    So I went and did it…I injured myself deadlifting.

    I recently started doing deads again so I was slowly making my way back up the weight rack. I was doing good, pull about 85% of my 1RM, I'm good and golden from bottom of the pull to top and at the very top I remembered to keep and make sure everything was tight so I squeezed my shoulder blades together probably pushing my chest out making me lean back a bit more and then I heard it *snap* or kinda like a crunching sound like when you bite the cartilage off a chicken bone. It shocked my whole body, and I let the weight down slowly while trying to breathe.

    It felt like I could only breathe half way before feeling more pain.

    I put everything away playing it off the best I could and was pissed that I injured myself that I had to just finish with the rest of my pull day so I did finished up a decent bicep work out and left with my tail between my legs.

    So now I'm hurting, in the middle of my spine, it hurts to drive, to sit, to walk, to breathe. I can bare it but it's annoying. I think the disappointment hurts more at the moment though.

    Go get it checked out buddy- you don't want to make it worse by not knowing what's going on. Sucks big time.

    Thanks everyone. I'll go get it checked out, but should I go to my pcp or like a chiropractor since he deals with spines and alignment etc?

    I might be foolish to ask this but should I keep lifting as long as I can handle it? No deads of course or should I just rest everything?

    While I am an advocate of chiropractors IMHO u need a MRI and at least an X-ray to truly see what's going on. Last thing u wanna do is see a chiro if shit is damaged....u can do more damage then help by getting adjusted.

    It's hard to say what you may have done without knowing all the specifics. It sounds to me like you popped the cartilage in between your ribs. It's pretty common with lifters especially if you're wearing a belt very tight. You still want to get it looked it though.

    Also, you should have your shoulders "back" when you pull. You shouldn't finish the pull by extending your back. You finish your pull by shooting your hips. A very big difference.

    Mri man. Chiropractor are good for putting things back in place, however without physical therapy and tightening around the injured area a chiropractor will be a continual visit that will eventually leave you lame. As every time something pops back into the initial injury area so to speak it will create a bigger pocket and eventually a disabling injury. Physical therapy tightens up and rehabs the injured area. Will never be the same but better than not walking.
    When I die I want to be called a friend or family member by everyone I came into contact with!!!
