Two weeks ago I was doing floor presses with 315 lbs. Not a heavy weight for me as I have done this for reps before Ican can flat bench this weight for multiple sets of 8 reps so Iknow Im over not over doing it.
I do a set of 5 reps with 315 on the floor press and the last 2 reps or so I feel some slight pain and discomfort in my left pec but nothing drastic. I did not think much of it. Being a stubborn #%@# I loaded up 335 which I have also handled before in the floor press for reps and took it down for the first rep and felt an acute burning sensation in my left pec and it hurt a bit more so I racked the weight and stopped.
I took the rest of the week off and did not lift chest at all last week. Today, Thursday was my first day back in the gym. I warmed up with the bar for 2 sets in the flat bench trying to cautious and put on 135. I felt a a little bit of discomfort but I would not call it pain. I went up to 225 and did 2 reps which i would describe a slightly painful. I did not feel the burning sensation as I had two weeks before but I stopped.
I have talked to a number of guys i know and researched torn pecs on the internet and I don't believe its torn as I have no black and blueing and there is no abnormal appearance in my left pec as compared in my right pec as i have seen in alot of internet photos and no I have not gone to the doctor yet.
Anyone have any ideas as to what I may be going through or what my problem is with my left pec?
Thanks
