working out with a fractured thumb?

[vanrosenberg]

Hey guys I have fractured the tip of my left thumb which has disabled me from using dumbells, barbells and most common exercise machines for 5-6weeks. I am currently training hardcore but am so sad as to not knowing how to train for the next 6 weeks before i go to thailand for a good holiday in the sun!!

What exercises can i do that will minimize pressure on my thumbs but still give a good workout??

Well you can still do legs ?
When doing chest use the bottom of your hand to push the barbell.
Use a pectoral flye machine and also press ups on palms or blocks.
For your back you'll have to cane the pull ups keeping thumb open.
For shoulders use the plates for raises. I wish i could show you in person but you will have to use your imagination on this one mate. Hope this helps you out

I'm down to one arm my self. Just be careful you don't push to hard and jeopardise your recovery like I did. I know how hard it is to put those weights down lol
