I'm thankful I didn't get it this bad. The pop-and-tear feeling was there, but short: I stopped right away. Visible bruising was only at the pain site, very minor, and already gone. Gave me a good scare.
I've been following Doc Morris's advice as well as I can with only squatting 4/wk; I'm 10 days post-injury and have gone from a 45lb squat with pain to a 245 squat without. I'd be back at it today but I'm attending the SS Seminar tomorrow so I'm going to give it a rest so I can squat on platform tomorrow.
I know the Starr method has you back to full weight in 2 weeks; right now I'm on track to be there in 3, which is more a function of me not being able to get at it as often as I'd like, than it is a function of the rehab.
