Wierd pec pain.

bhumik · Aug 6, 2008

I have been dealing with this wierd pec pain. Its on my right pec and right around where the pectoralis attaches to the sternum.
It only come when i contract my chest muscle hard for eg. when I am doing chest press, then it will come at the top of my moment. And almost feels like it is gonna tear. I layed off for four-five weeks and it didnt make one bit of a difference. What is it? aNy of you guys have experience with it and know what to do?

Very hard to say! But when you said you layed off it for some weeks do you mean completely left it alone or backed down on the weights? I would say to give it complete rest for two weeks and then resume some light training. Of course you could always go and see a doctor or sports medicine type of person and have them find out what is really wrong.

sounds like you have some type of strain. Are you locking out at the top motion on the chest press?
