Right Arm Bicep Curl
I can almost do a proper right bicep curl. It has previously been a huge struggle because the muscles in my right arm just wouldn’t motion correctly to twist around and curl up and it was very hard. (I have nerve and muscle damage in my right arm and slightly dislocated shoulder. Have had it all my life because of a birth injury.)
I’ve been working it on the curl machine so that theres a cushion to help rest my elbow on to support the form and movement. It burns alot in the right arm whenever I curl the weight, but I’ve been pushing through it until it can’t do anymore. Yesterday I tried to curl while standing with elbows to my side, no support, and for the first time ever in my life I could do it! It wasn’t perfect but it was near perfect. I’d say about 98% correct. I’m so happy!
It’s a great feeling to overcome an injury and do things people tell you you never could do, or things I thought I never could do. Today I’m going to work a bit on my shoulders. I wasn’t doing shoulders at first because of the difficulty, but I don’t enjoy the off-balance and how sloppy my right shoulder looks compared to my left so I’d like to correct that the best I can. I know it will be hard but I also know I can push through it and overcome. Mind over matter, right?
