i used to starve myself. now i eat a reasonable-sized meal at 4-5pm (usually unless i go out) and then i have a snack like cheese and crackers, mixed nuts, pistacios or a banana w/a big cup of dry red wine while ass-up in bed.
for exercise i use 10lbs ankle-weights on my wrists: i lift my arms high over my head like in top-only jumping-jacks. i also run-in-place, like i am mentally-challenged. i go in circles w/my arms strait out and at shoulder-length. i bring my palms to from being out at shoulder-length to my chest, back and forth rapidly while i read or even watch a movie . i look quite ridiculous! i have gone 2 hours a day, but usually 45m-1hr. lying down i'm skinny; sitting up i have quad-belly and tiny breasts.
i can't stop hyphenating.

Something I never knew is where his level of injury is?
How much strength does he have with his grip and maybe over all with his arms?

Where is his level of reduced sensation? That's the clue.

Foghorn is probably claiming it was estrogen in pot that caused his 'breasts'. Total reefer madness...

REEFER RULES !
Even though I haven't smoked it in years.
I was thinking.You said that push-ups are hard for him to do but if he does have good arm strength and good lower control he can still do them.
Have him lay on his stomach on the floor or bed with his feet on a pillow or two,make sure he is straight,and he can push him self up to where he is on his hands and knees.The hips do get a little heavy and can go to one side but that happens less as he gains more control.
10 reps. at a time at first should be OK.I do it on a sof mat on the floor.
May feel funny at first but it works.Of course if he is able to do them.

ive watched him on cam, get down on the floor and do them.. its hard on him tho, id rather he did it on the bed, but since his leggs are so badly atrophied, gettin him str8 with or without pillows is basically impossible.. his thighs will eventually lay flat on the bed after a lot of spasming and complaints, and my help to hold him up and slowly stretch him to where he can lay, but even then, at his best, hes a bit twisted and cant be on his belly properly, and his knees stay bent, hes permanently sitting, since he was injured at 2 yrs old. i thought that if i sat on him and he was propped on a pillow, that we could hold hands and he could use me like a bench press sorta, use my weight to push up while on his back, not sure how well that would work to build muscle and burn fat, we havnt tried it yet. but any and all answers and Qs are welcome

Forgot that you had mentioned that he has been sitting since he was 2.And threw thows years he probably hasn't stretched in a long time if at all when he was younger.
He can also try using 3-5 pound weights and hold his arms out to the side and swing them forward to where the weights meet up.
