I am reminded of someone just recently who said that as a 53 year old woman, I should simply accept that I've weak shoulders and just focus on deadlifting and leg presses. In her mind my age was the automatic cause of my problem. I am thankful I didn't listen Time will tell of course, but I am SO thankful that we found an underlying mechanical cause to my left shoulder problem.

I am unsure why the rotator cuffs in my RIGHT arm are so weak - though not as bad as the left. THAT would be difficult. My thought is while I have gained some strength in my right arm, we haven't ever really been able to challenge it because of the "evil" left arm. What we don't use, we start loosing... So adding rotator cuff exercises to my already lengthy list of correctives, mobility and flexibility exercises.
