If it hurts, don't abuse it. Wait till you get it fixed. See a doctor, get recommendations from him/her. As a trainer, I would require you to get a release, so my advice is to wait it out, let it heal. The LAST THING you want to do is permanently injure yourself, which means no more squatting period. taking time off sounds like a good policy. If it hurts, don’t abuse it. Wait till you get it fixed.

Your stats show impressive progress on that routine the last few months, though....nothing to "sneeze at", J.T....good luck in pushing thru!....jeff You may already be doing this…read on this site an article from a pro lifter a few weeks ago…says to arch your back and push your shoulders down on the bench, which keeps the chest from caving in during the upper limits of your lift…makes your chest do more of the pushing, taking some pressure off the Tris which sometimes fatigue at the top…it may help with the last couple of inches.

I'm glad you found a way to break your plateau. Dumbbells are awesome, and should be incorporated into almost every workout! You can also try pullups, pushups, cables, etc. For the plateau reason, I choose not to use the barbell bench that often. Good luck, and keep working!
