However, the other thing I would say it likely could be if you did some stressful exercise like pulling or pushing movements on the ribcage is that it could be costochondiritis / tietze syndrome I do have a write up this but seriously get it checked out by a doc. Do not mess with potential heart issues. + Show Spoiler + costchondritis/tietze syndrome: So you can give yourself costcondritis/tietze syndrome/etc. by aggravating your costal cartilages by doing this. Since the origin of the pecs is on the sternum and partially on the costal cartilages, if you haven't used your chest in resistance trainig much before the connective tissues aren't as strong. Thus, when you do a deep movement where you erally stretch out the pecs like dips, the origin of the muscle on the costal cartilages can start to pull them away from the costal facets on the sternum Obviously, this creates inflammation and in general can lead to some popping and hurting. Best thing you can do is REST AND LET IT HEAL. Take your anti-inflammatories to help decrease inflammation and allow healign to occur. Fish oil is always good. Massage to teh area works as well. Ice if it helps. Otherwise, once it starts feeling better use heat to stimulate more blood flow to encourage faster healing from the body since the area does not get a lot of blood flow as it is bone/cartilage in that area. Keep the muscles working through full but non-weight bearing and non-painful range of motion so that the muscles don't tighten up on you, and the muscle movement will also help stimulate blood flow to the area as well. Usually, if you didn't chronically aggravate you should be able to get back to exercising within a week. Just avoid the exercise that aggravates it for a while, and focus on other exercises that are less intense of the chest... and then work your way back into these SLOWLY so you don't reaggravate your condition. This isn't really relevant but the part about popping in the chest reminded me. When I was younger, I was leaning over a banister to talk to someone downstairs and my chest popped like when you lean back in a chair and your back cracks. It wasn't so much a crack as a deep popping sound, and it ached for the next day or so, but it went away. I'm sure it wasn't serious, but it scared the hell out of me at the time :p | ||

Can't do it on purpose 100% of the time, but it happens maybe once every other day. Nothing hurts though, just like cracking knuckles so I'm not too worried...should I be? | ||

My chest occasionally does the same thing. So does the point in my back between the shoulder blades when I pull them back, but much more often, and so does my lower back the first time I go to the dead hang position to start a pullup. I'm pretty sure that's a much more normal thing, and if there's no pain it's not something I would worry about. Chest pains though, like the other guy is talking about are a much bigger deal. I wore a heart monitor for a straight month when I was younger, because I would have completely random episodes of my resting heart rate racing to 170 or even higher BPM. The heart is not something you want to mess around with or take lightly. | ||

So what to do if i cant go to gym or do any cardio because i hate getting wet. I just have my floor and my body, cant even do pullups in my home. Anyone has a routine they are doing like this? I would love to have it for more rainy days. It might dry out, but just in case! Also, should i buy multivitamins? When i googled it in estonian like 5 first articles were that they dont work. | ||

I realised something with my handstands. Would i still gain hypertrophy/mass (on my shoulders) with my handstands even if it's just time progressions? (like 3x20-30seconds -->3x25-35seconds) Because isnt that just training endurance instead of strength and endurance doesnt produce that much mass/strength. Is this time progression improvement workout to workout the same as adding reps to an excercise instead of weights? eg-1st workout 3x15 45kg/99lb bench ---> 3x17 45kg/99lb bench. They are both training endurance over strength arent they? Last question- my left hand middle finger is quite swollen and my doctor advised me not to lift weights or do any basketball (OMG T_T) but would handstands/benchdips still be ok? It is swollen at the middle joint and tendons that stabilize it from moving right to left are damaged. | ||

Some guy pulled me aside and warned me he will call the cops on me. lol I love my home country. The first thing that somebody thinks when they see a guy running at night isn't that he's taking a jog, but that he stole something. | ||

First workout was really good though :D Except for Deadlifts, got to read up on a LOT of technique regarding DL : / 5x3 squats 50kg 5x3 bench 50kg 5x1 Deadlift 50kg Deadlift had my knees flying all over the place, god damnit. Squatting feels real good though! phyre, what are your current lifts? Edit: I don't have lactose intolerance anymore, so i can start draining full fat milk aside of my creatin and protein. I still never learned to drink it though. How can I make milk taste less like milk? Don't want to 'man up' for 2 liters a day, every day. | ||

SS always has you do 3 sets of 5 reps. I just rest as much as I feel like I need to but watch out so you don't get cold inbetween the sets. 2-5mins usually do the trick. Focus on keeping your knees out, like in the squat. Drink the milk ice cold, then it just runs down nice and smoothly. @Sneakyz: GJ man! | ||

Additionally, is there anything else I should be considering on this front? For some reason, I just instinctively think of all other powders and supplements as manufactured placebos. Or at best, not worth their cost in that they may provide spot gains, but long-term there is little need to worry about them, particularly with decent nutrition. The only exception may be fish oil stuff but even for that, I don't know what it does and it seems pretty expensive  . Am I wrong about this? | ||

At the end of these twelve weeks I'm going to hate chicken, salmon and cottage cheese. Had a non-stop headache today, I put it to the sudden stoppage of carbs over the last couple of days, or perhaps a tumour. Edit: Weird questions maybe.. can alcohol withdrawal cause headaches? | ||

Low carbs and achohol withdrawal can very well be the source of your hadache. @inimenesc: Just get out there and get wet, be it on the way to the gym or because you went out for a run. Bad weather is no excuse. Just suck it up. | ||
