Damaged my chest?? dont train?

[bradhore]

Im on week 11 of my cycle, and on chest day, warmed up as usual on the flat bar bench, then put on the most ive ever benched, and did 8 reps of 110kg..

I bought the bar down all the way, and pushed up to the top and held it there for 1 sec, but after this first set i couldn't carry on!!

Its really hurting, on both sides, on my upper chest where my chest meets my shoulders.

It been hurting for 2 days now.

whats the best thing to do to avoid it, or make the pain go away??

should i not train it next week? just dont want to ruin my cycle but then again dont want to damage myself even more..

dont train on it till its 100%, its not worth it, im in pain for almost a year now cos i didnt listen to my shoulder. you wont lose out by missing a week or 2, be careful with shoulder exercise also

^^^^^ good advice

I see more people injured on flat bench than any other exercise albeit the injury is usually to the sholder area. I know many people, myself included that will never touch the flat bench a practice you might want to adopt for the future. Take some time to heal, dec is right missing a week or 2 is fine so long as you're training other areas.

Rest it until it heal 100%. Either work around it or just take a full break from training.
