My upper back muscles are strained, and doing pull ups feels extremely uncomfortable, but I can handle it.

The question is, should I ignore the discomfort and just do the pull ups regardless of the strained muscles, or should I wait a day or two so the muscles will heal?

Is the fact that a muscle is strained, affect it's ability at the moment or it's ability to develop?
