Pulled a pec hard

[wedge]

Was at Six Flags last night and a young boys ball got away in a crowd and I lunged to help him get it back when I felt a deep pain in my left pec that sent tears to my eyes. Took about 30 minutes to shake it off but I still hurt quite a bit. Anybody had this happen to them? later, WEDGE

You have any bruising? If not you're probably ok. I had a friend tear his bicep slapping his training partner trying to psyche him up for some heavy squats....that sucks.....

No bruise, but still ginger under left side. I have done this 2x before but this time it got my attention big time. I tell U this, U can get a freaky injury without much strain with just doing something simple just like your buddy's bi tear.

Ive had the same type of thing happen while on the bench. I never got bruising but had enough pain to stop chest work for 3-4 weeks. I spoke to my strength coach and athletic trainer and they said it could be a slight tear but it could also be the breaking up of scar tissue that has built up over time.

I have alot of scar tissue so I am guessing u hit the nail on the head. My message gal says she can feel alot of scar/ old tears in my pecs form years of training. WEDGE
