Hey bros, I need some of your experience here. I did my chest workout last wednesday and since i started my current cycle (75 mgs oral Winstrol (winny) ed, starting week 4 now) I've noticed my right pec giving out before my left is done. In the interest of keeping things even, I do my presses until my right side fails then I quit. I've been pushing it very hard and I think I injured my right pec.
Here I am a week later and tomarrow I'm supposed to do chest but my right pec is still very sore.

1. Am I right in assuming I should take chest off this week to let it heal?
2. Should I do some light work to help it?
3. When would it be safe to go back and hit it hard?

Feeling and seeing awesome results from this cycle (as weak as it seems it works great for me) and I dont want to waste too much of it.
 
take a wee off and see if it helps. couple of week smay be needed. focus on the other compound movements and you wont loose a thing in you chest. you body will let you know when its ready to bench again.
 
Thanks pullinbig, my body was tellin me injured but my brain was sayin dont be a pussy. I've never hurt a chest muscle , probably wasnt big enough to do so. Do you have any advice to keep it from happening again? I keep super strict form and push with all I got, should I back off a little?
 
hard to say from here as i dont know you or what your routine is like. posting it is one thing but being there is another
 
Skip chest this week and let it heal. Should heal fast with the juice and you will not lose any strength missing only a week. And in your case it will make you stronger. It is only one day out of the cycle, no biggie. Would you rather injure it more and have to quit lifting all together for a few months? I hurt my shoulder in September and just now doing flat bench again.
