The best thing most people can do is take a break for at least two months and then work on postural issues within the upper back and shoulders and anterior pelvic tilt and then also do some stretching do this for three months and then start incorporating some proper weight training that has good emphasis on the back glutes hamstrings and you shouldn't get imbalances that affect all of your body if it's caused by an injury like mine then it can literally take 5 years to heal or you need surgery and even then it never really repairs itself people need to take into account the size of the rib cage if you have a small rib cage do not do dips
This really hits it! The back of the body gets so easily neglected.
What was your injury my friend?
BarRookie got bed bound when I got ill for 3 or 4 months when I had eye surgery, eyes got infected so I was blind for a while and medication poisoned my organs and the further top it off they fucked my stomach up so I couldn't eat for nearly two years fun times. this caused me to get rheumatoid arthritis, fibro, coco and afrw other things then about two years afterthis i did the below and made it worse was still somewhat pretty fucked up and had no business doing anything that heavy in such an awkward place, picking a 150lb concrete post out of the ground buried like 4ft cracked my chest. Or when i slipped later that day and wacked myself in the sternum maybe both, had it for another year really bad until i got fit again, personally i think posture is the number 1 issue this is where all these problems sink there routes do a proper kythotic, anterior tilt and forward neck routine while incorporating a good strength routine after afew months is key on phone so commet is likely aweful will edit on pc later
Wow man! Did you fully recover from it?
I completely agree with you. We are all too sedentary too which makes everything extremely tight. Then we hit the gym/park for maybe 5 hours per week, where most people focus on beach muscles that make there posture even worse.
That is why I truly want to make people mindful of this fact, with my channel.
Because I had so many injuries and aches (nothing like you had) and all because of bad posture outside of the gym/park.
I'm so glad that you think the same way!
how is your mobility going atm?
working on it currently trying to sort out a routine where I can do weights, cardio, stretching and postural stuff all at the sametime, without working out for 3 hours a day (i'll phase it all in as I couldn't do it all if I tried so hopefully by this time next year I'll have built up to doing 2 workouts a day, hour each roughly, something like A,B,A full body then cardio inbetween the gym days, then a posture workout everyday with stretching and foam rolling when I need it, which happens to be alot) when I do strength training on the glutes/hammies I get some annoying ass back pain, something to do with tightness in my outside hips and likely the Quadratus Lumborum, or maybe my kidneys are falling out lol looking stuff up about it now, athlean-x has some good stuff about it.
Funnily enough though my mobility is not bad as in range of motion, but my muscles are really tight and stretching can make them worse pretty easy, it's abit of a mine field working out what to do when your pretty fucked up, for sure sitting is your enemy.
So i'm thinking something along the lines of
monday = A
tuesday = some form of cardio
wednesday = b
thursday = cardio
friday = A
saturday = long walk
sunday = lazy day
Then everyday i'll do some posture work and abs that will likely involve afew stretches as well, then when I feel I need it i'll do some stretching and foam rolling. doing some DIY reserve hypers with a band/board in my squat rack as well, also have a inversion table, this can work wonders at time for decompressing, 5-10 after a weight workout and it makes a difference.
Who cares how he typed it out. Oh that's right, the two english teachers.
I’ve been searching everywhere to find answers for this pain! Satisfying to see I’m not the only one dealing with this, thanks man awesome video
I hope you got something out of it.
I have the same
@@darl6000 dude me too....
@@Dabirawvlogs dude me to...
literally i even used gpt and it told me it was a bone issue but thats about the extent of what i found
Man this makes so much sense, my sternum has been killing me lately on the pullups and rows, popping all the time. Thanks, now I know what I gotta do!
You're welcome man! 😊 hope it heals fast! 💪
Thanks. This helped me a lot. Finally someone knows what I am going through and can help.
You're welcome!
my sternum does not hurt when I don't do anything, but when I start doing pushups, dips it or pushing my sterum upward, I can really feel the pain
Really work on fixing your posture when you're sitting, helps a lot for me.
Here are some great stretches (ruclips.net/video/ZI4nSMEXPmU/видео.html)
Really listen to your body here and try not to go through the pain. Focus on the exercises that don't hurt for a while.
