Walking- How Do I Strengthen My Triceps?!

[oncemoreuntothejimbreech]

I’ve got an idea, but you’re going to need someone to help you. (If you think this idea would even help you.)

Those are gait trainers. You may already be familiar with them. People build dip bars for their home gyms out of PVC pipe because it’s strong, lightweight, and affordable. Someone could build a frame out PVC pipe similar to those gait trainers. Lowe’s and Home Depot have quality caster wheels and wheels without casters.

Those are climbing harnesses. You could wear the climbing harness and suspend it from the side rails of the PVC frame with climbing rope, carabiners/snap link, and eye bolts, etc.

That can transfer some of that weight from your triceps to the harness, the frame, and your legs. While you’re still using your arms and the side rails of the frame for support just like you would with a walker

It’s not a strength/endurance problem; it’s a weight distribution problem.
