Suggestions

[Greybeard]

As I mentioned, I am doing 100 lunges a day in my garage. (whether or not it is helping is another matter. (stupid not veing allowed to drive)

Any way, as I lunge my right wheel keeps raising ( no cracks about being left handed being the issue) like I was saying, I keep edging to the left and have to re-adjust my chair every 5 lunges or so.

I am looking for suggestions to keep my chair in place when practicing.

Thanks

Perhaps someone or something to hold it in place? Or you could practice in a chair or bench with a wide base or one secured to the floor (it might look odd in a public park, but it also might work.)

Just a thought; I'm not really an expert on wheelchair fencing. Keep up the hard work, though!

Oh, one other thing; you can try doing lunges from both sides. Obviously you only fence with one hand, but symmetrical exercise is better for the body than asymmetrical, and it should balance out shifting in your chair.

The thing is in a bout we will jerk violently on the arm on the non weapon side and lift the frame. Good thing we are heavily tied down. (wheel clamps etc) I could bring 1/2 a frame from the club, but that takes away from any chair fencers we might recruit to the cause. I wonder if a 2x4 or the like might break me?

You mean as in having someone whack you with it and say "Stop that"?

Seriously, do you have a workbench or something under which you could settle the right armrest? Or maybe a barbell you could run through the wheels and to which you could then add weights as needed?

Failing all else, a big piece or plywood under the chair, with holes drilled in it to let you run a couple of loops of rope or wire through it, then a broomhandle through the wheels and through the loops? You might still have to put some heavy things on the edges of the plywood. Or maybe not...
