How to Train with One Limb – Strength

I had had a procedure done on my right elbow last week. I was told by the doc to take 4 weeks off from the bike which threw me into a bad state of mind so I took to researching how I could train with one arm during this period. I came up with a number of ideas that have been approved by my doctor starting with today’s strength training session. The idea came to me to send a note to Dancing With the Stars contestant Noah Galloway who competed with only one leg and one arm. If you’ve seen Noah, you’d know he’s quite strong. I was humbled when he replied to my note and gave me the ideas in this video:

With that that in mind, let’s start here: an article about 10 common misconceptions about the Paralympics.
