How long after breaking my coller bone can i lift weights?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on type: I like to see full or nearly full healing of a collarbone/clavicle fracture on an x-ray, absence of pain and full range of motion of the shoulder before allowing a return to weight lifting. Then, you would begin with light weight and lower risk exercises like biceps curls and triceps pushdowns. Exercises stressful to the fracture area such as bench press & push ups would be allowed later.
