First post for me, I’ve been lurking for around a year now and I’ve realized this is THE place to get good info so its time for me to dive in.
I need some help and no one around where I live is able to do it so I figured this is the perfect place, I dug around on the site/forums and found some general info but my question is a bit more specific. It’s basically this; what can I do for lower workout of an upper/lower split with a fractured foot being that I can’t balance well or put weight on the ball of my right foot. I’m basically relegated to using machines such as leg curls; however I have found that I can do a leg press if I keep just my heels on it and push through them and not my whole foot. Deadlifts, squats and their variations are out for a couple of weeks, basically anything that I have to push through my foot. Are there any cool exercise Iâ??ve probably never thought of? Are there ideal set/rep ranges on the machines (I don’t have much experience with them)? Cardio isn’t a big problem I just row + bike (which sucks).
I know I may not be able to progress much while injured but I certainly don’t want to loose any strength.
