Depth in chest and back - Disability Advice Required

shane3 · 06-24-2007, 11:11 AM

HI

I am disabled due to severe injuries to my right leg.

My training is going really well but obviously I do all of my exercises sat down and I want to create some depth to my chest and back. I understand upright and bent over rows are the best exercises for this but I cant do them because I need to sit down when trraining. I cant take too much weight through my legs -

ANY IDEAS PLEASE ?????????

CHEERS

Can you do chest supported rows? I would also look at the different hammer strength rows, those almost always allow you to sit while doing them.

Thanks for your reply

I dont know what those exercises are. Are there any websites that would demonstrate the exercises you have mentioned.

Cheers

Shane, are you attending a commercial gym? A good gym will have the equipment DallasLynx mentioned, or something similar to it.

What kind of exercises are you doing now?

Yes I am attending a commercial gym, although I am the only disabled person there. However I will have a look for the equipment mentioned by Dallaslynx.

I now know what chest supported rows are and the Hammer Strength Rows are, they both look fantastic thanks.
