depending on the severity of the break, some are just going to take longer than others. 8 to 12 weeks is my guess. dont push it and do what the doc says. sorry to hear that bro. I am coming of a hernia surgery, could'nt lift any more than 20 lbs for 9 weeks. talk about a bummer. I am bouncing back though and glad I followed docs orders. losing gains sucks especially when your hands are tied. good luck

yea it sucks i know, but i really dont care about muscles loss , i can regain it back i just want to have a full functional arm again , i will follow the doc orders even if he tell to stay 6 months without lifting , muscles come and go thats why I wont risk my arm health for some muscles.

smart man. some dumbshits are so vein that they will ruin thier bodies for a few pounds of muscle. we all get old unless you die first, and we only get one body so I say you should probley take care of it if you dont want to walk around like a beat up gimp when your 80.I read a post from a guy who had some type of surgery and was so obsessed with packin on some mass that he said he was going to keep lifting no matter what his doc said. I wish I could remember who it was I would check for a thread from him. I bet he did more damage and regrets it now. oh well thats his problem. take care of that arm bro. eat good and try to work other body parts if you can, and if you cant you'll be back soon enough.as you know there are several ways to gain some muscle in a hurry.
