It really depends on pain tolerance and whether or not Maxi can breathe while he works out. If he has a hairline rib fracture, he’d probably feel nothing while working out. If he has no pain, even when his rib is pressed on, then he can workout.
But given that he still has to heal, they are going to keep away from contact to avoid a more serious fracture. At least that’s how I read it. This will probably keep him out a month, depending on how bad the fracture is.
