omg its so nice to see im not alone with this problem. its so annoying on a daily basis. thank you for your video
You're welcome brother!! Hope you'll get rid of it soon!
Woke up with this pain in my sternum today. Was kind of alarming but then I remembered I’ve been doing WAY more heavy lifting than usual 🤦♂️ it’s a relief to see there are others in the same boat 😅🤦♂️
It's your body's way of saying you need to back off a bit 😉
The best explanation ever. I was searching for this question for like 2 days and finally found this video!
Thanks brother! I hope it helped!
This is great advice even if you don’t lift. I had a sudden sternum/back injury doing yoga and was getting better the last couple of days. Then today I made a very normal reach that turned out to be a false move and now it’s injured worse, I’m afraid. I was so worried I won’t be able to exercise at all until this heals. But I was hoping if I can find exercises that don’t cause me pain in my sternum, I can continue to do those. Really great video, man!
Thanks man really good video. Very informative, and reinforced what I am trying to do for therapy. I'm slowly building things up and building up strength around the injuries. Over time things are getting better.
You can't do press ups if you have a sternum injury , if you have a sternum injury you have to rest and stop lifting until it heals , then when you start lifting you have to lift light weights and build up over the weeks , Dips are lethal for sternum pain and injury
I typically let my body decide what to do. If it hurts stay away from it. And as you said, build back up slowly 😉
Thank you my guy Rookie! I did a ton of incline push up today and it didn't hurt. It feels nice to get things get going again and hopefully things would go back normal.
Great to hear! It seems like you are on the right track to be pain free again. Really admiring your patience and perseverance.
@@BarRookie Could not have done it without your guidance and help brother.🤜🤛
So glad I could help man! ☺️
Hi Yaozu Li,
I’ve seen your comments on another video as well (on of Steve Augusts) and I assume that you also deal with costochondritis? I am 2 months in and bought the back pod last week. How is your recovery going? What did you do to recover more than using the back pod for a few weeks? Did you also get pain in chest when doing brisk longer walks? I get that. (6,7,8 km and it starts to hurt). Thankful for an in depth recovery comment from you. This condition sucks, and we all want to help each other to get rid of it and be pain free (: much love // Arvid
@@arvidschwartz3412 Yes my friend, I totally agree with you that this condition really sucks. I do have costochondritis and I would say that I am like 95% pain free now (I would still have a stuck feeling in my sternum after I sit for a long period of time, but it doesn't really hurt now). The backpod was the major thing that helped me to recover, because it really did help me to open up my rib cage and break free of the collagen. Right now I am using it around 2-3 times per day, 1 time in the morning, 1 time after a fully day of working in front of the computer, and 1 time before I go to sleep.
Something that I did other than the back pod was the twisting exercise and lat stretching that Dr. August have shown in his video (costo part 2), and Rookie here made a video on those stretching and exercise too, you can go check them out. Keeping your posture is also very important, because it helps to prevent your rib cages from being stuck again. It will be hard for you to always keep a good posture in the beginning, but if you are conscious about it, your brain will adjust and you will be able to keep a good posture without the need to think about it (it would take about a week maybe).
I haven't really go outside much since the pandemic is so bad, and if brisk walking hurts for you after like 6 km, then you can shrink down the distance so that you are only walking 5 km or less, then you can slowly build it back up to walk for a longer distance. It would definitely take like at least a month for you to recover, but you will see good results after using the back pod. I am like 4 months in and I am still working on it (well I done goof sometimes and I flare it up, and I kind of like didn't use the backpod correctly in the first 2 months since I wasn't really pressing on the rib cage part , it is between your scapula and your thoracic spine, you can go ahead and google an image about scapula to know where you should stretch on). I am working on it to be 100% cure, and I think I will cured soon.
This video that Bob and Brad post have really helped me, and here is the link ruclips.net/video/1CImipDDRrc/видео.html . And you can also check out Rookie's other video about sternum pain, they are really helpful for me as well. I looked through everywhere for help, and if you haven't yet then you can also comment under Dr. August's video about your situation, and he might give you more information and he will answer your question.
Good luck my friend, stretch out your rib cage with the backpod, do the twisting and stretching exercises, keep a good posture, reduce the walking distance for now, go check out Rookie, Bob and Brad, and Dr. Steve's video, and you shall be fine.
