I owe big thanks to Cara for finding this picture. I don't know how she did it, but she did. I'm thrilled! This is the guy from "The Lady in the Water". Note the difference in the right arm compared to the left arm.
The point of the picture was to give you a nice visualization about what I worry I may soon look like. My attempt to continue doing presses and other sort of overhead work will definitely lead to an uneven strength level in my arms. Jen what did you do?
I think I may just suck it up and go see a doctor. I've rested my arm for two days, and there's still pain. Usually, the pain goes away if I'm not working my shoulder, but it hasn't this time. Maybe a doctors visit will be the perfect way to spend my flex fund money (to everyone reading.. you only have a few more weeks to spend it, and it doesn't rollover!).
I've also spent some time today looking for exercises I CAN do. Jenn has sent me some really diverse ab work, some kettlebell work and different versions of pushups. I'm also envisioning some fun runs in my future.

Hehehe - glad I could help! The picture was on a Spanish-language website... not sure how I found it!
Yeah, you should go to get it looked at. I love my doctor so I'll drop you a line with his name.
As for get a big arm, it aint so bad! I really look like that right now! I'd rather have one arm stronger than the other than get all out of shape!
