I was working out yesterday, and my last set was 65 lb
bench press on smith machine, I have been doing this for
only 2 weeks now, really hard to lift but I usually get
a good 7 out of it. This time I had a pain on my left
chest, anyone ever get that. Did I lift too much, Im
115 lbs, not super strong. Maybe a pull in my muscle any
suggestions?

Is it tender or puffy? Ice it and if it continues to hurt, make a doctor's appt. Could be you pulled it, but could be worse...

Actually I did ice it, it is still a little sore, thought I would not work chest for 2 weeks hopefully that will work and if it still sore I will see a doctor. I think I
just pulled it. Thanks
