So, what actually transpired leading to a broken toe?
Nothing replaces your Olympic lifts, but something is better than nothing with resistance training. Use this as an opportunity to do a new program and reset your muscle memory. |

For your ohp you could just do it seated, do chest supported rows, hit the leg extension and curl machines, do some hypers and ghr. |

I think that will be a reasonable substitute. I just didn't want to go dark for 3 weeks and have to do a massive deload. |

I'd probably squat anyway.
Too much pressure on your toe? Stand on 2.5lbs plates, center of the foot, it will help with your balance and positions. If it was a broken foot kind of scenario with boot height and mobility being an issue, would at least lunge, or even 1/4 or iso-squat to keep the legs going. |

I broke my big toe 4 weeks ago or so and I've been squatting the entire time. Could hardly walk, but I could squat. And deadlift. Just nothing like lunges.

In regular lifting shoes?  Then I just used regular flat soled shoes. Still haven't worn lifters since I broke it.

Seriously....Throw the boot in the trash. Just train through it. I broke mine and never missed a squat or deadlift. It hurt for months. Don't use this as an excuse to become a vag.

Oh, a boot. Yeah, I never went to the doctor. Self diagnosis, self treatment.
I wore batman slippers to work for a few days. Remember, squatting or deads, you should only have weight on your heels anyways. |
