Deins Drengers 79 Posted September 17, 2015 Hi ! Long story short : I wanted to participate in national bench press competition so I had to go to the gym and practice bench pressing BUT i didn't drop GST work. As expected I injured myself ( Strained my left pectoralis muscle ) I know it was my fault, no whining and no complaining.I haven't seen a physio and made X-rays because I don't have the money for it at the moment. What were the cues to follow while training around the injury ? I know that you should not train through pain but what about discomfort ? My chest muscle feel very tight and when I do Pushups for example I get this tight/painful feeling. Any advice on how should I heal it faster ?AND after I have healed it I want to Prehab my chest to Never ever injure it again. Can someone recommend a good rehab/prehab protocol that i can follow ?I have been injured before and I've had enough, im gonna prehab every joint, tendon, muscle, ligament so I could become indestructible. I will wait your responses - thank you ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alessandro Mainente 10,498 Posted September 17, 2015 protocols are designed after exam (eco or mri) and functional test (by physio) result.I discourage everyone to give you advices until the situation is clear. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ronnicky Roy 340 Posted September 18, 2015 Only info I can offer you that I know will be good for you regardless, is to go to a dry sauna everyday if possible while you are not training. It offers recovery benefits and assists in retaining muscle while you are not training. That and a clean diet will go a long way towards recovery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
