Rise: Front Squats

No, I'm not dead. I broke the radius bone in my right arm three weeks ago and that required surgery.



It's time to train again.

Rehab: Rubber band finger extensions

My epic scar.



So now, three weeks and a metal plate + 6 screws later, I've recovered roughly 75% ROM in my arm but I'm still not cleared for any form of heavy lifting (duh).


But rather than sit at home and complain how I'm useless and how I'm "never gonna be the same", I went to the gym today to train my lower body - will be doing so 3x a week until I make a full recovery.


I refuse to let this injury get the best of me.
