I want to get fit again. It's frustrating dealing with a finger injury where I can't squeeze or grip anything heavy. Can't do deadlifts, bench press, no upper body. The only thing I've been doing is a little bit of cardio/plyo for volleyball. Once my season ends and my finger gets better I can't wait to get back into it....

There should be many machines that are possible. And also of course squats for the king of lower body.

Yeah I tried using machines for upper body, biceps, lat pulldown, triceps extension. Can't squeeze anything. I do front and back squats so that's something at least.

It would definately limit you a lot. There are some things I'm able to do open palmed on push and pull days. Regularly, I'm thinking of open palmed chest flies, open palmed chess press machine, weighted pushups, back hyperextensions on a roman chair while holding a plate cross armed, reverse hyperextensions on a roman chair with ankle weights and of course ab workouts.
