Thread: Return to lifting after fracturing hand

I can unstrap it in 1-2 weeks after that Im not meant to do much for another 3 weeks. Then only take it easy.

What % of weight should I be doing? What rep / set range.

I was doing 3x8 at about 70-80%

I was thinking 3x10 at 50% for two weeks, then two weeks 3x10 at 60% then 3x8 at 70% for two weeks.

I want to go back to 3x6 but this will have to wait.

Any ideas?

Tell me about it. When I came back from my shoulder subluxation I had to really take it in the ego. The first time I went to bench I was getting mild pain with just the bar, though it faded as the reps went on. My first couple of workouts I was bench pressing the bar. It took several months to work back to where I was strength wise while remaining pain-free.
