Back after a year

[Scott Stevenson]

Well long story short i was in the hospital from february 2020 till august.I got an infection in my delt which spread down to my hand.It became sepsis,they ended up amputating all my fingers in my right hand.I WAS IN A COMA 3 MONTHS,woke up had to learn to walk eat and talk again.I went in 250# left at 160#.Well i was using the ft program making great gains.

N ow im ready to start training again.I have a hook i been using for pulling back movements but i will be using only machines for pressing.Question is can i modify the family man plan wiyh no barbell work for chest?Im breaking my head here lol trying to adjust to my new life in the gym again.Thank you in advance and apologies for the long post.

Kastro,

Firstly, man. WOW! I'm glad you're still with us!!! Do you have any residual effects other than the amputation?... Cognitive issues?...

I would recommend getting a isolator... It looks like they stopped making them, but maybe the 14" pro size would work for you?...

You can also use hanging ab straps and connect those to a cable or a smith machine with a large carabiner and put the strap on your elbow as the pulling point:

Here's some vid's or me doing delts and back.

You can do BO rows and rear delts, as well as upright rows on a smith. With a bench and some daisy chains connected to a cable set up behind you, you can do a seated chest fly, too.
