Chest Pain After Push-ups by iceboy4752(m): 2:04pm On Dec 13, 2019
Good day Nairalanders.
I started doing some home workouts recently. When I did about 30 push-ups today, I started having some pains in the middle of my chest (sternum). Is it normal or is it something to panic about?
I need those with experience to guide me please.

It’s a normal thing. You have two options: 1. Stretch or 2. Continue with the pain. If you’re under 26 you can continue with the pain and your body will get accustomed to the discomfort after three days. If older search online for full body stretches.

Edit: Then again this is Nairaland. This advice will fly over your head and you’ll choose to stop completely.

I'm in my early twenties. So you mean I should continue?

Having pain in the middle of your chest during push-ups is something of concern. If I may ask, is the pain piercing, mild?. Does the pain spread outwards to your pec muscles?

It's mild, it only started today. Thirty push-ups was the highest I ever did since I started.

Okay, no cause for alarm. Ur muscles is trying to adapt to the body weight imposed on it. U will be fine. You can also try doing strength training exercises with freeweights(dumbbells and barbells).

No Pain
No Gain
