the problem is not lifting and not using the muscles around the area will cause more bad than good according to my doc. He not only cleared me to lift but to start as soon as possible. Apparntly lifting and the muscles in my upper body are kinda what has held me together all this time. In his own words besides discomfort, which i really cant do anything about, the only dangers in lifting right now are in any exercises with a barbell comming near my coller bone. Immagine a barbell loaded with 250 lbs landing on my chest and the joint breaks again, the bone goes in a few more mm, slicing arteries and whatnot in its path. So my question is less really about the injury, and more about the layoff which is comming up to about a month now. The injury is just kinda making me look for alternatives to benching, push presses, front squats, really anything where i put my chest in jeopardy.
