Your explanation of the non-aligned muscles was unique to the web and the amount of time that you spent on "self massage" was just enough to help us stick to a trial. I'm a convert. As a former recreational bench presser who probably tore a few muscles, I think I've been waiting for your advice for 40 years. Tkx

I just tore my left pec at the top simply by stretching my chest, with my hands behind my back. I put ice on it but then the ice was making it more painful after 15 minutes. Then came across this video and I just tried to massage it as prescribed here and it seems to have subsided a bit. I did maybe 2 chest exercises a couple days ago so I wonder if something was brewing since then and this stretch was the final straw. Worst chest muscle pain I’ve ever felt, my anxiety didn’t help either. Thank you, you gained a new follower and I hope this heals quick

Hey guys this is freaking me out. Good freaking not bad! I’m 78 years old, very active, played tennis yesterday, served a hard first serve whilst still cold and really pulled my right pectoral near the upper arm. It hurt like mad, couldn’t even touch it, very painful. In the middle of the night in bed found your video and thought I can’t lose anything if I try it. Counter-intuively I massaged the spot ACROSS the muscle fibres and well honestly, I almost cried in the morning because from the evening before where I could hardly touch the arm as it was like a knife going in, I woke up and found I could rotate my arm, no pain only a soreness like when someone punches you on the arm. I’m freaking out because this shouldn’t be happening! I told friends who play tennis with me and they can’t believe it either. A tear or a strain like I had normally takes days even 2-4 weeks to settle down, applying Arnica cream x3 a day and using the elastic kineo/athlete tape. This is nothing short of miraculous, I simply cannot believe it! I will rest the arm until a week’s time and then carefully return to playing. Thank you guys does not get anywhere near to telling you how grateful I feel for your wisdom!

[@mikieemiike3979]

I injured myself bench pressing. The following day that exact point on my outer peck that you pointed to turned yellow and my whole bicep bruised. After almost 3 months I regained full range of motion but my strength is gone. The doctors did nothing but say,"yup, that's a tear" then gave me sling.

[@gauravsankhe5808]

Thank you folks! 🙏🏻

[@gregpatterson1427]

You guys nailed it! This exactly what I have. I was so pissed when this happened a second time. I would love a regime that tells me how to rehab the pec with weights. I am guessing low and slow with more time on tension and less weight. From maxing 465 at 57 yo I am annoyed supremely that this is occurring. Thank you for your wisdom.

[@vladimirerfan7721]

Same here. Reinjured my left pec minor by doing pushups without warmup, not even maxing out on the bench. Good thing the injury is much less substantial then the first time. Gonna focus on the form more. A common theme I've notice on both injuries is I was fatigued from having not enough sleep the night before, wasn't properly hydrated and didn't warmup enough which led to from breakdown - all these compounded factors led to the injury I believe. From now on am gonna focus on these things more and If I'm not feeling it right might just deload or skip the session altogether. Health and longevity is more important than gains at this point. Good luck with your rehab!

[@collinjohnson7006]

Maybe warm up the chest with some dumb bell floor flies before benching? The time under tension approach is much safer as far as decreasing injury.

[@silentgrind34]

@@collinjohnson7006 This just happend to me. I tore the left one twice. This time the right each time it happend on my last set but not even that heavy. It was 5x8 at 225. However this time I did bench 3x this week. Mon Wed and today which is Fri. Do you think that the 3x a week bench is the cause

[@MrSirDudeGuy]

@@abu_alii did not help me. I went through several more months of physical therapy, stretching, exercises, oral medication, topical cream, MRI, then most recently a Cortizone injection. A little over a year with the pain. The MRI showed I had an inflamed shoulder ACL. Everything else looked fine. There’s a lot going on in the shoulder joint. It can be hard to diagnose. I thought it was a Peck. Physical therapist thought it was a bicep tendon. turned out to be the ACL. They all tie in at pretty much the same spot.

Cheers for the advice and explanation! After 22 years of working out I got my 1st injury last Monday and I think I have straing or slightly torn my upper pec major during my 2nd to last set of benching. No swelling, no bruise and just some pain and discomfort. Fysio appointment could not be made earlier that Thursday but I read everywhere that quick action is required so with these exercises I can star already. No pushups etc. without the fysio's appoval but the stretching and massage will help.

[@mbyosoyyo25]

Hi just strained my peck 6 days ago. Feeling some what better now. Just curious how are you doing and how long did it take you to heal?

[@cornpit77]

@@mbyosoyyo25 Hi, sorry to hear you have suffered a similar injury as well. I am doing fine now, thanks. The recovery took at least 8 weeks. During that periode I did go to the gym twice a week as usual yet I incorporated the advice from my physiotherapist for chest exercises: slow repitions, low weights and slowly increasing the weights. And by slow he meant really slow. My max is 100kg for the last bench press set and I start warming up for that exercise using only the barbell. Then 10kg each side with I increase each set with 5kg each side. But now I had to do smaller steps as I was explained that the percentage of weight increase was quite big. So I started with 10kg each side and took steps of 2,5kg instead. Keep doinf that for 2 weeks before increasing the load. And I had to focus on the feeling in my injured peck: a very faint and mild pain is not bad. A bit more is too much. That is very subjective yet I knew what the physiotherapist meant as over the years I had more injuries which were not fitness related such as a major back surgery to avoid becoming fully paraplegic. To recover from that requires similar process in getting confidence in your body and recognizing signals of pain and seperating them into good, warning and bad signals. So basic thing is: keep moving the injured muscle and keep exercising it yet with much slower reps and slow increase of the weights. And stretch frequently like in this video, nornals stretch after 2 sers which I still do nowadays. For bench press specifically I advice you to check the Athlean-X video about that. Jeff Cavalier is a physio himself so he knows what he's talking about. Very useful stuff to improve your movement while working out.

