Acute rib pain,

[Shaun73]

I have a slight pain in my ribs on the left side. Started after doing heavy leg press the other day. I usually go full range of motion and let my knees touch my chest or come close to touching. I had my feet close together on this particular press. I completed the sets however maybe i did come down too low and possibly compressed my knee to the rib cage? The pain is not bad i can still train. it does feel kinda cramped or bruised.
Any one have an idea of what happened? Will it go away? i know definately nothing is broken. Should i go get an x ray just incase

ive had it happen... its because you have been lifting your ass off the seat to get that full ROM - hence putting pressure on your insides rather than your tailbone/glutes... no need... always keep the ass on the seat!

Tweaking little muscles is a pretty common occurrence. If it hurts let it rest. If it aches carry on carefully.

I had something like that too. Lasted quite a while so I brought it up at some point. Doc tested me for hernia.. ****, I didn't know that they do all this weird shit to you for that.


to OP: I wouldn't worry about it if you can train..
