That doesn't sound right

Goal of 300lb bench delayed... There's something to be said for youth. I was working up to besting my personal record of 285lbs (at 17 years of age). Now 34, it turns out the muscles aren't quite so pliant. Today, I heard a popping sound in my left shoulder, as strand by strand of muscle ripped. Like rubber bands under too much strain snapping, my muscles gave way. Don't have full range of motion now, and it hurts to use for most anything, though I can still type ":-)". The full pain is supposed to come tomorrow morning.
