how to train with a broken arm?

[kiufk]

I fell at work and broke my arm. Luckily I have good insurance and my work is going to cover my time off so I'll be paid to recover. I still want to work out though. How do you guys manage to train with a broken arm? I'm assuming I'll be okay training my lower body, but can you still train your upper body, maybe the other arm or no?

You should ask your doctor what they recommend. I'm sure they can get you on a good program for people who have similar issues.

I've known plenty of people over the years that have come into my gym with broken bones. They train around the injury but just be careful.

It really depends, as each person is different with their recovery but generally with a broken arm you should be able to train your legs no problem.

Bros, make sure that you heal up well. That's the number one thing. This way you can come back at 100%. I was down for two years and could not train after my injury.

If it's a clean broken arm, you will be back training before you know it. Just in the meantime do cardio and work your lower body and stay in shape.
