buymeapc Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Hi all! My name is Jay. I'm 5'8", 145lbs and steadily climbing thanks to the holidays and a weakness for pizza. I have been cultivating the 'always wearing an inner-tube' look for a little while now and I'm ready to reduce this belly. I saw the article about 'National Respawn Day' and it stuck with me. I've been perusing Nerd Fitness since then. I even made the paleo spaghetti and LOVED it! Great recipe! I plan on making the paleo tacos, too! I've been noticing a lot of advice involving lifting and I would love to, but I have an issue...I have an unfortunate condition known as Kienbock's Disease. Basically, my right hand (dominant hand) is 'handicapped' to where I cannot lift too much (less than 20lbs or so) or do push-ups without pain. I've always considered myself active (even partaking in Commando Krav Maga in past years), but since I found out I had this condition a couple years ago, my activities have waned. Is there a way I could still follow all the advice I've found on this great site and still participate somehow? Or am I rather stuck? No matter what, it's great to have found this site and all the sage advice! Quote Link to comment

Ocelot Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 There are ways round that I'm certain! Planking only requires elbows and is a great all over conditioning exercise. One legged squats work as well as a bodyweight back squat and you don't have to hold anything in your hands. Or you could squat with a backpack with weights in it? There are people who can do one armed pull ups. I don't know how, but they do. Sprinting uphill can work you all over, I think. Build a program with any of these possible moves, plus all the billions I haven't named yet, make yourself accountable by posting a thread here and get going!!!! 1 Quote | STR 15 | DEX 14 | STA 14 | CON 10.5 | WIS 11 | CHA 7 | Level 5 Ocelot's Dossier - Battle Log | Springing into my Sixth Challenge!
