Hit a road block guys. Was at work and a 2kg steel wedge was dislodged and fell 2m landing right on top of my outstretched hand. Result is i have fractured 2 metacarpal bones and a fracture through the metacarpal junction. All in all pretty gutted , Doc reckons it will be 8 weeks to heal and I can return to weight training about 10 weeks. I am now having to modify the way I train to accommodate this, im thinking I can get a wrist attachment for cable machine and attach it to forearm and I've seen people do this with cable flyes and cable curls etc I am going to have to go down a similiar route. Any suggestions at this point are welcomed greatly

Not good brother. Use a forearm strap for all cable work and stick to machines where you can load with elbows/shoulders. That’s the safest way to train around the issue without delaying healing...... or safest option, stick to legs untill it all heals up.

So was playing around in gym and just testing out different grips and what straps u can deploy on cables etc. I noticed that when my hand is aligned 180° parallel to my arm , there is very little felt. And motion going the other way is a no go. So for rows , pull down etc , i should be ok , but for any curl variation i will have to use straps on cables and pressing is out. All dumbell work is removed , pretty much will have to be machines for the rest of the time
