Peter Attia experienced an oblique injury that prevented him from deadlifting without discomfort.

“and so I just decided after that I'm not going to deadlift today”

“if you talked to petera 5 years ago he would have deadlifted today no matter what and he probably would have punished himself for feeling so bad and pushed harder and um done more weight and more reps and more sets”

“but I am going to punt on this for a week um and of course I'm going to ask myself the question hey what is it about this like how much of this is due to did you Ruck a little too much this week probably yes um have you been sitting a little more than usual probably yes you know been driving out to Houston and back for Spring Break Stuff um and and not kind of alizing and catastrophizing it again I think that's a very important thing to do with aches and pains as you get older is not catastrophize them if that's your personality type and it is mine um maybe be a little curious about what it is cut yourself some slack go and do something else and then come back and do it again so anyway uh not sitting here telling you I'm happy to not be deadlifting today but 100% know this is the right thing to do and I'll be back in a week and we'll go from there”