[@mbyosoyyo25]

@@cornpit77 thank you so much for that information.

[@eliyadevan5301]

@@cornpit77 could I ask if your initial pain too was very minimal? I think I did the same too. I had 10days off and did the foolish thing to pick up where I left off and injured it today. I'm hoping recurrence doesn't occur too. I'm still just 26 and that would suck. I just pulled my rhomboid couple weeks ago and hence the break

[@cornpit77]

@@eliyadevan5301 Yes, it was very minimal. First signs were nothing out of the ordinary. But the last push that set off things I could clearly feel a more deep pain. Just take your time and slowly build up your weight as explained above. Had no issues after the recovery anymore. Just train repsonsibly, check Athlean-X for good advice on proper setup and movement during common exercises. Or ask a gym instructor with a background in physiotherapy to go through your exercises. These guys know so much about training responsibly. Personally I don't listen to bro-science anymore. Did a session with such an instructor for starting deadlifts. Never dared to do deadlifts as I have had severy back surgery 15yrs ago but learned this year that deadlifts, if done responsibly and with good technique can actually prevent back injuries. Taking a few steps back for a couple of weeks or even some months doesn't hurt your long term abilto workout. Overdoing things too quickly after injuries can permanently put you out of the gym. Good luck and take responsible steps. 👍🏻

[@bobsibert1968]

I'm 65 and for the past 20 years have been inactive in exercising my upper body, even though I run 25 miles a week. So, I decided to start doing pushups and after my ripped kids were teasing me, so I tried and found I could barely do one lol.. After a couple days I could do ten and now after a month later doing 75 a day, 25, morning, 25 noon and 25 evening and my old pecs are coming back! I have about ten years of martial arts behind me 30 years ago, we use to weight train, do knuckle and fingertip pushups all the time, so this past month I've been reliving my past doing knuckle, flat, wide pushups and the other day I must of torn something in my left pectoral and the next day I forced myself to get back at it and I hurt myself more lol, it hurt coughing, sleeping and nearly everything I did, so I talked with my Chiropractor friend and he said take a month off doing anymore pushups, which didn't make my newly pumped chest very happy lol! Well, a week later I feel fine and I want to get back to new regime and I don't want to wait another 3 weeks, am I being extremely stupid!?? If you read his long post, thanks!

@@jjtor2607 can you describe your pain? Mine starts mild but after about a week gets really severe and remains that way for a few weeks, then slowly gets better - if I don't put pressure on my chest of course -. It started 5 years ago while I was doing pushups. I had another episode a few months later while doing bench press with a very light weight. Because it's on the left side, I used to think it's a heart problem. I saw multiple cardiologists but they couldn't diagnose any heart problem. But since I was really scared for my heart I just quit gym. Now I'm back at it after 5 years and now I think it's most likely muscle strain and not heart problem because it always happened to me after chest exercise.

This is the perfect video for my situation. It has been very aggravating to have gone to pt for a few months and my pain to mostly go away then for it to just to keep coming back. It makes sense that massaging the muscle is crucial because that was the part that seemed to help the most when I was in pt. I’ll give this a try and see how it goes, it’s just really nice to have you explain exactly what has happened to me it gives me hope. Thanks guys hopefully this works

Nigel Bell did the massaging end up helping???

Hugo Wentzel slightly but not 100%

Disregard this. My orthopedic originally thought it was a strain, but after a mri I am being told it is a stress reaction of coracoid process. This video can still be beneficial, also speak with orthopedic and possibly bring up stress reaction of coracoid process. It may save you a few unnecessary trip of different orthopedics

Just what I did the other night working out. Real sharp pain. I hate laying off my workouts. The massage and bands worked great for a shoulder strain also.

Guys, thanks.. same is heppening. It was injjred for two months, ans only complete rest helped it, with Magnesium suppliments. Now I have it again, because I need to carry my baby for longer in the night to help him sleep. Now again it hurts even while walking. I don't know how to diagnose if it is a minor and small muscule tear? What kinda pain and how long, and while what kinda movements? How long it lasts etc. Could you please make another video on judt properly diagnosing the chest pain? Could high blood pressure cause pain as well? I noticed thst massaging and touching it worsens it and only leaving it alone for a few days helped before and is still helping again. 2 days ago the pain was so much that I couldn't even bend down to lift the shoes up. Even bending down was causing pain. Doctor also said just rest, and NO ACTIVITY. I Still go on walks for other benedits. But yeah, only No-Activity helped! The problem is, like you said, it feels like healed, and then if you work the muscule out few days later, it starts hurting again.. Maybe due to the errstic fashion scsr tissue like you said What if the massage hurts the muscule even more and caused more pain? My pain is not only in the sided but could also be in lower chest or bones in the middle. Kindly help! 😢

Great video, as always, gentlemen. I do have a question though: while doing triceps dips I get a sharp pain in my pecs right at the point where they connect to the sternum. Sometimes I power through it, sometimes it ruins my workout and can hurt for days. I cannot figure out how it happens or why. Any tips?

[@legobuildingsrewiew7538]

same!

[@dan_4531]

A lil late, but sounds like costochondritis. The reason youre feeling this pain is because maybe you are too hunched over when doing dips. I suggest trying out straight bar dips which may feel more natural to some compared to parallel bar dips. Also, try rolling out your lats and thoracic spine to allow for external rotation in your shoulders, which will help with posture
