Bodybuilder shares update as he leaves hospital after suffering horrendous torn pectoral muscle benching 220kg
A BODYBUILDER has shown his horrendous injury after a 220kg bench press tore and horribly distorted his pectoral muscle.
Ryan ‘Big Rig’ Crowley fears for his career and will certainly be out for months after the training accident in Dubai left him screaming in agony.
But in a way he was lucky – as powerlifter Larry Wheels, and training partner Charlie Johnson were there to help get the weights off him.
Wheels posted a clip of the moment Crowley was left with the right side of his chest bulging out sickeningly.
And as Big Rig left hospital days later, he shared a photo of the incredible deep bruising on and under his arm.
Fans have raised funds to pay for the 23-year-old’s medical bills and he admits he is still in shock.
Crowley posted: “Cannot believe it happened, completely tore my pec tendon off the bone.
I will be having surgery today at 5pm, praying that it gets it shape back and doesn’t ruin the rest of my career In bodybuilding before it’s even started!
“Huge Thank you to everyone for the messages and the support, it truly means the world!
“If you know me you know this has hit me extremely hard, and struggling to deal with it, but let’s get through it and come out the other side stronger!

“PS NEVER HAD SURGERY BEFORE IM SH***ING MYSELF.”
Crowley was on the incline bench press with Wheels at the time of the gruesome accident as they easily lifted 180kg.
But he was them injured when they stepped up by 40kg.
