Yeah for sure has to be something else. If you don’t exercise regularly and you’re not fat, then your Achilles shouldn’t just tear like that. I know seed oils cause inflammation and are linked to the rise of injuries like acl and achilles tears. Pretty depressing, tell him to stop eating seed oils because they’re making his body weak.

Eats like shit. And works a ton.
This was a fluke thing I think but good feedback.
Torn Achilles happen. It happens to the most supreme athletes on the planet. Usually a freak accident when there is a sudden quick change in direction.
It makes sense when it happens to supreme athletes because they have abnormal masses of muscle that we didn’t evolve to handle on average ligaments. Remember you can grow muscles but can’t grow your achilles, acl, etch. They also extensively strain their joints and body repeatedly. But an ordinary person who isn’t fat and does not have strained ligaments shouldn’t tear his achilles by just running like that. Holy shit we would’ve gone extinct if we were that fragile lmao
My Achilles snapped in a situation with a quick change of direction playing sports. Sounds similar to SatsMcd mechanic scenario where you are reacting quicker than your body is able to keep up. It’s not going to be 3 weeks though to recover if it is a torn Achilles. More like 9 months to a year.
And you likely won’t ever be the same again. Unfortunate. Sorry to hear that.
