From what little information you gave me, I would say that it sounds like you have some cartilage trouble. But, I would need to know some more stuf first. Do you have trouble breathing? If so, is it from pain? Does anything make the pain better or worse other than cracking it? for instance, does taking a deep breath hurt or does blowing out all of your air make it hurt or make it better?

THere is a slight possibility that you have a fracture too. I would probably see a doc about it just to be sure that it's nothing serious. It doesn't sound serious, but then again, I don't have X Ray vision nor can I assess you well from here.

Anyway, it sounds like you are still hanging on to some myths about steroids. You do lose some muscle when off steroids, but this is why it's important to have a good base when starting, you have something to fall back on. If you use steroids as a way to break through barriers instead of a crutch, you shouldn't have any problems.

I have a very broad chest and I get the same thing sometimes. I also get it if I sleep on my side all night. Keep in mind that there are joints where your ribs and sternum meet. Mine pops in the morning and then all is fine.
