Should I exercise tonight??

A day ago I pulled my back muscles doing a deadlift. While I'd say I feel about 80% better, I am not sure if I should weight train tonight. I feel like I could but I am afraid if I'm not fully healed it will worsen the situation. I am being overly cautious so I'm not sure what to do.

    I think you answered it for yourself. Staying out one or two more days is better than potentially causing yourself even more harm and being out much longer.

    Very true. I won't work out tonight. Sucks because I am motivated but what can ya do.

    I usually tend to use motivation to actually clean my house. Based on what it looks like, my motivation is in short supply. ;)
