Aidan Bentham Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 The muppet I am I trained on my injured forearm as I love gymnastics, bodyweight training and calisthenics too much, haha. It has been a week where I have pretty much done nothing. I swung off my pull up bar into a front lever as I am so desperate to get back to training but I know my body will take longer to heal the more I train on an injury. It has been a couple of months so far. Slowly making progress with my injury, I don't want to do too much too soon. However, to keep myself busy can people please list some exercises which are good for levers, planches and more but without using my arms or as little as possible using my arms. I'm sure there are exercises out there. Plank seems to be okay but the injury is in pain when I release the pressure I put my arm under so planche training and levers are at a halt right now but there are exercises which do not require the arms. Can you guys list me as many as possible? I am aiming to still get a strong core etc. Hope this makes sense. I can use my left arm fine, right arm I can use but just not under real great pressure as I risk hurting it and making the healing process even longer! D: many thanks for this who answer! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Martin Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 (edited) Assuming rest is the best remedy and that you are undergoing proper rehabilitation methods, I would recommend just focusing on your core. Abs and lower back will help your planches greatly. Furthermore, how's your flexibility? I'm pretty sure a solid middle split will help your straddle planche... However, if it were me, I would also see this as an excellent opportunity to start training my left arm like crazy (my strength is severely imbalanced between my arms). I would treat the injury as kind of fortuitous - giving you a chance to even things out. Edited July 29, 2015 by Kuboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Wheelock Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 There's fairly strong evidence that you can maintain strength on injured side by training in the uninjured side. You can work on one arm push-ups, one arm rows and it's also a great opportunity to focus on your single leg squat progression.http://www.poliquingroup.com/Tips/tabid/130/EntryId/797/Tip-221-Perform-Single-Side-Training-When-Injured-and-Stay-Strong-in-Both-Limbs-Cross-Education-Principle.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
