Chest pain during any type of dipss, anyone else get this?

[volatile]

As above.

During the exercise, say about after the 4th rep I get a real bad pain in the centre of my rib cage (sternum), and it hurts for weeks after whenever i go into a certain position.

Its a real shame as dips are a great tricep/peck mass builder, Ive tryed using different forms but still hurts my chest eventually.

I guess im gonna have to try correcting my form again but I doubt I will be able to work around this problem, does anyone else suffer from this kind of thing, im curious

Thx guys

Yes, I do... hurts like a bitch but is only temporary for me....

I rarely do dips anymore though...

if you are in pain for weeks you cant hit your chest effectively in the following workouts..

either lighten up and and do more reps or dont do dips at all

got physio when it was real bad went away after couple of sessions,now i only get it after heavy dips!
