HOW'D YOU DO THAT WHILE EXPLAINING I CAN BARELY BREATHE

[anon]

Thanks so much this is really well explained and much easier than the one with the elbow on the ground (that one hurt my shoulder)

I can't lift myself at all like this. I can't flex the muscles in my left side not feel them due to a brain injury. Nor a muscle in my left thigh and upper arm. I'm wondering if it's because of that, though I'm having problems on both sides. Like I'm trying to signal with my brain to lift, but nothing happens. I don't know if it's because my muscles aren't strong enough or I should just give up on trying.
