What did I do to deserve this?

[AinteasybeingDiesie]

I was doing decline presses 2 nights ago. I did one warm up set of 21 with 45's then a set of 12 with 315 with ease feeling stong. I usually go up to 365 but because I did 12 reps so easy I threw on 405.

On the 3rd rep I hung it up cause I felt a scary pain where the pec attaches to into my delt area in the armpit. Not so bad, no popping, I even 3 sets of overheads after to try & stretch the pecs out. which might have been a bad idea. I went home and iced it the rest of the night & put icy hot before bed.

anyway 2 day's later and it hurts more then 2 days ago. I can move my arm I can flex my chest but not all the way and it burns the injury like hell. I can lift my arm out but pulling it back is what really hurts.

anyone familiar. am I fubared! how long till this shit heals? damn, advice please!!!!!!!!

Go see your doctor bro!!

Anybody ever just rip the pec a little bit like a strain or something. I dont think this needs to be operated on, so a doctor cant really do shit for me.

Can someone just bullshit me at least and say - you'll be fine - You'll be back in the gym in not time. The fact that I cant workout bothers me more than the pain does!

Yeah I got an injury like this as well from benching a few times, not in the exact same spot but close. I think you may have hurt it a bit more than me because mine really only hurt when I worked up. Its probably a strained tendon which you can't do anything about anyways, just ice/rest for a few weeks and dont do chest for 2-3 weeks, then start back light.

Dudes I am cursed! I tore my right distal tendon a few years back and its finally not bothering that much. I am going to see my friend who is a physical therapist tomorrow to see if he can do something.

Moral of the story to anyone just reading this thread but doesnt really give a shit.
WARM UP OR YOU'LL END UP LIKE ME!
