It seems I cant roll out of bed in the morning without maiming myself recently. Im wondering if I can still do or should do squats with a broken collarbone. I already committed this act once, before I knew it was broken and it didnt seem to bother it at all considering my back squat form had the bar nowhere near my clavicle.

FYI: I will be following this up with a doc Im just looking for opinions of guys who might have been in my situ. I cant sit at home and just read all the time, I need at least a few hours a week to do legs. Its my favourite gym day.

Hip belt might be safe.

I wouldn't be placing any weight on your shoulders #8.Your traps are required to support and stabilize things and your collar bone is very much involved in this.People with a clean break can't even raise their shoulder...
