abdominal strain? i hope.
Today I was going for a workset of 375 on deadlift and when i tried to pull I felt a sharp pain on my left top part of my rips in the stomach area. There is no bulging out or anything of the sort so I doubt it is a hernia. Suggestions? I'm thinking just rest and probably skip deadlift or power clean for a week? anyone else ever have this happen? could it also be belt position or wrong breathing?

It took like 6 weeks for mine to be close to fully healed. I did what I could, deadlifts bothered it too much, but squatting was fine. Benching was ok, but if bar hit my chest it felt like murder.

What changes did you make ultimately ?

I didn't change anything permanently. I couldn't deadlift at all for 4 weeks, after that I started back up lighter and moved up quickly. With bench I had to be super careful to not let the bar hit my sternum for 6 weeks. If it started hurting and got worse I stopped. If it started hurting, but didn't get worse, I continued and watch it closely.
