That hoc chair is sick

you are super

Thanks for these exercises for lats. After my SCI my spine curved. I am doing exercises from you for my shoulders & they are having a great effect. I'm thinking strengthening my lats will help reduce my spine curvature.

Thank you.

This was so beautiful thank you so much for sharing this video and I happy everyone found what works for them, and it definitely motivated me to make things happen now for myself and love myself more. ❤️ Ben keep doing great things.

wow this workout really pushed me, thank you!

I'm using the chair when I leave the house. I'm grateful it's not full time as I live in a very inaccessible apartment. When I moved in I was was totally on feet time. Now I get anywhere from 20 min (total) on a not great day to upwards of maybe a hour, broken up. I'm very glad to have found you. I've gotta get some exercise that is more than arm training. Before the car accident I was in the gym 3-4 days a week. When you were saying 'don't fall off, don't fall off...' I was chuckling. Mine is 'don't fall over, don't fall over. Because of my knees and my hips, sometimes I'm not terribly stable on my feet. If I moved my foot the wrong way, just a couple of inches the 'wrong way' it can throw my whole body off. That happened tonight standing at the counter. All I did was move my heel - slightly - so I could put something in the trash. My equilibrium 'shifted' and I was thinking 'don't fall over' as I was simultaneously looking for something to grab onto. Oy. So I'm gonna give this a whirl. I've gotta start slow, and that's ok... Cheers.

Great work out I lift weights 💪 and even I found this hard 💪 but so worth it

Thank you, you have a great personality for this practice! Loved it.

Wheelchair

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.

I'm done giving my money to these therapist that just want to rush their job and get stuff done instead of educating and sharing a little bit of their knowledge to make us exercise better you make it seem easy because you're in a chair yourself I've been in a wheelchair since 2006 and been trying to find a routine that I could follow every day to get better at my daily stuff that I need to do on my own for when I don't have no one and I have to say after doing your workouts and the stick workout is my favorite their stuff that I could not do without using the stick and now I can and I'm getting stronger and these challenges I love them too dude you're the man Big Ups to you cuz you're doing it and all people could do is respect😊❤

Interesting take. I feel like you skipped over a lot of the pros and cons of doing super sets, would have appreciated a deeper dive into the different aspects of why you would choose them and when.

I'm currently suffering SIJ pain and can't do lower body exercise at the moment. I may not be in a wheelchair but this is helping to keep my fitness levels good so I can continue to advance my career in scuba diving. Thank you so much!

This made me e laugh so much. It's EXACTLY the way I think, too. The "do not fall off" was especially hilarious. Thanks for the laugh, Ben!!!

This is soo helpful. I love that I’m able to do an exercise that’s calming and focused on feeling uplifted and good in my body. Being disabled you can feel really defeated sometimes with exercise, especially when most exercise is made to be about treadmills and gym memberships. It’s nice to get a good stretch and end up feeling good and not in pain because I’ve pushed myself too hard. Plus it really helps with anxiety. Thank you!

Where do you get the cuffs with the hooks? I have a buddy that lost both arms from the elbow down- this would be perfect!!!

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.

Respect bro

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

Nice setup! The hi/low sink counter and the shelf below the oven were new to me.

Im a wheelchair user but my shoulder injuries are mostly from throwing newspapers for many years and a cervical spine injury (i compensated with my shoulders). Physical therapy helped for 15 years until recently. Now i think its torn beyond PT. Im worried about being able to transfer myself after surgery

I don’t go to the gym but if I want to do any physical activity I need to estimate how much energy it will take out of me and whether or not I have more urgent things to get done. When I do, I have to find a workout that won’t immediately render me unable to move at all, allow enough rest time, make sure I’m prepared for if I pass out and the inevitable factor that despite all this planning, I’ll still be out of service for a week at times 😅

Pretty sure I got a runner's high on minute 36 or 37. First time I've felt that since my injury! Woo! Great video

Hey Ben, 72 exAllAmerican and I became a para at 58. Too much contact to my spine. Then 4 years ago more issues w my heart and cardiac vessel disease. This is great I do exercises w you three times a week the rest of the week is gym and recumbent biking around the shoreline in SC. USA. This is a fantastic work out. THANK YOU! You are saving my life.

