Ok we have started football training for our school, today was our chest day, and it consisted of incline benching, decline benching, regular pressing, and a few more chest exercises. I did the exercises fine and felt great, but now i feel strange pains in the sides of my chest, nothing killer, just annoying. AN example of the pain, would be becnh pressing, and trying to do a push up the next day while sore.

if i try to lift a heavy book i might feel aslight pain, or if i push my hands together, like im praying, there is also a pain.

im not sure what to do, because i received a few compliments of having good form, do you think i just overworked my chest or what?

You just got DOMS delayed onset muscle sorness just try to rest your chest and get good food/nutrients in ya
Doms isnt a bad thing either just means you worked the muscle and its now building up for the next time you do that routine hopefully youll be stronger if you recover right
