I have injured my bicep and it is going to take a few weeks to recover. I can't flex, extend or rotate my arm, so any strength training on that side is out of the question.. (this should make looking after my 1 year old fun!).. I was just getting into lifting heavier when this happened.. Arg I could cry :-( what types of strength training can I do? I don't want one arm to end up musclier (sp?) than the other. I can obviously still do some legs and cardio that doesn't involve the upper body. What are my other options? Thank you for any input!

    Squat squat squat squat and do some more squats after that. It will work most of your body except your arms.

    Do back squats, front squats, one legged squats, jump squats etc.

    I agree with Heidi. Squats are great.
