Ugghhh. That sucks. I have seen something like that happen and it is terrible. I am sure his attitude will change as he heals.

Best wishes to him.

Thanks for posting Will.

It's scary enough when you lose big weight, but with heavy band tension on there too it just flies.

Good luck, Phil.

I am soooo glad that i didn't read this til after my last heavy band tension workout..

injuries suck, luckily almost anything can be healed, i hope he takes enough rest + recovery and over time can slowly get back into lifting.

That sucks to hear... Hopefully as he recovers his attitude towards coming back changes