What happen next bro?
@The Great Indian Podcast bro same problem help me plzz
Me too. I was able to do 40 dips and around 80 pushups in one session, but now whenever I do those 2 exercises i feel chest bone pain...
@@bajamaliknindza440 hi baja does does it healed? how long?
Thank you so much! I had this issue and went to a reputable physical therapist and they didn't diagnose it so I've been living with this issue for nearly two years. After having this issue flare up again an seeing your video, I rolled out my back it it went away immediately! Thank you!!!!!
I had the same thing! Therapists didn't seem to find anything. Good luck man! Please check out my other videos on the topic for more information.
didn't expect this video was this good. thanks, man!
Thank you so much!! 😍
Awesome video. You described everything that I’ve been experiencing and exactly how to fix it.
Did it go
I've had this pain for many months now and you just told me everything I deeded to know to get better
Thanks👍🙏
Ugh, I've been popping my sternum for so long. I must resist!! I was sleeping on a bad bed for years and don't have the best posture. Gonna try your tips. Thanks!
These exercises helped me a lot with my sternum pain. I also went to a physio you gave me similar exercises to release my upper thoracic area. But I still had some clicking and sternum pain which did not go away until I started doing isometric static holds involving pushing the palms of my hands hard together in a prayer position and holding for 6 or so seconds and repeating a few times every day. That exercise would cause a burning sensation at a point in my upper sternum, which I believe was caused by an inflamed ligament attached to the sternum bone. Once I starting doing that isometric hold after the loosening exercises the sternum pain reduced. Once the pain was reduced enough I started doing "pendlay rows" and "farmers walk" exercises and the clicking in my sternum mostly stopped soon after. I now have very little clicking in my sternum and only a mild sensation of discomfort after excercise but no pain or need to pop. It has taken me over a year to get this far. I don't believe it would have gotten better on its own. One doctor told me I'd have it for life.
I'm Really glad to hear that you've really pushed through it👏❤
could you better explain that one ecersise you did please?
I have almost exactly same problem.. First my sternum didn't hurt, it was just clicking.. And now after a year of pain in my chest I can't take it anymore... I have paint when I put my head down, when I take deep breath in some positions.. I also feel big tension in my chest, and pressure like a elephant siting on me... It's so disturbing, I really don't know what is the problem. Can you tell me more about your experience? Which doctor should I be looking for, to maybe do some testing.. Thanks :)
@@alyferous My sternum is much better now. I am still careful of it though and I try not to make it click. But when it does click it’s not really painful.
I believe the root source of the problem was stiffness in my upper back due to too many years spent hunched over a computer or phone etc. The upper back stiffness caused the sternum to have to flex more to compensate, causing the pain.
By constantly stretching my upper back (but not enough to make the sternum click) I eventually restored the flexibility in my upper back and got better. Also, I was worse on my right side. When I stopped sleeping on my right side that helped as well.
i had to sign in to my account just so i can like this video, great video.
Thank you so much!! I hope your learned something! :D
Same for other videos but i liked this one too
I’m watching this in 2020! Thanks for the tips man 🙏! I’ve been training Muay Thai for a while now and I’ve noticed that it had a huge impact, both god and bad in my body. I also had bad posture most of my life callisthenics have really done wonders and bass for my body but I’ll heal up so I can keep doing this stuff
Thanks man, I'll stretch more and take it easy on the boxing and dips... perfect info
thanks so much! the twisting really helps. i had no idea the spine was involved. i was in a riding accident like 15 years ago where i LANDED on my sternum and did a scorpion curl over my head lmao and i've had this issue kind of ever since-- popping and stiffness, occasionally approaching pain. but the twists provided immediate relief from the stiffness! peace
Great to hear it work man!! Keep up the good work! I guess something must have healed incorrectly in those 15 years! Good luck brother! 💪
Love u bro, i was so worried about this pain finally got the reason behind this thank u
Hello , after 10-12 days , I searched for and again came back to this video only to say THANKS. IT REALLY WORKED. Very simply explains the concept and yes it helps in ur mind ti hw to not put pressure on sternum and release pressure on spine instead. I m a doctor myself suffering frm this for more than like 10-12 yrs..was even thinking fr getting x ray fr my sternum....but this video is gem
Thanks for your comment! I hope it'll heal completely!
