Earlier this week Monday, one of my friends didnt put back his dumbell and unfortunetly when i got done and went to slam my dumbells after a decline press, i crushed my finger between the dumbell and his dumbell.
It turned out to be a oopen fracture with 7 stiches and a fractured left hand pointer finger but only the top part of the finger, the tip.
My question is I havent lifted since monday and doc says stiches come out tuesday but finger wont full heal for another 6-8 weeks. I was wondering what i should do concerning diet, and when to get bak to the gym. Im currently around 150lbs, 5’8, 17 years until jan. 15
You could probably do unilateral excercises with your right hand, while it does create an imbalance it also helps your left side from wasting as much muscle. And I think there’s an article on training with a broken hand/fingers somewhere on here.

Doesn’t look live it will be very useful to you if your gym doesn’t have all those fancy machines. Let’s hope they do. Maybe you can improvise using a cable station? If you don’t mind looking dumb that is
Maybe you should squat? I mean, you can still do things that don’t require grip, things like using machines, squatting, lunges.
I’ve repeatedly jammed my fingers and been able to row through them. I guess I’d recommend eating as normal and seeing what you feel comfortable getting away with in the gym, and going from there.
So just stick to machines and lower body? Shold i eat less or ne thing because i dont know if im gonna use all of that calories and carbs im afraid id just end up gainin fat
