Pop in middle of chest???

ad

Ok so I was on chest day, murdered the workout and I usually do my pull overs at the end of my workout. Was very tired but me I like to push myself and today felt something very weird and wanted to know if anyone felt or had this happen.
So my second set of pullovers, going a little heavier than normal too, on that stretch down, heard a very noticible and loud(to me) pop from the center of my chest so immediately put the dumbbell down and it felt like I was kicked in the heat for about 5 min. I got scared and quit after that but it was a little hard to breath for a couple hrs and somewhat sore. The next day was a little sore too but it actually went away the day after that. Very weird and scary. No I didn't go to the doctor or anything. My bpm was so high too because I push myself to exhaustion I thought my fucking heart exploded or something. Just wanted to hear if anyone has had something like this happen

Xiphoid process is the center connection on the front of your rib cage.... it's made of cartalidge. The sound/ feeling was probably similar to a knuckle cracking from tension buildup... or some action similar. As long as the pain subsides you're good to good.
I have it happen pretty regularly minus the pain

That's exactly what I was thinking and compared it too. I feel gtg now. Just weird and scary never had that happen in 12 years

Yes That happens when I do something similar on a regular basis.
Just north of the solar plexus.
Could be the rib cage expanding in front of the scapular hyper extension.
