I've never done this or had experience with it, but obviously they would be very limited. If they had help transitioning to benches, etc. Theres actually a lot they can do on upper body work

No experience but what is the issue as to why they are in a wheelchair? providing that could better help with recommendations of what exercises they can do.

That’s going to be tough brother. And i’m sorry to whoever that happened to whether it’s a relative or friend of yours or just a random person, that really is horrible, wouldn’t wish that upon anyone.

I would have to say if your able to get him off the chair maybe try a shoulder press machine, some seated curls, seated lateral raises, skull crushers, face pulls in the chair. maybe even some chest work on a smith machine. I’d recommend you’d definitely speak to someone that’s experienced with training people who are physically disabled like this that could lay out a workout plan for him brother.

You may have to incorporate a belt/harness of some kind for some exercises, but as long as he has doctors OK I’d say, just use your imagination. I met a guy at a social distortion concert who was in a compact wheel chair. He was going up small sets of stairs and running all over the place. Next thing I know he’s crowd surfing. Mike Ness went over and Bro hugged him. Check out the movie Murder Ball - those dudes rock....

Free motion makes an independent cable machine. Free motion dual cable cross Google that, we had one at 24 hour fitness a lot of the rehab clients would work out on. Not sure what all you have access to. Are you in a studio or a commercial gym?

Yeah it’s going to be tricky. He needs a lot of dips I know for sure. That should be fairly simple.
