Workouts for sprained left ankle

Post by ElliottChow »

So being the clumsly klutz that I am, i sprained my left ankle while coming down for a rebound in basketball and now am limping. Just curious, what workouts could one do for 3 x a week, that does not require use of the left foot. Squats, deadlifts and overhead press are out, since i cant put pressure on my foot. Any comments or idea's appreciated.

pull ups and dips are gonna be your best friends for awhile.
and maybe box squats on a chair.

Why not rest your lower body for a week?

I bruised my left heel too.

haha thanks goi, as much as its deterimental for weightlifting, not going stop doing something that you like because one little setback. It's something that I like and like the rest of us, one little setback never detered us from our goals either. On the lighter side that means, i can be coach for 300, more sprints...run more sprints :)
