This has got me a little scared

[The Dude]

Thanks, I will

solid, I bench like a bodybuilder, chest out, elbows tucked in

Umm, that's like a powerlifter really. BB is with the elbows out either with back arched or flat (depending upon who is dispensing their "wisdom").

no bruising that I can see, bad time for a lay off though, I start clomid in 2 days, I think maybe I'll take an extra day of rest and train chest on monday, if it still hurts after 4 nights sleep then I'll have to get it looked at

clomid?? what was your cycle? sometimes when ending AS cycles you must lower the intensity of workouts so that you can keep strenght and mass gains (depending on the AS used). If you were on cycle consider recovering otherwise you are on the edge of loosing your gains.

I had the same stuff happen to me. A slight tear in the pec/shoulder attachment (might also be the bicep tendon).

What I did was stop all pushing movements and focus on lat/back work. It took about a month or so to heal completely.

i did 7 weeks of bulking with enth and fina, then 6 weeks of cutting with prop and winny, last shot was today so I'll start clomid on Sun. I could feeling a strain there when I was squatting today as well, so I think I'll train lighter for a bit, but up the intensity to compensate

I'm pretty sure there would be bruising if the muscle tore, get it checked out if it doesn't get better within the next week.

For those of you, and I know you're out there, that spent the past week worrying about my busted pec, I think I'm out of the woods. I benched today, dropped 40lbs off my working weight and upped the reps, so did sets of 8 reps on 275, I could feel it pulling a bit but nothing ripped/tore so I think I'm okay. Still not totally sure what it is, but it's still attached so it's all good!!!

Maybe it was cramp?

 

[b fold the truth]

Good luck...I"d back off the weight for a few weeks...and make darn sure that your form is perfect.

No, I know it wasn't that as the pain was still there 3 days later when I was doing weighted dips for tri's, that's why I was worried.

B, that's why I dropped the weight and upped the reps a bit. My form was probably some of the best I've ever done as the negatives were super slow and I was really concentrating on keeping it smooth.