Bro I searched for this for so long never found any solution
Decided to check out your channel from a comment on Budads Cali and found this lifesaver
I'm so glad I could help man!
I've been to the doctor and gotten an x-ray for this exact issue. If anyone is wondering, it's harmless. Don't be scared of your sternum popping, it's the same as popping any other joint in your body.
My sternum pain has been terrible after a chest press excersice I did 6 months ago. It seems to go away over time but now I realize the way I sleep on my side and chest popping has probably been making it flare up again. Thanks for the video
Thanks for your video. Finally someone that I can relate too.
I get the sternum pain when I add weight on my back (squat). In the past I would get the sternum popping sound but it subsided and when I tried squatting for the first time in a long time I had chest pain.
Dude I've had the same problem for 2 years..
EDIT : Problem solved!
I visited a physiotherapist/chiropractor and he found out that my back muscles had become so stiff over time that they ended up trapping some nerves which reflected the pain towards my sternum. So the problem wasn't even the sternum itself. The doctor experimented by giving me a couple of exercises to do which included elastic bands (theraband). The exercises included pulling , pushing and lifting the bands in order to extend the chest muscles as much as possible, so that I obtain the right posture again. Guess what .. it worked !!! The pain went away after a few moments!
Since then anytime I might have sternum pain , I do these exercises and the pain disappears.
But that's just my case. Not everyone here might have the same cause if the problem.
Hey man, I know, it really suck!
try out some of the stretches in this video: ruclips.net/video/ZI4nSMEXPmU/видео.html
Really work on having a good posture when on the computer for long periods of time. Are you working out?
TheRandomGuy I have been facing this since past 6 months. it was a result of close grip bench press (for triceps). every time I sneeze the sternum pops and it hurts like an alien trying to come out of my chest by breaking it open inside out. but I learned to reduce the pain by pressing the chest with both my hands just before I sneeze.
I feel you man same here. I haven’t worked out anymore due to the pain
TheRandomGuy d ont pop it. It makes it worse.... when I popped mine the pain got bad. When I stopped it became manageable.. I still work out bench heavy as well and do bar bell shoulder presses heavy but need to keep form on point to keep it from popping........
Same thing man I went in do the CAT scan in thought I had tumor , doctor couldn’t tell why !
You’re better than my physical therapist lmao
Hahaha! Thank you! 💪
You have one?
I did see one, but it really didn't help 🤕
This was very informative.just what I was looking for good job
Thank you for this video it will be applicable for many years into the future as I am just now getting this exact pain and popping from doing weighted dips
I had this problem a few years back, such a sharp pain that came out of no where. The first few times I thought I was having a heart attack.
I knew it was something to do with the sternun and the chest but never really thought it'd have something to do with thoracic mobility.
This happened to me a couple nights ago. I almost had my family take me to the hospital
@@QueenDaestra exactly me for the past couple days. My sternum was always cracking for the past few years, and I also had really bad posture and horrible upper back pain. My pectoral muscles in my left side hurt so bad after I went to chiropractor to get adjusted I almost cried and I honestly thought I was having a heart attack since the pain was so bad and stabbing, it took my breath away. I’m going for several more sessions at chiropractor. I did an EKG at doctors office and said everything was normal for the heart…though it sure didn’t feel like it at the time.
Thank you. My symptoms were exactly these... the popping, the tight upper back, the tightness and soreness in the chest and the soreness or tightness in the lower neck because of posture. Going to work on loosening the upper spine because my chest popping has become so frequent (multiple times per day) that I became worried. Thanks for this and I'm going to look more into it.
Do you still have it ?
I don't feel pain but it pops regularly like 3 to 4 times in a day
Pop 😭😭
Thank you for the great tips and knowledge!
awesome info man. straight and to the point
Thank you so much Robert!!
