Bro's,

Today was chest day. Was doing flat bench.
1 135x10
2 225x10
3 275x8
4 315x8
5 365x8 (3sets)On the 4th rep of that set, while bringing the weight down. My right pec, about 3" under the arm pit straight down, began to hurt like a MF. I put the weight up but felt the muscle sort of crackle on the way up. I stopped lifting, got some ice and came home. There is no noticable difference in my pecs, no swelling, but a great deal of pain in the area when I try and lift my arm up, but there is no loss of motion. My hope is I've only torn a few fibers, not done anything serious. Any input or experiences like this would be welcome. Thanks. . .

definitely have it checked, sounds like you tore a few fibers, but nothing too major. If it crackled than it probably tore. But if you've still got range of motion it's no biggie, just lay off the big bench for awhile bro. Take it from someone who had a full blown pec tear.

Bro,

Sounds like you have done the same thing i did last year, that was tear a rib cartlidge.
Just get some Voltaren cream, rub it in 4 times a day, and lay of chest workouts for around 3 weeks, or till it feels better.

Thanks bro's. Spoke with my old man, he's an internest, not an ortho, but he had basically the same advice. Ice today and tomorrow. Heat after that. He said it was a few fibers, go light in about a week and build back up. No heavy for a month and stretch. He also said if it was a serious tear of complete rip I would know and it would be black and blue already. Its not but it hurts like a MF. I appreciate the advice and thanks Bro's. PS. Don't tell the old man about the AS. . .LOL
