My right arm is a lot bigger and stronger than my left arm. Need advice to make them even?

[Anonymous]

So my right arm is a lot bigger and stronger than my left. I go to the gym and a lot of the workouts I can't do because both arms are completely different, in terms of size and muscle. For example, I would have Dumbbells on both sides, and my right arm can lift the weight like a feather and my left, either I struggle soo much to lift the weight or I can not lift at all. What can I do, to make both arms as even as possible? Does anyone have some good and reliable advice, to fix this? Thanks!

When you go to weight machines, make sure both arm handles move at the same time. Pick a weight you can move with both arms, but a weight too heavy to move with only one arm. Push with both arms outward, then let go with the right arm. Slowly let it down for 10 seconds. Repeat 6 times. If you can release it longer than 10 seconds, increase the weight. Shorter than 10, lower it. Only need to do one set.

May also want to do it 3 times on your right arm to make sure you're still giving it a work out. If you do it right, afterwards your arm will feel a little tired, but not necessarily 'sore.'

Thanks man, I will look into this

When you have uneven muscles, the ONE most important thing you must do is NOT USE barbells. Barbells will have your body cheat. When doing a movement, your stronger side will work harder than your weaker side. STICK TO DUMBBELLS. As far as weight goes, go with a weight that your weak arm can handle and use that for your right arm too. Do not try to use different weights for each arm, that's gonna throw more imbalances your way. Just follow whatever your weak arm allows you to do.

Dude maybe you should reword the question next time cause when I read it, I just laughed my ass off. I'll just say this since it's pretty obvious: try fapping with the other hand more XD !

[Asker]

Ahaha everybody says this!

[headstomper]

Dude you just made my day with that post! But to answer your question properly: do bicep curls with a barbel instead. If it feels funny with an EZ bar, switch to straight bar for awhile. Make sure you change grips frequently as well.

[Asker]

Lol glad I did. What's better, the straight bar or the EZ bar

[headstomper]

EZ bar makes it easier on the wrists. With a straight bar tho, your biceps will be twisted more so if you wanna add peak, do with a straight bar. But just to be sure, start off with an EZ bar first. If your arms still aren't equal in strength, go with a straight bar.

Ok will do this, I'd there any point working chest and shoulders still?

[headstomper]

Work every muscle group. Any lagging muscle will cause injury.

[Asker]

Ok will do this, thanks man

[MakeitOrDieTrying]

No offense but this is horrible advice. Read my post

[headstomper]

And where's your post?

[timmy111]

This made me laugh , just how it was worded...:)
Weights and time

[Asker]

Lol, what excersis?

[timmy111]

Well being arms, would be triceps and biceps, do I g both will build your forearms nicely... Will just have to wait for one arm to catch up, prob take a few months, but you will get there

[Asker]

Thanks bro, hopefully, looks like it will take a while

[James687]

keep using dumbells, most likely it won't even be noticable for other people, its just genetics, just like my right pec and right arm re bigger than my left

[Asker]

Ok thanks broo
