Pain in chest area

[president]

Doing inclines I get this pain over my right upper chest when I go heavy. At times the pain only comes when im pushing the weights, and other times it will stay and affect other areas. Does anyone know what can cause this type of pain?

I had that problem from time to time.: I started using the smith machine on incline andhavent had it.sense. Try that out maybe that will help. It did for me anyway.

Yea. I would do what BigBoss said. Had a buddy have the same problem. He changed over to doing smithmachine and it has helped him a lot as well.

Is it a sharp pain or does it feel like something pulling in in your chest?

How long has this been going on?

Chest pain usually occurs during push-ups or pressing exercises such as dips and bench presses.Such pain occurs due to an injury to the costal cartilage and this occurs due to repetitive strain on sternum.
