Heard a pop in abdominal. Wtf did I do?

ad

So I'm doing heavy sets of standing military presses and I begin to stall out halfway up the ROM. I keep pushing and the bars making progress without squirming under it and all of a sudden I hear a loud pop as I close out the rep. Now I have a weird, dull feeling on my upper left ab. It's not too swollen but it looks weird. First thought was that I have a sports hernia. Second thought is that I pulled an ab muscle. Anyone have experience? It sucks. I can barely bend over and I'm very uncomfortable although not really in pain unless I'm moving around much. Can't make it to the Drs till after memorial day.

you probably popped something in your abs..maybe a muscle tear..maybe not. (i know this sounds
stupid.)..

unless you have like a golf ball sized knot protruding.. or its black and blue ( like you tore
something).. and you can get around.. Dr is going to send you home. The only person who can
tell if you really did your self in , is your self.

Definitely get it checked out. Example. When I tore my pec. Doc said that there was damage way prior to the in initial tear. What I'm trying to get at is...even if you feel fine, check it out. My body never gave indication that I was tearing my pec. Sounds like your body is hinting you might have done something. Better be safe than sorry
