Yesterday while doing sumo deadlifts I dropped the weight on my pinky toe. I ended up fracturing the phalange of my 5th metatarsal. Went to the ER immediately. Orthopedic surgeon took a look at my x-rays, removed my toenail, and told me to make a follow up appointment for a week or 2 from now. I wasn’t given any instructions on training. Overall, he didn’t seem concerned at all about this injury which was pretty relieving.
Just wondering how I should proceed with my training from here. I was told the recovery time would be about 6 weeks. When is a reasonable time to reintroduce squats and deadlifts? Should I stick to benching with feet up for now?
