pulled lat

[CMW403]

I pulled my lat today at the y. I was doing the barbell military press and I was repositioning while I pumped when it pulled. Its not horribly bad, but it really hurt. I went for a walk and now I'm icing/ heating. I also too 3 400mg advils. Is there anything else I should be doing?

I'm more worried about being out of commission and unable to exercise for a long time. How long does it usually take for a lat to heal?

Thanks guys

I've never really heard of anyone pulling a lat. Not only that, your upper back is like the only thing that can't really be overworked so that's kind of weird.

Ice, advil, eat lots, stretching/foam rolling (don't stretch too much/too long that will just make it worse.)

There's nothing you can really do about strained/pulled muscles except for message/stretch/foam roll. No one can tell you how long it will take to heal because there's so many variables.
