Said on Sirius XM today that full range of motion has returned and he's benching a 10 pound dumbell. Confirmed he hasn't lost any muscle mass(which I posted in my earlier update) and will be ready in about 5 weeks.
Just a quick question, how does one prevent loss of muscle mass when suffering an injury such as this? With a tear, I assume he was restricted from any heavy-lifted in the chest. What prevents muscle atrophy?

Never had any muscle mass to begin with?
They use muscle stimulator

he will lose a little I'm sure... But you don't lose a ton in just a few months. for a guy that's been building it for years.

This^ Range of motion is the most important, then easing back into powerful contraction. I'd be willing to guess that his physical therapist is having him do plenty of work in the pool. That alone will keep him toned while not shocking the affected part in a ballistic fashion.
