Chest pain after squats?

[CanadaStrong88]

So I get a tight pain in the centre of my chest which hurts when I exhale, raise arms above head, or bend down. Seems to happen often after I do legs.. Is it a problem with my breathing during lifts? Have had people watch and critique form.

I get the same diaphragmatic pain for a few days after certain workouts. No idea why.

I have F d my ribs up so many times while on active duty it takes all my effort to not pop a tramadol immediately after a workout. I finally got off those little bastards and fight the urge....

tylenol and stuff is just not the same lol

Try some light db overhead stretching lying across a flat bench. Really try to stretch at the bottom and expand your ribcage. 2 sets of 12 should be plenty. The key is light weight. You want to stretch and not use so much weight as to force the muscles to contact a bunch.

Legs was yesterday. Fairly intense. between sets, I got this real light headed "out of body experience" (not sure how else to describe it) for a brief moment. Then a quick ringing in my ears, and then they both slowly dissipated.

The more intensity, it seems, the more these weird sensations seem to happen.

Lol at least you know you're training with proper intensity

That's from blood vessels rupturing in your head. Your having mini strokes... J/K

It could be your breathing, in my studies it showed that a lot of people suffer from a sudden spike in their diastolic blood pressure, you really need to exhale as you push any weight, holding your breath in and pushing is like squashing a balloon. It can pop if there is too much pressure in it, same goes for your cardiovascular and respiratory system.
