No worries . . .happens to me every once and a while doing weighted dips. Basically a strain and if you ice it for 24-48 hours and then apply heat it will go away in less than a week.
I get this pain too. I think there is just a lot of pressure there...is your pain in the muscle or bone? I get pain in my bones in the middle when dipping.
Stretching after your workout is a good idea, so is a massage technique called myofascial release. It is definitely worth looking into, and believe it or not some insurance programs will pay for it if it is done by a health practitioner.
i used to get that when i was dipping three plates...i assume I'll start getting it again as i'm in the dipping mood lately. I would just stretch. I'm to the point now that that if i stretch my chest apart and pull hard with the lats, i can "crack", "pop" my middle chest..possible the sternum or something...and it's audible enough for others to hear.
