    Hi. I have a partially fused wrist, so I haven’t very limited ROM and hand strength. I plan on using wrist wraps for gripping the bar for most exercises, but I can’t do push ups. Could you give me an alt to those please?
    Thanks.

    Hey there-

    Sure thing, push-ups are pretty much the same as chest presses, you are just pushing your body (the weight) away from the floor instead of pushing the weight (dumbbells/barbell) away from your body. So if you aren’t able to do any kind of push-up modification or variation (ex: wall push-ups, elevated push-ups with hands on incline bench, etc.) then you can do any kind of chest press as an alternative.
