Hey guys, long time reader of the BBM forums here, but this is my first post. Yesterday I had an accident and cut my face about 2 inches under my right eye, the cut was fairly small (about 1,5cm), but profound enough so I had have it stitched (two stitches). Nurse said I should wait for 7 to 10 days to get the stiches removed.
I forgot to ask the doctor who stiched it about lifting, but I doubt he would know, and as he never stepped on a gym himself, I assume he’d tell me to don’t even think about it. But as I really love strength training I figured I should ask some doctor who has experience with it, so I would really appreciate any input on this.
I think the big problem (if any) would be squatting and deadlifting , as I fear doing valsalva under heavy weight would blow the stitches.
Thanks for the awesome content, to all the BBM crew.
