Re: Help working around injury

Do you have access to weight machines? One of the things you could do is the

flye machine, which typically has a pad that you press using your forearms.

Depending on the style of the machine, you often can turn around and use that

same flye machine to exercise your back muscles.

but now two weeks in I am so twitching and whining and getting cranky.

I am in a weight loss challenge and I feel every day is killing me I

am doing a lot of lower body and abs but I really was gaining upper

body muscle there for awhile and can feel it eeking away every day. If

I was in great shape I am sure a month would not be so bad but I am not.

I was hoping someone could give me some ideas on upper body training

that would not require me to well, use my wrist. I could not think of

anything but I am very basic. Thanks!!

You could also use the super-pullover and lat. raise machines.

No machines? How about stretchy loops or a Gaiam body-ring; you put your

forearms inside and push outward.

Don't forget the forearm-plank; front and side positions. That one will

definitely keep your biceps from deteriorating if you hold the position

for a minute or two.
