then 100 pound dumbell shrugs for 25 reps and held them for awhile after, that was the grip workout

go ice this pec, maybe do some very light intensity agility drills

lay low off the pec, if you just have to do pressing, do ohp.

be smart, and take care bud, your going to do great, remember zimmerman is only a man, with flesh and blood and weaknesses, just like all of us.

I would use Icy hot instead of Ice, you want the muscle not to contract any more and tear. Also I would still bench but go for light sets and go easy, more to maintain strength than increase it. All those fast sets are going to be tough on your joints due to the speed, that is why I like chains, smooth movement with no need to increase speed, the weight does it for you.
