Help think I tore my chest

ad

Was benching, did my 4 sets of warmup.

On my 2nd rep of 315 going up my left side pec armpit area just popped like bubble shrink wrap. Theres no gap or indentation right now( can't feel one either).

But if there was popping noises I must have torn something?

Just let it heal for a couple weeks but if your still in the same pain in a week you might want to see a doctor but if not it should heal up fine

Dont worry bro same thing happened to me 3 weeks ago.. i was on my 5th rep of 405 and same exact place on left chest/armpit popped and was in some pretty good pain but took off chest for 2 weeks and this week im back in the game 315 for 20 reps..and 225 for 45 reps. so sounds like you did the same thing so just take it easy for a couple weeks

I have never torn my chest by i have torn a tricep. You should be able to tell in about 24 hrs your entire pec will bruise. I hope it's not the case bro. My tricep tore about this time last year. It still bothers me to this day. I'd get to your family doc ASAP.

I've seen a guy fully tear his pec in the gym before. Unless you have a very high tolerance for pain, you wouldn't have even made it home. The guy's arm just hung there and he couldn't do anything with it.

Hope it turns out to be nothing serious.

im Thinkin you would know immediately if you tore something like that. You would not be asking because you'd be at the hospital right now
