| Registered User  | Benching heavy, worried about tear, might already have some? Help! On two seperate occations when benching, I felt a very strange tearing feeling on the pec muscle right up near the armpit, the area the bicep muscle and chest muscle connect I guess. Happened once on both sides. Both times I had to take about 2-3 weeks off heavy benching and take it easy. After that I recovered fine. I guess it could not be a tear but I think thats what it is. I'm thinking I had a couple micro tears? For the last couple weeks on chest day each previous injury area has felt sore, like it is ready to be re-injured. Honestly I am not sure what to do? How can I prevent re-injuring myself? Has anyone had this type of problem? My technique is pretty good but could any problems be there? Am I not stretching enough? I stopped doing things like dips and flys a year ago. I do 315lb for sets of 8-10 full reps, and I'm 6'4 so I have a long range of motion. |

| Appnut at large Board Sponsor  | how low do you go with the bar? theres not much need to go anywhere below upper arms parallel with floor. With a long reach if you are taking bar to touching chest its a bad thing....

| Gold Member  | I would stop doing flat bench and switch to incline bench. Interesting thread here: Muscle Mayhem Bodybuilding Forums - HAVE I TORN MY PEC?  X "Discontent is the first necessity of progress." |
