Hey, guys a little over a week ago I had an accident with my hand and now have 7 stitches in my pinky, which will probably affect my training for at least another week, or so. Kind of curious if anyone has any tips of how to properly train through a temporary injury like this that leaves one side of your body immobilized.
I've been going to the gym the past few days, and instead of my normal power lifting routine, I've just been doing one-armed dumbbell versions of everything like bench, press, and rows. I've even started using the hammer-arm machines with the just the one hand, because I figure, at this point. why not? For legs, since I can't properly grip any barbells with any real weight on them, I've been using the hack squat machine and the leg press in their absence.
Any suggestions on how to train my back during this time? Do one-armed deadlifts do anything?
