Does Weightlifting Cause Appearance Of Nodules On The Chest?

I have noticed 3 or 4 nodules on my left chest and recently started doing heavy weightlifting. I just had a ct lady may that was negative. Is it related to the lifting? 2cm or so, kinda below my nipple. They move a little when pushed. Not painful but it concerns me

Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Lumps on the chest are not associated to the weightlifting. However it can be related to the diet (if you have any special diet to gain weight/build muscles) or steroids injection (if you have any).
Most likely this lumps are some benign skin lesions like lipomas. The best way to find out what it is, is soft tissues ultrasound.
Please consult a surgeon with this issue.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
