Pec strain recovery log

[ridge_forrester]

Strained my pec last week. Going to just chronicle my recovery and maybe see what happens beyond that.

Felt a dull pain in my pec/shoulder while doing parallel bar dips. No bruising or swelling.

Recovery so far
Day 1: Couldn't bench 2kg dumbbells without pain
Day 2: Bench 40x30 reps; 10kg flyes
Day 3: Bench 50x12; cable flye 6kg x 30

No pain any more, but just stopping when I feel any tightness in my pec while lifing.

Tons of warming up
Massage

High cable flyes
3kg x 30
6kg x 30
8kg x 30

Bench
20, 30, 40, 50 x 20 reps, no tightness
60 x 7 - started to tighten up, called it there

Stupidly light weights and high reps. Things seem to be improving slowly bit by bit.

Will take the weekend off from exercise and continue stretching and massage.

I guess this'll be the shortest recovery log ever? Didn't feel any tightness or pain today, but also didn't want to push things past 100 since I could only do 60kg for a few the other day.
