Im just a normal guy, don't work out or regularly do physical, hard work. I have been a removalist and arborist (which involved moving large felled trees that have been cut into big chunks) for 12-18month stints here and there and walk for maybe 2 hours or more per day, maybe do things slightly physically harder than they need to be, and so on and so forth. Point being, Ive never worked out consciously, but for a person who doesnt put in a lot of conscious effort I've done and do a little more than an average inactive person.
Im also lucky enough to seem to condition pretty easily and do have a half decent chest and pecs for someone who puts in such little effort.
Now that said and done I can get to the reason for the post.
This may sound silly, but personal lived experience makes me unable to shake this suspicion.
I suffer particularly bad acid build-up. Can't seem to shake it no matter what my diet and its always a little uncomfortable and painful. In recent times it seems to be getting worse, with a consatnt pressure feeling to burrow its way allthe way through to my back. Simultaneously though I'm starting to develop a bit of pec separation in what feels like the identical area where this painful pressure persists.
I may be mad, or it may be a coincidence, but it's absolutely uncanny to a point I'd be curious to hear if other people with the issue also suffer from bad acid buildup.
It's possible that it's doing the sort of damage suggested here.

I have the answer to this mysterious condition:

it is a muscle tear of the medial part of the pectoralis major muscle. So a tear at the sternum. It can tear apart in the lower, mid and upper parts. Most common are tears in the lower and mid sections. As seen in Picture 4 here: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00064-018-0577-1#Fig4

The nerve damage makes a lot of sense but for maybe another reason. Wrestlers over the course of their career take a lot of chops to the chest. They are basically slaps. Some performed harder then others. Some of those hard ones repeated over time I could see possibly causing nerve damage. In the case of Chris Jericho who may also fall under this same nerve damage I might have another suggested reason. Part way through his career he started to get a little chubby and in turn changed some diet and also turned to DDPY a type of yoga as his main resistance training. If what Jericho said is true and he made that his main form of resistance training then it his body weight would likely be less then when he was using weights. This may have caused it to cave in. I tend to see it out of quite a few older wrestlers who have taken some time off. Time off may support the Jericho theory as they may be inclined to work out less or in a different way. Everything I said is speculation but I feel there is logic behind it!!!!

It's related to muscle insertion points…what they're doing IDK…but I bet the insertions into his sternum grew in length causing the muscle belly to suffer

The problem I have was the nerve theory is the nerve damage would have to be exactly the same bilateral to get the same atrophy and damage on both sides. The odds of that are astronomical. The muscle simply is not there and attaches at a different spot. Literally the origin of the muscle belly is in a different spot that sounds to me like something that messes with collagen metabolism on the sternum.we all know growth hormone and even steroids to a certain extent can increase collagenous growth. So if you can take cartilage and make it spread by constantly pulling on it by training and your body makes extra collagen because of the drugs you're taking that makes this possible without nerve damage.there's no way the nerve damage is the same on both sides.Not when other people have the same injury and it looks the same. I have studied bodybuilding and kinesiology neurology and endocrinology for the last 30 years. This is the most logical explanation I can come up with because again a A nerve impingement or a muscle injury the exact same on both sides unless you just rip it off the origin point or insertion does not happen. I would say it's more likely they had a week amount of collagen on the origin point of the muscle and training pulled it apart. This does not fit a muscle injury or a nerve injury at any point. Microfractures or a surgery on the sternum could explain all this. Because the chest plate or sternum is not fully formed and bone until a little bit later in life. Repeated injury to it can make the bottom of the sternum widen and in that case it would take the muscle with it. This is not a nerve injury or a muscle injury this is an injury to the sternum itself that healed many times or healed from an operation or something like that.

I believe it was do over time from constant blow's to his chest. When I was a teenager I use to blay body blow's with my friends. Basically you just put your back against the wall and let all my friends take turn punching you as hard as possible on your chest. After years of doing that I started noticing I was developing a slight gap in the center of my chest. I immediately stopped doing it lol. But till this day that small gap is still there and I know if I would have continued playing body blow's it would have gotten way worse.