I started calisthenics recently but was facing this problem. It wasn't severely painful but enough to notice that something is off. I realized that my shoulders are somewhat rounded and doing my pushup variations with bad posture is what was causing the pain.
This is good, but I have pain sometimes where I need to crack my sternum in order for the pain to go away cause it causes discomfort just doing regular stuff. 🤔🤔 and it doesnt go away unless I crack it
@@Rahimx1 sadly no..it happens sometimes..I wasnt able to crack it and it eventually went away. But sometimes it's so much discomfort that when I can somehow crack it, it is gone the pain!
I have the same thing, but mine started when i lifted a heavy object and i heard a pop and then immense pain. Been popping and hurting ever since. Seeing a doctor tomorrow
@@Rahimx1 no..
@@briedagenais2389 good luck I have been to all the doctors and they cant help. A chiropractor was the only thing that may have helped. A thoracic surgeon didnt. A osteo doctor didnt help either
Same here how did you cure it tell me?
Great bro .
Thank uu
Its hard to find videos like this
You're welcome brother! I'm glad you came across mine then! 😊😊
Thank you very much! I just startet my recovery and you gave me some great tips!
Wow thank you so much . I broke my collar bone longboarding and it never healed right and because of this I have a winged scapula. The last month my sternum has been cracking more and more with alot of presure +pain. I know I need to strengthen the back , Its tough when its so tight and seized.
You indeed need more strength, but at the same time you also wznt to increase your thoracic spine mobility.
Thanks a lot, I just knew what I really have after seeing two doctors already who didn’t know what was going on!
I know the feeling bro! I hope my video series will help.
My sternum has been popping for years i haven’t worked out is this something that will take time to heal
@@johnnya3978 wish you speedy recovery ❤️🩹
Thanks for the advice this has been an issue for me for a while
You're welcome my friend! I hope this will help you get rid of it!
Thanks dude really needed this
you're welcome!
So true! I have this. What helped me was working rear delta, mid trap, and low trap. I had to contract my lats to target those muscles. Isometric parallel bar holds helped to. All the training I did, whether squatting or triceps, I made sure to be very careful to keep my humorous centered in its proximal joint. My chest feels tons better now but I still have more work to do.
Thank you so much for sharing this man! Recently I also realized lower and mid traps were lacking. Keeping the shoulders down and back is key for a better posture and painfree shoulder area. Good luck man!! 💪💪😊😌
Most helpful thing ive found thanks
Oh I think this is what I'm experiencing. I have to pop my sternum because the pressure builds up there and it becomes hard to move unless I pop it. And it's a little painful. I'm gonna go see a chiropractor soon, thanks for making this video!
Glad I could help you!! Please check oit my playlist on the subject for more information and also how you can do things yourself to get rid pf the pain.
Ana how is it now ?
My sternum hurt after I done cycling, this video make me culm, I thought I was having a heart attack.
Thank you for making it clear for me
Well explained! Thanks! Great help.
Glad I could help! 💪
Working on my front lever and protraction strength was pretty much the only thing that gave me both instant and long lasting relief. Hope this helps somebody else.
Thanks for sharing Oliver!
Will check this theorie out myself! 💪
The twisting thing helped me
This one still helps me out as well when things get stuck 👌😁
You’re video is quite informational and I think that it’ll really help me for the next time that I feel this tightness and pressure in my chest
Thanks man! :D
got into a bike accident around two months ago and slammed face first into a bike tire, i was sore for a week but now i still feel the pain in my sternum. this video helped me realize the problem is my posture, i didn't realize it was affecting my sternum
I’m so glad I found this. The daily pushups definitely weren’t helping
I'm glad I could help! No, daily push ups are not OK. Daily rows or face pulls would have been better.
Thanks for sharing this. It's been three months now that my thoracic spine has been having some mobility issues...like there's something stuck in the back on the left. When I twist to the left it hurts. My sternum gets tight occasionally and I feel like it needs to pop. I'm working on strengthening my back more via Pilates, but also a message therapist said I had a lot of knots in the back which were pinching a nerve. This has been going on for a wile, so maybe I need to go see a physical therapist....thoughts?
