Chest Pain

[dirtydawg]

any of you guys on the ws routine ever have chest sorness all the time. i have been training ws for 8 weeks and the first week the routine was a piece of cake now my damn chest never fully recovers. and the sore point is right in the middle deep middle chest and no it is not an injury just sorness. is this common or is this a sign of overtraining? i am stronger and bigger than i have ever been and some of my friends accuse me of being on the gear. hell if i was my recovery would be great and my strength would be a hell of alot more. i will say this WS is working better than anything i have ever tried but it is very hard on the body. am i doing something wrong? or just being a pussy?

Pain doesnt mean anything, but a little pain in powerlifting. Stretch at home and warm up good before you start. Its like if you lift a cow up everyday from the time its born when its grown you should still be able to lift it. With strength you dont need the recovery time bodybuilders need. Just push through it bro. If it gets un barable and that bad put more days between the ME and the speed if you must.

is that really true about the cow thing?

I dont know i just through that in but it sounds logical. The point was, the more you lift and consistantly you have to get stronger.

i always work through it its just the in between time that makes me irratiable. ME day is on monday speed day is on friday i could take a week off from the gym and it would get worse or should i say tighter. well not going to bitch too much at least it is not an injury.

Yeah the chest soreness is pretty common in Westside training, you just have to say fuck soreness because it's gonna be there a lot, I get soreness in my chest about every week especially after DE day and you should embrace it b/c your chest seems to be growing
