I strongly disagree here man, I've been working out at home with a pair of dumbbells and a barbell for two years now, and although I'm not the biggest guy here, I'm not thin either. Its a matter of knowledge, how to use the dumbbells.

Shoulders = Lateral raises, side raises, military presses.
Chest = Flies, bench press.
Biceps = Concentration curls, 21s, hammer curls, normal curls.
Triceps = Skull crushers, close grip bench presses, kick backs.
Legs = Dumbbell squats
Back = Rows.

See? You can perform all those with your dumbbells man. Although you can't AS much variety as working out in the gym, you can still workout all parts of your body.

I've been there, injured my left wrist during futsal and aggravated it when my friend twisted my hand. Couldn't bench 1/4 of my usual weight for some time. But, the pain just went away after a month or two though. Didn't really do anything to "heal" it.

How long has it been since the injury? If its been some time, why not going for a check up?

Just curious, how tall are you guys?

Edit - And 18" arms not pumped is just... huge man. My arms are 15" fully pumped.
