Please help me loosen my tight pecs

[InTraining]

I don't have any chest\back strength imbalances or anything like that...I do rotator exercises..keep the external rotators strong etc....

I get sternal pain on certain exercises though(dips, close grip bench) which I think is related to a tightness in my pecs...

What should I do to fix this?

Yeh I try to as much as possible...wall stretches don't really do too much for me...so I do one where you put your hands behind your head and lean back...

Says I have to spread around the karma a bit...

do you do the doorway pec stretch

Oops..by wall stretch I meant door stretch...

Yes..I have tried it...but not much relief and I don't really feel like it is doing anything...

Anyone got a link of how to do it correctly? I have googled stuff before and come up with very little...
