π¨ That pop on the bench press could be your pec tendon tearing β and it's more serious than most lifters realize.
Pain, sudden bruising, and weakness after a heavy chest press are the classic signs of a pectoralis major tendon rupture. Full ruptures are often best repaired early β before the tendon retracts and repair becomes far more complex.
Don't train through it. Don't "wait and see." Get evaluated β fast.
