Lifting with Achilles Tendinitis
I've had Achilles tendon pain on one leg for just over a month. Squats irritated it, so I've been squatting with an empty bar only. Deadlifts, on the other hand, did not seem to bother me much, and I continued to progress as programmed all month. Last week was my deload week, which I took completely off, but for some reason, the pain is much greater now.
I've started some isometric and isotonic exercises to try to rehab, but I'm wondering if it's prudent to resume deadlifts as programmed, or if I should cut back on the weight.
If you have other recommendations on rehab, I'll take them too.
