Since I planned to do lower body today I hoped the pain in my right side would be less of an issue. As I went through the workout I discovered several things. Chin ups hurt more than pull ups, I tapped out after rep 7 or 8 as the pain increased with each rep. Squats hurt some but hurt less if I took a deep breath and held it during the max exertion portion of the movement. Surprisingly, deadlifts, even heavy deadlifts didn’t cause much discomfort. I even did one rep at the weight I bowed out at last week because of knee pain. I’ll keep trying to define the boundaries of acceptable movements.