I went too, but most thing I've found myself. Because the therapist did know what it was.
Really work on your mobility, it will help you out so much! Let me know if you have any questions
Great to hear! You do need keep being mindful of your posture in order to stay painfree!
How are you now with this problm ?
Still pain? If not then what did you do to get rid of this pain?
I am facing this now
@@BarRookie hello sir where can i contact you ? I am facing problem like this..
Hey man, check out my playlist on this topic.
In short, if you have what I had, focus on thoracis spine mobility, avoid bad posture and avoid sitting for long periods of time.
Thank you so much for this video
Very helpful! Thanks bro!
I also have this problem for several months.
I believe it happened due to to jump and catching a roof. When I did it, I felt very uncomfortable at chest and lot of pain. After a while it's back to normal. Then for a year I had no issues at all.
But after that I started getting this sternum pain. I feel that pain at left of sternum.
It comes when I get up from chair, get up from bed, or bent to ground.
Then I try to expand my chest, make movements. Sometimes, those movements will give more pain, sometimes it pops or crackles. Then immediately the pain vanishes, I start feeling like where the hell it gone? I had no idea about this and it's very difficult to explain someone.
But, thanks for this video. I can show this to my parents to take it serious.
You're welcome man! As you mentioned, you get this tight feeling after a long period of inactivity. So movement is really the key (at least during the day time). I will take some time to heal, but you're going to have to put some effort into it. Good luck!! 💪
@@BarRookie What is exactly I'm supposed to do? I avoid not tracking it while I feel Sharp pain? It's not easy to avoid. please help me out its been 3 years now
Exactly, avoid cracking it, but by tackling tightness in your thoracic spine you will be able to release tension.
Wat exercise I should do please help me
my sternem pops so loudly as opening a beer bottle...does this happens with anyone...😧
It use to pop like that! Now I don't have any pops anymore!
Yes
Yes me and my sister pop our sternum all the timr.. I'm popping all over the place all the time but it doesn't cause me pain. I will warm up and that helps. Doing back bridges is good for the sternum and posterior chain.
Sometimes it sounds like a pop and sometimes it sounds like I'm cracking spaghetti
Yo Mines too but the cause of my pain is severe anxiety
Thanks I didn't know what was the cause of it and how to stop it until I saw this. Thanks, and by the way you earned a new subscriber
Yes!! Thank you so much! Good luck with the sternum! I hope you'll get better!
Thank you so much man it’s all the pain and he popping I want to do it does burn at times for sure !!!
Watching this during accounting.
I was doing reverse dips then my sternum crack or something like that. I cant lift my selft it hurts, pls help me.
The main thing you should do for the next month is to stay away from any exercise that hurts even a little bit. That is going to get rid of the inflammation.
Ag the same time I encourage you to improve your thoracic spine mobility to avoid pain like that in the future.
And then you can slowly start to test the waters.
Wow I wish I found this video months earlier. Subscribed. I had this exact issue. Recently dips haven't been as aggravating but still cause some stress on my sternum. I'll definitely work on back as you suggested.
Thanks man! :-) Also don't forget to work on your posture, that was also a big one.
Thanks. Just cracked my back and the pain almost completely went away in my chest. Never thought that the issue could be my back!
+Tim Lawrence great man! That was really something that blew my mind as well!
I was popping my sternum for fun and now it's pretty tender and sore. I hope this goes away I fucked up
I know the feeling! When I first could do that it was all fun and giggles, until after a couple of months the inflamation started to kick in! FIRST STEP, STOP POPPING it. That was a great healer for me!
How's it going? I did the pop that pushed mone over the edge , here I am over a year later with daily issues with my sternum and no one is able to help. Thoracic surgeon, osteo doctor, no one...
I do believe you done messed up.
I got better pretty soon after. I can’t even crack my sternum anymore. Not worth it anyways but starting out it was suuuper satisfying
Thank you for this!
