gym update

Sucks.

My left arm is weaker than ever. I can't even bench 40 lbs with it (I was at 70 before). What makes even less sense is that my left chest is much more developed than my right, but I'm lifting more weight with my right arm. MADNESS!

The elliptical? hateithateithateit. I can't do interval running with it, and the entire motion of it is incredibly awkward. I need to do some kind of cardio though. Hell with it, I'm going back to the treadmill.

Now, if you'll excuse me, Im off to ice down. Grrrr.

I'll just cope with what I can do, and tryto build back up. Can I lift different weights with different arms? I'll try to do more icing too. When I get pain in my arms, should I ice the spots that hurt, or should I ice the area in my neck around the disc?
