TRICEP DIPS

Here is an example of Hand Release Pushups, Thanks Douglas!

Douglas did these PULL-UPS without assistance, but if you cannot do a pull up on your own use a machine or band

(if you do not have access to a pull-up bar, you can use a band and do Lat-Pulls by wrapping the band around a banister or something sturdy)

Before beginning a new workout program always check with your physician first.
