finally a post about this. very rare injury, but it's what ended markus ruhl's career...
to the original poster, i think ur fine. most people have a small gap in the middle of their lower sternum, arnold did for example, same with dorian yates. if its a tear, u would probably know, as ur chest would look quite abnormal. post a pic of urself anyway and lets see if u should worry or not.
Well mine isn't an injury. I posted this in another area and it got moved in here. I was born with my chest like this and have never had it looked at by a doctor because it's just normal to me, no health problems at all from it.



The pictures show it worse than it actually is....
