So last night in the gym I had a little mishap, which resulted in my middle finger splitting lengthwise from the base of the finger to the 1st knuckle.

How do I lift around this injury?? thanks guys.

well if its in a cast, or immobilizer, you should be able to learn how to hold weight with out the use of it... My advice is take a week off, see how it feels, maybe two weeks off, then start light!
