Injury During Pullups

[NewlyDesigned]

Well i worked out my back the other day and did a ton of pullups/chinups. Now my left lat is killing me and i cant put my arm over my head. Has anyone ever had this happen before and knows what it is?im contemplating going to the doctor and see wht he thinks. Theres a dull pain just sittin here which intesifies the higher i raise my arm.

actually i think iv had that. if i remember the chiropracter said i had put my lat into spasm. spasms are weird, you always think something ripped or tore(which is a possibillity) but its just the muscle is somscrunched up it hurts to pull on it. its weird.

Sounds like you overdid your lats into a muscle spasm. Rest for 3 days....with Hot showers and stretching.

Yea I would warmup with lat pulldowns first before doing any pullups. My lats usually get sore the most when doing pullups compared to doing lat pulldowns. I like to do 21's first before going straight into pullups.
