Is the issue with the heavy glute bridges getting a heavy enough barbell in place? If so, take a look at this: http://bretcontreras.com/who-thinks-...s-a-glute-wod/
You can get plates down to 10# in that big bumper size (anywhere that sells Crossfit equipment will have them), then you can just roll under it without using your UB at all to get into position. I vaguely recall that KB swings might be problematic for you - otherwise I'd recommend HEAVY swings. Also, similarly for losing weight, gaining requires close attention to your diet. LOTS of protein, timed well. Bodybuilding.com has a number of training plans - you might have some luck looking through those for specific mass building exercise ideas that could work for you.

Question: Aren't you supposed to avoid gripping until that injury heals? And if so, how are you able to perform deadlifts? Do you have access to a back extension bench? That exercise works the posterior chain and won't stress your elbow at all. Is your elbow healed enough to train Tyler Twists yet? Finally, for you iffy knees: The New York Times posted a video with a routine to help stabilize knees (it was aimed at runners) a while back. Not sure if your hip will allow you to do any of them though. Oh … and there was an old study that said that training one side produced less atrophy in the injured side than not training at all. So maybe that's worth a shot for your upper body? When you are healed, you can go back to training both arms.

Thanks for the replies. (I think this is my first ever "Help!" post in my millions of posts.)

I adore kettlebells, but the hip doesn't. Doing swings actually gave me a butt! Quote:
