get a cast, just put a splint of some sort on your arm and be really careful with it. I've had a lot of broken bones and casts+pills definitely increase recovery time.

And it can be easier to have a physio assess your kinematics and tailor program specifically to you rather than figuring out for yourself. No idea if this is helpful, but good luck man!

This is very inspirational for me since I also have been suffering with an injury for around 1 1/2 years

My favorite video of 2014 !

so instead of having it surgically reattached he instead decided just to strength every other body part to compensate for the loss of muscle power out put his torn pec use to give. that seems . . . out there. if one does not know they tore a pec then no foul but if you know you tore it and do not get it reattached that seems off. nice music though.

xeracorocks Incorrect. We don’t know from watching the video whether or not it was a tendon. You are making an assumption and basing your entire argument on that assumption. Alan Thrall knows what he’s talking about. His low back injury was just a tweak. It wasn’t anything serious. He’s been training long enough to tell the difference.

vraiment incroyable bravo John !!! 💪

Amazing recovery!

I did this about a year ago now and I wanted to transition into doing calisthenics but thought my tendon wouldn’t be able to lift my body weight but though it seems we both have a similar tear and I’m really inspired thank you!!!!

What is interesting is his personal drive to continue and how the body will make adaptations to continue to move. Surgery is always a 50/50 shot from what I have seen. Plus this individual is highly athletic. I would not want many tears though he looks pretty young and the prime of his life.

I did not have surgery either (although I sometimes regret not getting it fixed. It has been a few years and I can do most normal movements, but I don't do dips or gymnastics rings or any heavy chest lifting. I feel some tightness occasionally or a minor tweak. My fear is tearing my shoulder or another head of my pec as they are over-compensating since a tendon is unattached. Props to John and maybe I should push harder!

First few weeks I was doing only leg raises and these easy exercises. I tried to get back ROM, and strengthen my quad. After a month or so, I have been able to walk, ride a bike, and so on. Now it is about 9, 10 weeks after injury, and I started with squats (at about 30-50 kg) and deadlifts (30-50 kg). Also a lot of wall squats, hip thrust (bodyweight), single leg deadlifts etc. I try to ride a bike in the gym every day and walk as much as possible. Surgery is in about 3 months!

It is good thing to strenghten quadriceps. Because you will not recognize your leg after surgery. Atrophy will be start immedeatily. Don't rush with rehabillitation take time . To 3 times a day isometric exercices in begging and A LOT OF ICE ,follow routine excerices.You will be back in 3-4 months but a lot of fear will be mental. So don't worry man in 6-12 months you will be as good as new. Stay strong !

still the most inspirationsla video i have ever seen

This is a reality for any person striving for physical excellence. Kudos on the perseverance. Very inspiring!

Woooooowww... You're IT bro, you're IT.

I got a suggestion...Don't do that much torque on your shoulder and arm. I like the idea of flexible and strong in any direction so you can control your body weight. But, there are directions that the joint was not meant to go and the line between safe and rupture is not respected.

Holy shit, when his pec gave away I've never gotten such a shock feel from watching any clip, not even from the video where a skydiver hits a bridge and goes mincemeat.. OUCH!

Great, collective knowledge out there

Such a great inspiration! WIsh you all the best! I have but one question - what are the exercises from Day 21 (3:20)? Where are they from? Looking really great!

I got in one year 2 times shoulder impingement...now i m on a good way but still i would be interested which shoulder moves are the best for that.. thanks!!!

I would really like to see how Johnny is doing now that 2 years have passed. I have a similar injury but opted out of surgical repair. If the tendon rips off the humerus surgery can repair it with 90% or more success in terms of strength and function returning. My tendon is still attached to my humerus, making it very difficult for surgeons to sew my detached muscle back to the end of the tendon. I was told I might get 60% functional strength back and a new tendon might have to be taken from my achilles and used as a graft. For these reasons I decided not to have surgery and live with the injury. I find this video uplifting as I'm trying to come to terms with the permanent damage I have. Something as simple as a push up is no longer so simple. Hopefully Ido Portal or Johnny can post an update. I'd like to hear him speak on living with his injury and how it has affected his life.

I have dislocated shoulder it is possible to use active recovery for my shoulder?

is the risk from the angle of that position,, from lack of progressive preparation, or from the fatigue at that moment

I guess that, as that part of the pec got "disconnected", it withered away. Could surgery have "saved" it so it were fully functional after some time?

Take a look at the anatomy again and I think you will see that there is a full rupture to the sternal head of the pec major (the clavicular head is rarely torn) . The pec major’s distal attachment is on the humerus and a tear results in bruising consistent to what is seen in the video. The muscle you see popping out appears to be the pec minor.

I believe he's gone from a standard diet to full paleo. In terms of training, he practices various elements of "movements" like parkour, freerunning, gymnastics, and he does some occasional deadlifting, squatting, and olympic lifting.

This teaches the human body and mind are incredible, and if he needed those functions to survive.... he would have kept surviving. But to not get it re-attached is a very, “this is how it is” approach. That’s like walking around without glasses or contacts and accepting hat you’re vision is going bad.

Johnny is the beast, I wish that someday I would train with him.

***** Nice to see someone comment who has come to similar conclusions about fitness. Circus stunts really sums it up. This type of stuff is pretty and impresses all the ladies. It's a good way to show off at the beach shirtless, but is it really fitness? How much carryover to real life situations does this type of training really have? I am 34 myself, trained acrobatics all through my 20's off and on. I got pretty good at hand balancing, but it bothered my wrists a lot. Now I never really do hand stands. I changed my training to running again, I run barefoot and do some basic parkour. I climb, I do a little muaythai, and swim a lot too. And I feel better than ever. No more brute force powering through movements, no more trying to lift HEAVY ass weights, no more trying to perform for anyone, just living life and enjoying staying fit in the outdoors. I can't do muscle ups on rings, I can't stand on one hand, and I can't squat hundreds of pounds, but I can run barefoot on rough terrain, I'm a strong swimmer, and I can defend myself reasonably well if need be. I just wish I gave up trying to impress people at an earlier age and just lived life. Chasing perfection in movement is a fool's errand.
