Today I'm breaking down three training variables you can manipulate when pain shows up in the gym, along with specific examples that show them in action. All while wrapped in a fuzzy blanket burrito (don't judge). 

This isn't about irresponsibly pushing through pain or babying yourself into fragility. It's about finding manageable and safe entry points that keep you training while your body heals - because it's definitely possible to still build resilience and stay consistent without spiraling into "I'm broken" territory. 

Plus: the tipsy push-up test for movement ownership (NOT a recommendation, just pure illustrative purposes hehe).
