    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!

      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. I'm doing very light chest workout nowadays and it still bothers my chest. I don't know what can I do about it after 5 years. Even if one day I could do 150 ibs bench press that would be great. Any advice?

    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.

      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!

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!

      @cornpit77 3 роки тому +2

      @@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.

      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. 👍🏻

      LoooL bro trust me that’s what it takes - did a chest strain myself been out 6 weeks - mostly healed but haven’t trained for that’s duration so need to start easing myself back in after two/more weeks.
      It sucks but life is more than training, better to control the controllables and put ur xp into what you can do whilst ur injured rather than pushing through and reinjuring.
      Been focusing on diet, and other life stuff.
      The goal is not to workout right now or for a month or for a year but forever so what’s 6 weeks in the grand scheme of things.

      Crazy how we forget our own advice.
      Just set out my rehab and workout regime in absence of a real push day so I dont feel aimless anymore. If people with no legs find a way to get in shape, then its not the injury its the will thats the issue right?
      Lets go my bro, 6 months from now, we will probably be back to PRs and completely have forgotten about this.

    I literally just strained my right pectoral muscle during boxing training 20min ago. Pain takes a while to build up and then my pectoral stiffined and I came here. Thankfully whilst watching the video I calmed after training and my pectoral released it's tightness mostly, and then the pain went down. Did the exercise and it's now not sore if I don't flex pectoral. Feels like I just got to take a day off the training and I'll be good. Took no pain killers at all.

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

    I started developing chest pain 5 years ago while doing pushups and had a few other episodes which always happened to me after chest exercise. Because it's on the left side, I used to think it's a heart problem and saw many doctors but no problem was found with my heart. Now I'm realizing that it's chest muscle pull or tear. I just don't know what can I do about it after 5 years. I hope it's not too late.😓

      @@Johnny-bv4kg I honestly recommend switching completely to dumbbell press. Go with like 30s and take reps as slow as possible for 12-15 for 5 sets. Build the weight up on the dumbbell press and really strengthen your rear delts with other workouts. Through in push ups and eventually cable flys without to much of a stretch. Eventually you’ll be back in the game with minimal pain. Slow reps on everything chest. Personally I’ve completely thrown out a normal bench press. I also did physical therapy and got with chiropractors for a year but I really screwed myself going hard right after the strain

    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! 😢

      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