Great! Just what I need. Thank you.

great stuff

Morning routine

tank you so so much!! ❤

Do you have any wheelchair videos for a cardiac session using the ski erg? Are there different variations for working your muscles?

Thank you for this cardio information. I need to do this. Did you say you had a link to more info on understanding calorie burning as a wheelchair user?

I do this routine almost every day as a warm-up before another longer video. My heart rate increases and my muscles wake up. My physical limitations prevent my arms from reaching high but I do my best and appreciate your encouragement. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your motivational videos!!!

please make a vid on to get up from lying posture being a quad.

Thank you

Fun review, quite honest. However 4 years later the new plane friendly lightweight Power Chairs are way superior. Seems it has similar issues with Smart Drive... Hard and expensive to repair (deliberately so). On a larger scale, but still under 22" wide are mobility scooters that can carry groceries, even a passenger. Many varieties, but the triporters can do 20 mph (restricted) and still turn on a small area. The hand controls are very user friendly as well, and of course some models are stable even with 500 pounds. It pays to shop around 😊

Probably should have looked in the mirror at my collar for that intro! Check out the discount here: www.adapttoperform.co.uk

How about a series on nutrition and bowel programme issues

As an ex College AllAmerican in the 70’s, this HIIT wheelchair workout is the best. Cardio, flexibility and upper strength. I bike and golf using adaptive gear. THANK YOU! I have a bad left shoulder, but I do what I can. Wipes me out. Love it. THANK YOU

Hi ben, this vidio is too good, amazing, thanks for show

Great workout Ben

I’ve had a shoulder injury for about three months

T-12 SCI 1981 19 Years old. Now 62, 63 next month 43 years in a wheelchair. I never had a skin ulcer or bladder infection or any problems for 36 years. Then I got a TiLite wheelchair and they put a metal bar inthe back and my upholstery stretched out and unknown to me my tailbone was hitting it and I finally got skin ulcer. The rest of my butt is excellent. I could and was sitting on a cheap foam cushion. I could sit in my kayak flyfishing for 8 hours no problem. A fucking design flaw gave meskin ulcer break down! I also had my first UTI and now are battling them regularly. I don't have to cath. That saved me from UTI's for some36 years. I tighten my stomach muscles to force out my pee. My shoulders have also worn out and I have many shoulder problems. I recommend to EVERYONE with SCI to NOT workout lifting. You need to save your shoulders. Excessive lifting wrecks your rotator cuffs, causes impingements, arthritis etc and that affects your ability to transfer. I am losing my ability to transfer because of excess shoulderstrain. Mono skiing, surfing and swimming prior to SCI, lifting too much, bicycling, and just plain transfering and pushing my chair. Messed up my right hand sprained my thumb real bad transfering and it took 2 years to heal up because I had to transfer and it never got any rest. They won't give you shoulder or hand surgery because the rehabilitation requires NO USE of the hand or shoulder and that would me laying in a bed for 8-10+ weeks in a nursing home and no insurance will pay for that. So all you young guysthinking it is great to lift and build muscle you better take my advice. Less is more. Save your body and don't lift or over do it because when you get older iit is going to come back to haunt you guaranteed. You don't want to be 65, 70, 75 and unable to transfer because then you go from para to quad and that sucks. Good Luck.

As a wheelchair user while pushing myself my palms are face down. Please explain why my palms should remain faced up while doing these curls? I'm having much difficulty, after 17 years in a manual wheelchair, with my wrists hurting and needing to be cracked very often while not using them to propel myself. I noticed in one of your videos that you twisted your wrists between up and down movements. Wouldn't it be better suggested in the case of manual wheelchair users to do that?

What are the wrist straps that you are using?

check my bicep

Thanks Ben. Very informative!!

This is great! Best wishes.

Hi Ben, informative video as always! What exercises/weights from this video would you suggest for an arm with a detached long-head tendon on the bicep? Better to use less weight/more reps?

Do you still do your live sessions on Mondays Wednesdays and Thursdays?? How Can I watch your live sessions?
