pulled pec during shrugs

[Bimmer]

Well I was doing heavy shrugs today and dont know which rep it was but when I was done it felt like I pulled my right pec. When I touch it , it just feels soar as if I worked it hard the day before. Would it be ok to do chest say 2 days from now?

not if you pulled it. is it discolored? how can you pull a pec doing shrugs?

if its painful dont work it. let it heal up first.

Pulling a pec with shrugs? That’s quite original.
If you injured yourself take rest. It’s that simple.
It is better to miss training for a week or 2 to get some rest and let it heal, then get a serious injury and miss training for a few months.

If you really hurt yourself I dont see how you think its going to heal in 2 days. I had to go light on shrugs for about 6 weeks when I tweaked something around my left shoulder blade area, probably a nerve.

oh its definatly original, feels alot better today. Its a slight soarness as if I worked it hard the day before. As for how it happend, I think when I went to drop the wieght I kinda leaned in with it since I was wearing straps. Dont know for sure but at least its better.

Not original. Ive pulled my pec doing rack deads. I know others whov done similar. I dont know the physiology behind it but it happens.

We tense so many other muscles during lifting that it sometimes just happens.

I'll say! I get a sore neck everytime I do shoulder. I little ice and heat off and on for a day or two and I'm right as rain
