Physique Champ Jeremy Buendia Undergoes Surgery For Torn Pec, Recovery Time 4 Months

Jeremy Buendia Has Done Pec Tear Surgery.

Bodybuilding workouts can be an exceptionally tough task. While the uneducated may simply look at the endeavor as just lifting things up and putting it down, there are intricate details in training that can mean the difference between a successful workout session and a tremendous amount of pain. The fear of injury is a constant in any athletic endeavor, yet there’s a difference between performing in competition and training the body in the gym. Lifting weights are apart of most strength and conditioning programs, so even if you weren’t trying to build up the body, injury from weightlifting is always a worry.

Recently 4x Men’s Physique Olympia champion Jeremy Buendia tweaked his shoulder and his injury could actually affect his career. According to a post on his official Instagram Jeremy says:

“He tore it a few weeks ago and was unaware how bad it was… Saw a doctor and he confirms he needs surgery, recovery time 4 months…”

It seems that the injury was serious enough to garner pec surgery and so Jeremy Buendia found himself under the knife during his offseason.

Fortunately for him, the surgery was a complete success, and the King of Men’s Physique flexing 20 minutes after his pec surgery:

“Appreciate the prayers! Surgery went well! I’ll be back in no time, thank you to everybody who reached out. Means a lot to me.”
