Hey guys.

My brother's chest hurts during pull-ups and he says it's his bone and not the muscle.

It happens every time he does pull-ups (not just a one time incident).

I didn't have any idea what to tell him. I figured someone might have had a similar experience and could give me possible ideas.

Sternum, ribs, intercostals..

Thanks!

ive had a similar condition where ive strained something or other around my chest n doctors have said this;

Musculoskeletal Causes
The chest contains many muscles, bones, tendons, and cartilage (the rubbery tissue that connects muscles and bones). Strains or sprains to any of these can cause chest pains. Chest pains associated with musculoskeletal injury are typically sharp and confined to a specific area of the chest. They may be brought on by movement of the chest and/or arms into certain positions, and often are relieved by changing position. These pains can be triggered by pushing on part of the chest and often become worse when taking a deep breath. These pains usually last only seconds, but can persist for days

good possibility that its this

Thanks Lil big jr. I'll see if it helps changing positions and a few days rest.
