Hey guys

I need someone to tell me if I could still do the Jefferson Curl with an overworked achilles. It's a bit swollen and sore at the moment. Will the J. curl make it worse? I only use 5 pounds for weight. I know it's hard to answer without seeing the achilles but anything will help. 

Thank you guys

Hi Douglas, 

We cannot recommend you to continue to exercise through pain. The only recommendation available is to see a healthcare professional like a doctor or a physiotherapist who can assess the extent of the injury and what implications it presents for your current exercise program.
