Muscle pain after overhead pressing

I was doing standing overhead bb pressing(getting the weight situated by doing a sort of clean) and after I was done with my first set I had a muscle pull sort of pain right below my pectoral and kind of under my arm pit. Any good stretchs to help this pain? I will be using my foam roller on it. It isn't a bad pain but very nagging and comes about when I move my arm around or twist my torso. Sometims it tickles a bit if I take a deep breath.

I outlined where exactly this pain is in this picture.

Do you know what sort of movements involve this muscle?

Function

Pulls scapula forward.
(protraction) draws medial border of scapula away from vertebrae (upward rotation).
It also protracts the scapula - if the nerve is damaged, for example during lymph node clearance from the axilla during breast surgery, the scapula 'wings'; sticks out from the posterior chest like an angel's wing, most noticeable when pushing against objects.

You are like a living encylopedia, lawl. Thank you for the links and information.

I hope I spelled encyclopedia correct.

Treatment: yup, foam roller. Plus some Pilates core strengtheners, should help you avoid a repeat.

Yes, it's just best to ignore abnormal pain resulting from lifting...

Anyway, why do you need to clean the weight to press it? Can't you just use a squat or power rack and get it into a front squat position, unrack it, then press it.

This is a funny one. I tried this once. I had the bar racked and loaded the weight, I unracked it and pressed ...*BANG*. I hit the ceiling after doing half a rep.

So, how does cleaning the weight into position help negate this problem?

I have to use another area of the gym where the ceiling is higher.

Wow, that is friggin high. The tallest point in my gym is probably like 10-12 ft. It is the basement of a YMCA.
