guy how long does it take to recover from a pull muscle?? It's been three week and it's just now feeling better. And how can I tell if I ripped something?

Personally,as soon as i feel something is not right(not to be confused with soreness from a heavy workout),i go straight to my physio,sometimes paying for a couple of sessions to find out exactly what you've done and how to prevent it happening again,and get it treated is well worth the pennies.Rest may ease the pain itself but from my own experience you could walk back in the gym lift a weight and your back to square one.

I just call the wife and asked her to make a Doctor appointment for me. I hope I don't have to hear those words, "yes you tore it" or "six months off". I just cant stand the feeling of fire shooting up my arm, it sucks big time.
Bro,
A lot of times when you rip or tear a muscle it will bleed out and leave a indentation where it tears. When it bleeds out it will look like a bruise to that area. I have seen pec tears where peoples underarm and stomach will turn blue to black after tearing.
Apply ice to to area 20 minutes on and off and see if it doesn't get better.

Bingo.
Its not a 100% accurate indicator, but its a very sure sign.
If there is no bruising, then I wouldn't worry too much. I've pulled a bunch of muscles.
If its healing in a week, then you're fine. I've had a few (groin, hamstring) that take much longer than that to heal from pulling.
