Kurt returned from his last tour of duty in Iraq paralyzed below his waist. He has full control over movement in his upper body, from his hips, through his trunk and arms, to the top of his head. But because he is unable to walk, he is confined to a wheelchair. Kurt is determined to regain all the upper-body strength he had before his injury. You are his trainer at the Veteran's Rehabilitation Facility and are working to help him get back in shape. All of the weight machines at the facility are specially built to accommodate a wheelchair. List four muscles for Kurt to target, and choose specific exercises for resistance training those muscles.