Thanks for the video. I started feeling the heart attack sensation about two months ago when I started going back to the gym after covid shut down my gyms (I didn’t go back right away bc I didn’t feel safe). I worked up to my pre covid weights, but I felt this awful chest pain out of nowhere. Started using a lacrosse ball to do my daily stretches. I think my posture worsened from working from home and sitting on my folding chair all day long. I’m hunched over my computer 9 hours a day, so definitely does not help. Looking forward to taking some time to figure out my situation and recovering from this...I want to bench without this awful pain. If anyone reads this long comment, remember to stretch!
Have u recovered yet?
@@spooderman406 no not 100% yet. I am doing much better with routined stretching before and after workouts. My gym has a pvc pipe that I can use to stretch with-my chest feels better when I twist my body side by side holding on to the pipe. I also use an ab crunch ball (big rubber ball) and roll myself down, my butt close the floor and chest up high. I’m sure costochondritis is a unique, case by case condition, but these two stretches get me through my days. I am stronger than I was before, so I guess I learned to live with a mild, residual pain from costo.
@@forbiddenguesthey have you recovered? How long did it take
Helpful thank you! I have been having sternum issues for over a year now and my doctor doesn't believe me when I say I have chest pain. I will be asking about this now and I reaaaalllyyy think this could be the problem.
Good luck Kelsey! I hope it will get better soon. At least now you know what might cause it.
I feel the urge to pop my sternum often, and typically the discomfort goes away right after I pop it. Well last night after sitting over the computer for a solid hour (of course) I felt the need to pop it. I put my arms back behind me and popped it, but then noticed that the pain did NOT go away. I had a buddy try to help my stretch my chest (always helped before), to no avail. I woke up this morning, hoping the discomfort would be gone after a night of rest, but nope. Still there, and worse. I can't even do a single push up without Intense sternum pain. Not one. I can rock out 90+ with no pain, but now I can't do a single one. Not even with my knees on the ground. Working out is my life and I am super anxious and getting depressed that I won't get better quick, and won't be able to work out (especially after reading experience reports on different forums saying how the pain/discomfort lasts for months to years!!) ... I yiyiyiya! Any advice on exercises that I still Can do to avoid the sternum pain or more exercises or supplementation (including nsaid anti immflamatory drugs eg.ibuprofen) that might help. I feel like pull-ups, chin-ups will hurt which sucks. I guess it's time to focus on lower body more. I should be able to hit arms too .sorry for rambling bud, just worried as hell. Thanks for the video and have a great day.
-Scuba
Hey man, I was really anxious of that happening as well. I had it happen too, I popped my sternum hoping the pain was going away, but it didn't. Try some exercises from my latest video on the subject:
ruclips.net/video/ZI4nSMEXPmU/видео.html
Really focus on a good posture and get a standing desk if at all possible. The pressure always builds up after long periods of sitting (for me).
BarRookie thank you so much for the videos and quick response bud!! The posture change helped incredibly. ALSO, I hung with full body slack from a pull up bar, and it immediately helped. Stretched it out so that I could feel my sternum depressurize, and felt much better right away. Chest is sore to touch, but I can tell (hopefully) that I won't be one of the month/year long cases that I was worrying about. Thanks again man. Take care!
So glad to hear your positive responds man! I hope you can get rid of it completely! When you start working out again, take it really slow. You want your body to strengthen itself. For example when I got back to the military press I started with 8 kilos and every week I added 2.5 kgs. No need to rush things!
Good luck Brother!
Matthew Greaver hey man, are you better now? I currently have the exact same problem as you explained above. Could you please share some tips which helped you during the course. Also did the injury went away for good or it still bothers frequently. I'm so tensed right now. I do not want to stop working my chest as I'm cutting for a contest prep rn.
i have the same problem literally all the same shit you did. excercise push through it. with pain, i also do boxing and jujitsu , jujitsu made the pain worse at times unbearable. but you need to work out chest excercises every day every day. not every 3 days every day
Thank for the information 🙏🏾
You're welcome brother!!
Yes. Overhead press seems to be giving me this issue. Thanks. I will switch to dumbel rows and pull-ups for now.
That is a wise decision man! You can slowly introduce OHP back once the inflammation has lessened.
Good luck my friend!
