yeah kinda like that. my friend was heling me carry the ford 330 ft block and crank i found then he wussed out because it was to heavy. so i picked the whole thing up myself and walked it to the truck a good 100' i felt a sharp pain in my chest and knew something went wrong. i had lumps on my back form the ribs poping out. the doctors was able to reset them and gave me a pain killer. it hurts to breathe with the broken sternum.

These Fe's are rough on ya, I tore the cartlidge in my chest , drilling out broken off bolts in a 360 with a electric drill. I pushed a little too hard and felt that pain, hurts bad. 
Then went to the hospital and got X-Rayed.
