Im considering doing some youtube videos, abit of a series. Its going to follow the goal of trying to prgress out the chair into calipers and also getting in shape over 8 weeks intense training to gain around 14-16lbs muscle... its going to be tuff and im not expecting to be anything near a good caliper walker/hopper but i would like to share it with people to show maybe there are possibly other options for them and if your in a chairand also what can be acheived physically and how... But i know youtube can gain the wrong attention. so wondering what people thoughts on this type of thing are?

I say go for it. Just make sure not to give away personal info. Like where you live, age, full name etc, if you don't do that then you shouldnt really have to deal with any devos/stalkers. Well I wont say you wont deal with them, but you can ignore them/block them. I like looking at how other paras do things by their videos on youtube. I actually transfer in and out of my car differently by watching how one guy did it and combined both mine and his ways and now its a smooth transfer instead of transfering to the floor and then into the seat. Good Luck (:

Definitely do it. I have my own youtube channel where I've posted a lot of occupational and physical therapy videos. I've gotten a lot of good responses.

I think you should do it. At least for yourself and a select few until you feel comfortable. You can upload as unlisted then post a link to be accessed. It's easier than private. I know you're smart enough to be safe with details.

I learned quite a few exercises on YouTube...it can be very encouraging. It's also a great record for yourself.
