Trent Whalin Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I did many ring dips yesterday and at the time or immediately after I felt a soreness and compression around my sternum. I looked what it may be online and on body builders forums they said it hurt and it was fibers from the sturnum ripping. I am sure I was stupid and leaned too far forward and went down too far. Do you think that was the problem? As any one else experienced this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cody Ward Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 When I first started doing dips it was pretty unconfortable in my sternum. Not really pain though.I'm not sure if I should have kept going, but i did, and it went away after a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially at the top of the range of motion to work the serratus anterior at the same timeRetract(Bring scapula together) yes. Especially through out the full range of motion.

Yaad Mohammad Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 You probably overstretched your muscles around the sternum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
