Yeah, I have been using my wife's resistance bands from her Pilates crap to start rehabbing my arm. I want something more intense, but won't put a lot of weight on my arm yet.
Maybe I could just replace any of the weight-nearing exercises with resistance bands until I can get back to weights. I'd be toning more than building, but the intensity should still allow me to get my strength back. I can literally squeeze my left arm and feel bone. No bicep at all anymore either. My right one is still in good shape though. I look like I deflated on one side.
Seriously, I had to START rehabbing by curling a can of soup and it actually hurt. With this injury/surgery, I really had to start from scratch...literally no weight.
Hopefully in another year or two I'll get back to where I was before.
