Broke my hand! are there exercises that can be done to maintain my upper body muscle mass?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Broken hand: Obviously you aren't going to be able to do any exercises that require being able to grip something. Try doing exercises that use a strap that can be put around your wrist or elbow to be able to exercise above the elbow. Until you can grip again, your forearm muscles will suffer
