I suffered a shoulder/ upper chest injury playing rugby 2 weeks ago - nothing serious, probably a hyper extension or knock (not sure, it hurt next day!) and since then all my upper body lifts have been a bit crap. This has been especially noticeable during bench press and fly's. Now, all the pain has gone, even after a workout, so I assumed my muscles were fine, but ever since then I've been struggling with lifts which were quite easy pre-injury. I guess the obvious thing is to leave it for a week or so, but does anyone know how long a muscle will take to heal?

Recovery is all down to the individual and their lifestyle, don't overdo it and take it easy for a while?
