Men's Health fitness director Ebenezer Samuel, C.S.C.S., shares how if approached properly-and with your doctor's approval-there are still ways to move forward with your training plan while you're recovering from an injury.

    I'm an 80-year man in great shape and I wrecked my motorcycle. About a month before I wrecked my motor I had a rotator cuff tear in my right arm. After the motor wreck I had a fractured arm right at the shoulder joint. I also have an ACL a meniscus and tendon problem in my knee. Having a difficult time after 3 months trying to make up exercises with one lamb working. It's possible starting to feel better and better range of movement on all three problems.

    • @DerekGudmundson
      @DerekGudmundson Před 4 měsíci +1

      ok dr. chatgpt confirms it
      Muscle Strength and Mass Preservation: Studies have shown that exercising the uninjured limb can help mitigate the loss of muscle strength and mass in the injured limb. The neural stimulation of exercising one side of the body can have a cross-over effect, benefiting the other side to some extent.
      Improved Recovery: Engaging in physical activity with the non-injured limb may enhance circulation and promote a more favorable environment for recovery in the injured limb. This could potentially lead to a quicker and more complete recovery.
      Maintaining Physical Fitness: Training the uninjured arm helps maintain overall physical fitness and well-being, which can be crucial for mental health and motivation during the recovery process.
      Reduced Impact of Immobilization: When a limb is immobilized, it can quickly lose strength and muscle mass. Training the other limb can help counteract this effect to some degree, through the mechanisms of cross-education.

    I just started the Gym first time in my life 3 days ago, 3 days in a row.
    I had many several surgery on my left arm, i dont have humerus, i have a titanium prosthesis...
    I always refuse to do the Gym for laziness and also because the right arm will be even more bigger than the other arm....but at this point of my life, at 32 years old close to 33, i dont realy care anymore...i feel better when i exercise soo i want to keep it....
    I have very little streght at the left arm, just minimum for doing push ups ( not without suffer more than normal) but i want to progress with it even if i know i cant realy build anything on the left arm, but i want to build the rest of my body. Any suggestion ? thanks

    I have been doing 500-700 bicep curls with 15lb dumbbells for about a year and keep feeling more frequent tingling on my thumb tips and index fingertips that often lasts most of the day.
    Can high repetition dumbbell curls cause tingling in the thumbs and index fingers similar to carpal tunnel?
    How can I exercise my biceps and arms and not cause these symptoms?
    How can I reverse the symptoms?

    WOW!! Amazing things this guy says! Actually my left elbow was injured and my arm was in cast. Meanwhile i worked out my right arm and when the day came to take out the cast....SURPRISE!! My left arm was hard as rock, doubled in size like Ronnie Coleman in his days!! It works! Actually guys, stop working out your left arm even when healthy! Just work out your right and the left is still growing while it's sleeping!!
    People! Stop believing anything you watch on CZcams. I do bodybuilding all my life! I have my left in cast because of injury and i work out my right now. There is no gain on my left! It is simple. The muscle that doesn't work, doesn't grow! This guy is talking potatoes.