Much love,
- Yaozu
I've had this for more than a year now. I used to do dips and pushed myself too hard too soon and that caused Costochondritis. It's been more than a year since I've worked out and miss hitting the gym in fear of getting it again. I'll try your technique.
Same bro I got costochondritis 5 months ago and I feel defeated did it work out for you ?
My answer to you is that I stopped because I had open heart surgery. Now I want to know "When can you start WORKING OUT again?" I am 5 weeks after surgery. Please don't tell me to talk to my doctor. That is not a valid answer. You may say everyone heals differently. You may have a point, however I feel comfortable lifting very light weights maybe half a gallon of milk or less.
You are my savior endless dips and push ups sternum pain for me too !
Wow, so I actually need to go back from the beginning again... It's gonna be fun😅
I work everything out except chest since my sternum was injured but it still hasn’t fully healed after 4 months. I want it to heal but I don’t want my gains to leave. Advice?
Just wondering, are you fully healed now? What was the process like and was it just resting and let it self heal?
I was doing bench press and the bar fell on my sternum, im still recovering, tho im still going to the gym doing arms and legs
how are you doing right now? Good of you that you've found a way to work around your injuries!! :-)
What did you do for recovering ?
And how much it had taken for full recovery?!
@@qusaiabdelnasser1141 fr
Bump
Thanks for the advice! Ive been stuck with this thing for almost 3 months now and it seems to be getting worse instead of better lol. I'll try doing some elevated push ups and see if it helps
Hey Annette, I hope you’ll get over your sternum pain! It is all about slow progress. Also, if you’ve been sitting a lot lately, that might not do you any good in the sternum area.
Try really to watch that posture.
@@BarRookie Thanks, I'll keep that in mind! I did some pain-free push ups recently, no sights of worsening so far so im in good hopes
That is so great! Now it is important not to rush things, steady progress wins the race. Good luck Annette 💪💪
did it help
@@MJ-1-1 yeah im doing normal push ups now with no pain. Still a bit afraid to try dips but i might start doing them soon too. It absolutely works just do it with caution
for me ez barbell pullovers make it really really bad . I never had things for the past 25 years but i have reached 45 now and joints are the same . I suffer from knee issues, neck issues and sternum issues and i just hurt my biceps on close grip weighted chin up .
Got really painful sternum pain everytime i move. Which doesn't make sense since i only did arms today....
You should look into your daily life outside of the gym. Are you sitting a lot with bad posture? Are you using your phone a lot?
my pain was mild now there is no pain but my chest cracks and makes popping/cracking sound daily. should I go to gym?
Why did you stop training?
Me: because it hurts like hell bro.
I understand brother! But you don't your sternum to train legs for example 😉
@@BarRookie doing squats will put pressure on your back , ribs and chest it's all conected.
@@davidai9024 I'm looking at this with a fractured sternum. I have not moved passed walking yet (day three!) I hate it though....I love exercises!!!
@@happyhippylouwhat happened? Are you fully recovered by now?
Good point, but it is all about finding what doesn't hurt. For me squats were just fine.
My sternum pain comes after I workout. During the workout, I don’t feel it
Maybe warming up the area with some light movement might help. Or some stretching after
Really appreciate all that u've done to educate us about this uncomfortable condition. Are u a 100% pain free? Like can u now do dips?
My sternum pain is mostly at its peak when i wake up or i breath deep. Plus, doing dips make it worse, so i stopped doing it but still in the morning and during breathing there is a problem. What should be done?
Stopping dips i s already a good start. Check out my other videos where I talk about how to correct posture and where I show some exercises.
itsalmost the same to me. In the morning the pain is there and then its gone
Idk no exercises make it hurt it’s just when I press on the midddle on my chest it kinda hurts and idk what caused it. The only time it hurts is when I press on it.
Maybe it's just an inflammation, try searching for over the counter anti-inflammations
Max Potter do you think my sternum is fractured or would it be more noticeable
Try not pressing on it, and let us know the results!
same bro did you find anything?
Young Z yeah I took a couple days off. I think I stretched it wrong or something but it eventually went away.
Hi barrookie,so currently i have sternum pain and the cause is dips i guess, so i have now stop workout for like a weak and the pain is on ,and when i do push ups it hurts very lightly for the first 2-4 reps (that if i didn't warm up) and goes away ,so do i continue or should i stop do push ups?
