Torn Pec Muscle

My trainer had my doing some tricep dips, and I tore my pec muscle. I heard it pop - he thought I was having a heart attack, but I assured him, it was "only" a muscle. It is not a major tear, and is right at the breastbone, so when I breathe deeply, it hurts. Let's hope it gets better in a couple of weeks so I don't have to do the whole physical therapy thing. Typically it is a "guy jock" injury. Does this make me, a formerly morbidly obese, post menopausal woman, a jock?

Meanwhile I'm doing my ab exercises with my hands across my chest to protect my muscle, and my trainer is working my legs.

I've never been a jock before, always the kid who was fat and couldn't keep up. This will show them!

Ouch, ouch, ouch!!!

I had a tear on the side of my chest wall - lots and lots of pain!!! OTOH, it got me insurance coverage for my arms, since my batwings were preventing it from healing well!
