 Tom's CNS is better than steroids Member 2886, 2973 posts SQ 190, BP 122.5, DL 210522.5 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Hey sorry to ruin the flow of Wayne on the front page, this thread may be s**t enough to fit though.  Doing my 2nd run of philipi coan routine and nearing the end so hoping for 200kg next week. Anyhoo both last time when I got near max and this time I feel a strange sensation in one pec as though it's about to tear. Its the side of the underhand grip if that is anything to do with it. Is this common at all or does anyone know what it could be? Never done much max DL before these coan cycles so nothing to compare to. It is worrying me a bit because it feels on the verge of doing damage | ||

Member 1723, 821 posts SQ 280, BP 200, DL 330810.0 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | I've gotten pretty bad cramp in one of my pecs from DL before, and I know some guys have a hard time deadlifting heavy after a pec injury. Never heard of any actual pec injuries directly from DL, but I really wouldn't be suprised if someone's pulled or tweaked their pec in someway. | ||

I think he may have torn his pec doing deads. Could you not do some double overhand stuff when you're warming up or try to use DOH for max attempts? | ||

You don't need them. Sorry everyone. Don't follow this advice. Kirkynick sent me a message telling me off for suggesting it | ||

Haha jack I'm gunna snap a slayer CD just for your silly comment. DOH is all I did last time and it still happened :s Possibly related note I just remembered, this pec has been slightly bigger than the other for aslong as I can remember. Maybe it's floating away  | ||

 as crimson as my last victims underclothing..... Member 899, 11329 posts SQ 180, BP 132.5, DL 190502.5 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq | It happens to me but its right across the whole of my pecs and shoulders. All the skin tears too and you can see the bleeding under the skin. It only happens on a max single though. | ||

Pulling the upper back hard might counteract it but on a maximum effort it might be inevitable anyway. | ||