I see that you already give the proper solution to your problem.
Try to warm up before doing anything you know is going to hurt. If after a warm-up it doesn't hurt, you can continue.
@@BarRookie
Does deep push up aggravate the sternum pain?
Indeed, the deeper you go, the bigger the risk.
@@BarRookie
Do straight bar dip aggravate the sternum? Does it train the same musculature ?
i had no pain during the weight lifting session then the chest ache came on after but it may have been aggravated initially from tennis (all the rotation). I had then taken months off of tennis (no weights) but now it is back after playing tennis again and now a few weight lifting sessions. Problem is I don't know what specific exercise is causing the issue other than the tennis. It might be costochondritis - i am going to try a backpod type tool i think there could be dysfunction somewhere so it keeps coming back.
What if I tore a ligament in my sternum? Can I do exercises that don’t hurt it?
I think this principle holds true for almost all injuries. But if you're unsure, consult your doctor first.
Brother, i had Costochondritis two years ago. It was cured and now i started doing gym again and pain started again. It pops in my sternun when i try to move my arms ups or i raise my hands in upward direction and feels like sharp pain in middle of chest. What i need to do. I want to go gym again its just 4th of Costochondritis coming again i stopped doing exercise's
everytime i do push up my sternum hurt for about 30 seconds and it go away and it didnt that much tho...
do i need to stop?
I would try and incline push up instead for now. Otherwise you will keep aggrevating it!
I am suffering! I need to work out again. Send help.
Did yoy watch the video?
I@BarRookie I did! I started with basic stretches yesterday after I watched this video. Slowly start back at it now.
I wrestle should I take a week off for my bruised sternum to heal my schools trainer said I don’t need to take a week off
This pain makes me suicidal. I really hope something ends my pain
Mirind A try cbd man
yyj690 fuck that shit. I got the backpod. I’ll be cured soon
Mirind A you doing good?
@@mirinda8169 how are you bro,please tell if that 80 dollars got your pain awat
@@mirinda8169 What is the back pod like? Has it helped you?
How much it takes to full recovery from this injury?
Once I knew what I was doing, about a month of 3. Its all about changing your bad posture habbits IMO.
have u been rocovered???
Hey, I too have a weird issue with my sternum! Whenever I try to do any upper body movement (even pull Ups) I feel a pressure on my sternum (not a pain). It feels better when I Crack my upper back. It goes away for a few weeks and then it returns again. Do you think it's costo?
It could be my friend. Especially because costo is also tied into the upper back.
Do you still have sternum pain to this day?
Hi. How long did you rest completely after injuring the sternum ? Without working out.
when i got costochondritis i cant even do 1 push up or 1 pull up now i can do 5 pullup and 10 pushup but i still cant do dips🤣
@@bolof0262 how long did you not work
Out until you started doing push up ?
@@TaalibNaushad 2 months of rest plus i do some stretch and breathing techniques and i take vitamin C + zinc and vitamin E, And i go to the sunlight for vitamin D for 15 minutes
@@TaalibNaushad you can try putting a pillow in your back when your lying down to fix your posture and stretch the ribcage so your body will get used to stretch so when you do some movement it work hurt as much
@@bolof0262 thank you.
How did u fix it?.... im dying
Hey man, check out my other videos. Basically, you want to open up your thoracic spine by massaging those muscles and correct your posture for lasting effect.
hey man...are u okay now?
@@andibobi6764 its little better took some vitamins helped little bit
@@MySteamcracker what kinda of vitamins, 3 months with this injury
@@ZinoNassib Took D vitamin, but tbh the pain is still there. I will try omega 3 now
How many days sternum pain goes? Plss sir rply
It could go away within weeks if you apply the right steps!
@@BarRookie its been 3 months but it didn't go 😢
Damn man! What are you currently doing to get rid of it?
@@BarRookie only breathe exercise sir
Have you tried any of the stretches I show in these videos?
You should really work on posture and thoracic spine mobility and see if this improves anything.
even elevated pushups hurt!!! what should i do?
You’re going to have to work on freeing up the zrea around the should first before continuing your training with push ups.
I'm 17 and this shit annoys the hell out of me
