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?

DCinSocalcurrently very swollen, see some very slight bruising... can't tell if its the darkness of my skin or if its purple.. maybe in a few days.
DCinSocalCurrently its pretty damn swollen, icing it down.
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
DCinSocalalright thanks alot man, right now it's swollen, no bruising yet. no internal bleeding it seems. Very sore feeling though.
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
DCinSocalthere is a good amount of pain right now.
I have a REALLY high tolerance to pain ( broke certain bones and dislocated shoulder without too much reaction).
Anyways its swelling pretty bad and hurts to move.. I probably made a very small tear this time...
AnonGo to the doctors this is not something to play around with.
Anonsnapping and popping noises are usually tendons and soft tissue, if there was/is no pain then it is nothing and as you age you will notice that you sound like a box of rice krispies in milk when you move around.
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.
DCinSocalwhat do you think happened bro? a minor tear? i'm hoping its like a sprain or something, but I have torn my right pic( very minor tear) that took me about 6 months to recover...
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
