Question about chest pain / muscles?

Question:

is it normal to get a pain in the middle of your chest from pushing 2 heavy things together.. like i was on this excersize machine dont know what it was called but its when you sit and you use your arms / hand to push together 2 weight holder things.. but anyway when i was doing this i got a pain in the middle of my chest

after this i flexed me chest / shoulders.. i strained my shoulders down and pushed my shoulders inward / forward and it hurt.. it felt like pressure or something in the middle of my chest

it went away just after a couple seconds

but this pain worries me

what could this be ?

muscles or the bone ??

Answers:
You probably strained your muscles. The pectorals are your chest muscles so if your chest hurts that may be the reason. If you displaced a rib then you would still be in pain or at least some discomfort.

It's called being sore. You'll be fine. The Pec Deck, which is the most common name for that machine, stimulates the attachment area of the inner chest along the sternum. It hurts but you are not injured. Use a weight on that machine that allows you to move the next day and you will see results.
