Okay, I totally had a brain fart and forgot about this in my series of posting yesterday but two questions/concerns.
First off, about 8 years ago I was involved in car accident, blah balh ,etc.
Now I have two metal plates, in each leg, by my femur, on the outer thigh area and inner thigh area, I totally forgot, that could account for maybe 5 to 10 pounds of my weight maybe? all four of the plates run about from knee to hip, the length of the femur.
The next concern, also occured in the wreck. My right arm, I don't have full extension at the elbow, like say I can curl all the way up and touch my shoulder if I want to, but I can't fully extend my arm. This is due to my elbow dislocating multiple times and the doctors not being able to stabilize it.
The other problem is on that same arm, I cannot rotate my wrist fully to knuckles down palm up, the most I can get is going from palm down, knuckles up, to sideways, thumb up pinky down, with knuckles and palm side ways.
My concern on the arm and wrist was, I dont do bicep curls, I do hammer curls as to work each arm equally, but when I do pushups, or bench presses, I have no way to get a full extension, so I hinder my other arm and go for an equal extension on each arm, so I get equal chest/pec exercise.
I was just wanting opinions on how I could work that area more effeciently as well as if the plate weight is a big factor. (if so I wouldn't be 205 I would be more like 195 probably)
If you need or want pictures as well to show you more info about my arm and rotation, let me know.
