So like I mentioned Friday, I had another sharp pain on my right side during my third set of dragon flags. I have had this happen a few times before but this seemed like the most severe example as the pain lingered longer than before, affecting my activity through the weekend. The pain did lessen over time. I was curious how things would go during my scheduled chest day at the gym.
I felt some discomfort in the area during the last several pull ups I did at the front of my workout however during most of the pressing movements it wasn’t a big factor. However when I got the idea to do some dumbbell pull overs that all changed in a hurry. I grabbed a 55 pound dumbbell which is about 10 lbs lighter than what I would normally start with. I got to about 10 degrees off vertical on my first rep and immediately felt the pain rushing back into the area. I immediately stopped and finished off with some push ups and front raises.
I definitely will need to do some trial and error with this injury. Hopefully the errors can be kept to a minimum.
