Strength training without elbow? [No elbows]

Hiiii!

I have a condition where if I lift weights with my hands or bend my elbow I damage my elbow nerve. Do you have any ideas what exercises I could do? (no pushups, no elbow plank, no shoulder taps, no plank jacks, no moves with elbow bending repeatedly, etc.) Full body exercise is preferred.

Thanks in advance!

I found this.
Lower body and core:

Anyone got upper body (chest and back)?

Calves:

Hello :)

You can take a look at workouts for upperbody strength at level 1. Are elbow bends without any weight okay for you? Then you can basically do all of Darebee's level 1 upperbody workouts: https://darebee.com/workout/types/strength/focus/upper-body/difficulty/light.html

If you can't bend the elbow at all, there's still some workouts you can do:

These workouts all use exercises you can do without bending the elbow at all. For the back it again depends whether you can bend the elbow at all or would rather avoid it.


These all use w-extensions which involves bending the elbow. If you can't do these, I'd suggest doing the workouts but skipping the w-extensions.

For full body I found these:

Again, if bending the elbow without any weight is doable, there's more you can do if you filter for full body strength on level 1 and 2: https://darebee.com/workout/types/strength/focus/full-body/difficulty/light|easy.html

I hope this helps :)
