thanks, bud, for the ideas. I have one arm I had more nerve damage. So, right side is very strong C7 with some finger hand movement. The left I can't even rotate the wrist and forearm, so I have to do completely different workouts for each arm. And the best way to work them together for me is simple lean over and push up real slow. Make each push up take 30 to 40 seconds, to get good time tension and feel it. Or just other body weight lifts. I hope to add bands soon to try focus on triceps.

That's exactly the adapt to perform spirit! We've all got different situations and abilities I just hope to give you some tools to succeed.

@@AdaptToPerform Hey bud as you know, we overuse our muscles to a degree when we can't access others. I get knots in my arms, tried heat and stretching. A lot of time I just have to get a lidocaine shot in the muscle. Have you found any other way of helping knots. If not, its np just was wondering. thank

Hi there! I've been following your videos for many years and always found them really helpful. But a few weeks ago I pulled my latismus dorsi muscles on both sides but much worse on the left. It's so painful and it has affected my arm movement, triceps and grip. I'm in bed at the moment and waiting on an u!ultrasound. I'm assuming this injury is pretty common. Have you ever come across it before? I'm a C6 but this injury has made me more like a C5.

What are your thoughts on isometric holds with no weights or bands for weak triceps?

I talked about this in my previous video I always try to get quads to implement this to see if we can get them firing also with eccentric training too
