Question about possible pec injury?

I posted this on the training board was was told some of the vets over here might be able to help, I'll just cut and paste the original post.

On sunday I was benching. I did a very thorough warmup. Here was what the workout looked like
Flat bench
45lbs x 10
135 x 8
185 x 5
225 x 5
275 x 5
295 x 5
315 x 5
While doing the set on 315 everything felt fine, other than my spotter dripping sweat in my eye. But when I went to hit my next set, I got the bar half way down and it kinda felt like my chest was ripping. I racked it, and tried again at 275, same shit. The pain was in my right pec, around where it ties in to the front delt. It hurt to use, and even hurt if I poked at it, but no bruising or anything. I didn't want to push my luck, so I had my buddy take the pics that I posted, and split. Next day it didn't feel anything out of the ordinary, so I forgot about it.

Today was arms, so I warmed up for weighted dip for tris. When I got to my working weight, the pain from Sunday immediately came back. I did manage 2 heavy sets, but the feeling in my pec spooked me a bit. I'll post the warm up so you can see that I did warm up thoroughly
weighted dips
bodyweight x 10
bodyweight plus 25lbs for 8
bodyweight plus 45lbs for 6
bodyweight plus 90lbs for 5
bodyweight plus 135 (3 plates) this is where the pain hit

So after a hella long post, anyone know what I did? Minor tear?
 
The fact that there isn't any bruising and it doesn't hurt that bad gives me hope that it's not a tear, or maybe just a minor one
