Anyone ever hurt their rib doing these? I felt a very sharp pain about a month ago and it still hurts me . It felt like I popped a rib . It’s definitely getting better and I’m training through it but it bothers me

the 8th , 9th and 10th pairs of our ribs are what's called vertebrochondral ribs , these are our "false ribs"

they do not attach to the sternum per se like the rest do , these pairs attach to the 7th pair only.

the 11th and 12th pairs are our floating ribs , they do not attach to the sternum in any way.

It is possible going deep on a leg press that you've "popped" one of these.

In this case a "pop" isn't really a broken rib it would be a tear or break in the cartilage attaching or between the ribs causing it to move in an irregular way causing discomfort.

Get the MRI dude , i got a 10th grade GED , I aint no Dr haahahah

I've seen many guys in the joint do that. Drop that too far down and do something to bottom rib with pain wrapping around back. Trolly should see the doc. Better safe than sorry
