Re: Chest Tendon Pain, What Should I Do?!?

Why are you working out when it hurts...let it heal! Take some time off and give your tissue time to heal! You may have some tendonitis..do you incorporate some rotator cuff exercises in your routine? Do you stretch your pecs? There are mechanical and postural reasons for tendinitis, especially in folks that lift heavy weights and bench press a lot.
