I need help please! I am have a tibia stress fracture and on hold w/ my marathon training. Great time to get an upper/core strength training program going. I am not knowledgeable in the names of things and need a list b/c I am a great plan follower. What would you suggest? Thanks!
Hello,
Well I’m sorry to hear about the tibia stress fracture, I hope you heal up soon.
Upper body movements that would not stress the tibia too severely is key. Here are a few options you can look up and figure out how to execute properly.
-Dumbbell alternate curls
-Barbell curls
-Overhead presses or military presses
-High pulls
-Upright rows
-Shrugs
-Barbell rows
-Dumbbell rows
-Pull ups pull downs
-Crunches
-Rope crunches
-Flat bench press
-Incline bench press
-Close-grip bench press
-Lying extensions
These are just a few to get you started with some research but remember there are PLENTY of good options out there.
I hope this helps!
