Picc line and training

[BIG1512]

Not going into a lot of detail but I caught staph at the hospital and had to have a picc line put it in for 2 weeks. Does anyone have any advice on how to train with this thing in? I will be at home when I train until it comes out i think. Thanks

Take a break... rest, make sure no infection gets in... your muscles won't disappear in two weeks, and it will do you good.

You don’t. That catheter terminates inside the right atrium of the heart. You know what happens when I picc line migrates? V tach, SVT, damage to your tricuspid etc etc.

I believe the official guidelines even state limit lifting to 10 lbs. avoid relative arm motions, especially those with your arms above your head.

Repetitive not relative

My man, time for a rest period! Take this time to let your body recoup and get back to 100%! Sucks that happened to you man, wishing you a speedy recovery!

You got plenty of muscle mass packed onto your frame. It’s not going anywhere! Don’t jeopardize your recovery.

What’s the time line here, 2 weeks?