Yeah I will never do dips ever again now that my sternum is screwed. Shame, I really enjoyed dips.
Same here brother. Maybe with bands you can slowly work them up again?!
Dips ruined everything since i injured myself 1 year ago while doing dips(not even weighted) i cant do push ups or bench press anymore without pain in my chest and i dont even think its my sternum it feels more like the attachment of the pec to the sternum like its about to tear off or something.
@@FRElHEIT same
It’s very common that the top rib sometimes slips under the collar bone and gets stuck.
And what causes the rib to do that? This must mean something is not doing its job very well
How do you get it unstuck😦
Thank You for the useful information, I'm struggling with a sternum fracture. I got it from a inproper muscle up, i smashed my sternum towards the pull up bar and got fractured. at first i thought that it's nothing serious so i kept on doing calisthenics, and it got worse and worse. now it's been a month since I'm not training and it still hurts like crazy.
Thank You again.
Edit: I misunderstood the situation. I just ended up with costochondritis. no fracture, just exaggeration
I've been doing dips and my sternum is poping a lot. I'm glad I searched this before I started feeling pain.
Might want to step away for a while and focus on things that don't agrevate your sternum! 😊
When I’m lying on my side my sternum pops as I breathe and I can’t fall asleep.
Basically I can’t sleep on my side and it’s very annoying in a relationship.
Hi man, do you sit a lot during the day?
Inactivity and poor posture can be a huge contributor to sternum pain.
The creator asked you a question you probably didn’t see the notification
Hahaha, the "creator" 🤣 yeah those notifications on youtube sometimes get lost very fast.
I have this. It sucks rn. How are you recovering?
It sucks indeed, recovery is going great. I find that my sternum hurts more when I sit for long periods of time because then my posture has the tendency to not be so great.
mitchscene096 have you recovered yet?
Best way!!! I am alright now thanks a lot
So glad to hear that! Take care bro! 👊
man... thats some good quality information there
Thanks my friend!
my posture is mostly slouching... I guess I will start working on that
I had the same bro! You don't realise these things until something goes wrong or hurts.
just last month i had to go to the ER i could not move i even needed my mom to help me in the car as well as it being hard to breath
i have chronic costochondritis as well as asthma.....i tried doing see of this but still having lots of pain and tightness sometimes....
Hey, you really need to make a habbit out of it. And be consistent in your mobility drills.
Gavriella Rutigliano start taking glucosamine tablets you can get it at Costco or samsclub..
Damn I did the left right thing and already helped a bit. Thanks
thank u very much. and may god bless.. u were a great help
You're welcome my friend!
My sturnum is giving me so many problems right now. When I wake up from sleeping on my side is when it sets it off and I cant even hardly stretch because it hurts so bad. It feels like I need to pop it and when I do it only makes it worse and my whole torso is utterly stiff. I hate this shit. I've been dealing with it off and on for about a year now. I think I'm ready to go see my doctor. I should have done that a while ago
Hey man, I know the feeling. The first thing IMO is to address posture throughout your daily life. I'm not saying this will be the case for you, but we sit too much and for too long and this hurts our posture. This can cause a lot of tightness around the chest area.
Were you able to get any assistance from your doctor? what was the medication recommended just to stabilize it, I'm literally struggling to sleep this pain is not easy to avoid. been years now.
i always tried to pop my sternum when its in pain..now i know that i shouldnt ..thank u
Good job! Is it helping with the pain?
damn, that's what i did too - purposely popping my sternum to relieve the pain and soreness. i stopped that now and am using ketoprofen patches for longer relief. heading to the doctor soon to check out what's wrong.
Your awesome thank you so so much man you Connected the dots for me right here
You're welcome brother glad I could help!! :D
Thank god i subscribed you. .looking for this video
I also feel pain when i deep breathe . Dis you face the same ?
How did you heal?
I am suffering from this pain for last 6 months.i have to pop my sternum to get relief.but after popping it i dont able to cure it perfectly.and the pain remains same.
So can you give me some advise or exercise according to my pain.
