On to Phase 2

My plan for the next 4 weeks is to move closer to the powerlifts, hypertrophy work, with strongman finishers.  I'll be doing a lot of upper back work because I feel that's my weakest link.  I saw the doctor today and it looks like I did tear my pectoral muscle in the muscle belly itself and not the tendon, so there's really nothing they can do to fix it.  I'll start slow and just see what happens.  I've come back from 2 biceps tears, 3 disc tears, a torn rotator cuff, sarcoidosis and cancer, so I'm not about to let a pec tear stop me from what I love doing.  To God be the glory!
