just got back from hospital

ive chipped the bone in my knuckle. any way to get around this problem for lifting? i gotta keep training.

 

[makedah]

chipped it (a piece of it is loose) or cracked it?

Which finger?

What did your doctor say?

My guess is that it would be excruciating to really grip anything for while. Personally, I wouldn't go chancing dropping/mishandling a barbell or dumbbell (might chip something else! ).

I would take a breather. But maybe some machines for a while if you MUST workout?

Go machines for a while until you feel like you can grip a bar.

You can still do deads and pullups and stuff like that with straps if you want to, but anything where you are under the weight, I would us a machine for safety purposes
