Wait, are you solely basing this so called "strain" or aka "pull/tear" off how your left pec looks and by the fact that your bench numbers have gone down not by a single event or accident or pain in the chest?????
Because a pec tear or strain is FELT before it is ever seen and it is most common to happen when benching, but you'd feel it immediately!!!!
A strain or pull/tear, feels like a charlie horse..
There is tightness, tenderness and loss of strength immediately.
I looked up pec tear and symptoms there of, here is some other listed symptoms
* Pain in the chest and upper arm
* Weakness in pushing the arms out in front of the body
* Bruising in the chest and arm
* A dimpling, or pocket, formed just above the arm pit where the rupture occurred
A "strain" is just a mild tear, so you'd be experiencing the above symptoms on a milder scale. Are you still sure of your diagnosis??????
