I have experienced this condition. I believe it is from weight lifting. As soon as I take a break from lifting (a week or more) the pain subsides. It comes and goes in waves, and not throughout the entire day. It's a sharp pain in the chest, and sometimes extending to the upper arm and back areas. I've had these symptoms for years, and only after intense workouts - like the 2nd through the 5th day after an intense weight lifting session (but not necessarily after EVERY intense lifting session). I have not been able to find any definitive scientific research to back up my theory, only first hand experience and seeing other bodybuilder's ask this same question online about the link between pleurisy and weight lifting.
