Stitches in arm and training

[JaggerNC]

I had an accident on the job installing a window and I got cut pretty bad on my bicep which required six stitches. I haven't trained aside from some minor cardio here and there because I don't want to cause issues. The doctor said I will have these stitches for about 2 weeks and I can take them out. During that 2 weeks should I weight train or not

during the 2 weeks take time off and rest, just do some light cardio

the injury will be inflamed so you want to rest it or you will set yourself back. you can workout your lower body

Six stitches aint that bad. But just wait the 2 weeks.

 

[JasonPriest]

your main risk is ripping out a stitch, i wouldn't chance it. let it heal

You should rest, some cardio ok

Just wait or you’ll be out for longer.

Give yourself time to recover!

I am always cautious and would rest it.
