What I'm up to

rydra_wongSince I asked for advice, I thought I'd post a write-up of what my current workout-with-Lisfranc-injury has evolved into, in case anyone's curious, or in case bits and pieces of it are of any use to people -- maybe other people figuring out how to keep lifting heavy things while injured.
Obviously, this is customized around my particular injury and my strength focus (maximizing my strength and fitness for rock climbing). In fact, it's largely driven by my determination to use the enforced time off from climbing to BUILD SUPERHUMAN FINGER AND ARM STRENGTH AND RETURN TO CRUSH ALL MY CLIMBER FRIENDS, MUA-HA-HA-HA.
But it might still be of interest to people who are considering how to build their own plans around their particular idiosyncrasies and goals. Personally, I'm always fascinated by other people's strength goals and routines.
Ground rules: I'm still not allowed to put any weight on my left foot, I'm not allowed to swim yet, and the gym is outside the range I can travel on crutches.
Equipment: I have a fingerboard and rock rings in a doorway (along with a cheap TRX knockoff I got a while back, which I'm totally failing to use right now). Plus assorted heavy things and a yoga mat.
( Workout details under cut )
If you've got any questions, please ask -- it's fun for me to be self-indulgent and chat about what I'm doing.