Hi, thanks for watching my video. I feel what you are going through. In short, you need to creat mobility in the thoracic spine and work on your posture when sitting. Some great exercises that I did you can find in my sternum pain playlist. Please check them out and try some of the exercises!
I'm happy to answer your questions if you still have any! 👌💪
Thanks dude ur advice us priceless
Thanks man, appreciate the comment! Glad I could help!
Thank you big help👌🏿
You're welcome! ☺
My sternum was really sore after I woke up from sleeping. I had to put my hands over my head and snap my neck back to pop it and release the pain.
Thankfully it’s gone down, now I only feel it when I sneeze sometimes
Popping the sternum does bring relief. but know it is only shortterm. In the long run you don't want to do this. It is not like a fingerjoint.
OMG I get the same thing
Bro this is exactly my problem
How is it going bro? Any better right now?
My sternum started to tear and pop every day. I literally do push ups and dips every single day. And I can’t do that anymore?! 😱 they were working so well for me. Thanks for this video though I’m so glad I took the time to find it.
DEEP dumbell pullovers keeping the hips low really helps with this, it forces you into a lot of exstension, and streatches out your sternum! It helped me a lot
Funny how my doctor said that it will go away after 3 to 6 months and I should exercise even though it hurts to keep it moving. I'm going to follow your advice instead because experience beats everything.
Thanks man! My experience taught me that inflammation injuries never just go away. You need to find the root cause and address that. Let me know how it goes and good luck!
the dude in the video said work out doctor said work out .....
so this is not soooo serious right?the pain and the popping?
Well it is serious because if you continue you might hurt yourself longterm. It's not serious in the sense that you do something about it to prevent it and to cure it.
alright thanks a lot bro 😄
when I squat I put the bar on my neck! maybe that's the reason for the popping
This might indeed cause unnecessary tension in your thoracic spine. Try to put the bar on your upper traps instead of your neck. You'll be a lot more stable
Thanks for your response!👍
I will correct my form
subbed 👍
really helpful video! in my case i popped my sternum doing dips a few months ago, and now i feel pain when im resting but not when training, do you think it's all the same problem?
i felt it lately i think the pull ups its the cause of that pain , when i was lifting my body i was putting a lot of pressure .
thank you for the explanation ...
Felt it also when I was doing pull ups in the beginning. Try keeping your scapula retracted during the pull up, that will take a lot of pressure off of your sternum. Hope it helps!
who else is watching this while eating a watermelon?
I laughed so hard on this comment xD Guess your the only one 😂😂😂
WTF I'm literally eating a watermelon right now....

Wtf

There aren't even watermelons at this time of the year. Or you are eating synthetic watermelons which are very unhealthy.
I had to stop watching at 1:17 The sympathy pains was too much....
Thanks,... I guess ;-)
This was actually really helpful
I'm happy this video could mean something to you! 😊
BRO I have been trying to figure out why my chest is building up pressure and popping (for about 2-3 years now) and when it started it hurt like a constricting pain quite badly 4/10 chronic pain level. now it pops with no pain but it pops SO LOUDLY?! and I have realized I learned in high school about posture causing the chest to constrict and the back muscles to grow in the hunched position and now that is how I am. You have made me realize that my recent corrections to my posture is not something to brush off and that I should very seriously keep my posture straight especially when working out. Thank you for helping me figure out what this weird problem was
Jesus Christ is Lord, repent and be saved
Thanks I guess!
I learned something! It makes sense. If something is causing my thoracic area to lock then ofcourse the sternum would move or compensate and become inflamed...thank you so much for this.
I went to do all kinds of checkouts but doctor weren’t be able to tell why; one time I thought I had tumor with widened mediastinum, then I went to do the MRI，turns out it’s just residual thymus , it’s been more than three years , still not fix my urge to twist my chest and crack problem until I saw your video, I’m going to try the exercise you named , thanks !
Thanks for the content. Normally I don't feel my sternum with bench press even at 95% 1RM, is that an exercise to avoid? If it is, what's the 1rm percent I should work on? I do feel the joint with the other exercises you mentioned, specially the OP, dips aren't on my programming 3 months ago
