Unhappy Right arm stronger than the left

I write with my right hand and of course it is stronger. When I workout out with the dumbbells I can't complete my 3rd set because my left gives out, but I find I can keep going with my right. Is there a remedy to this condition?

perhaps rest longer between your sets so your left arm can be fullly recovered or use lighter weight with your left? most people's dominant arm is a bit stronger than their other arm so its normal.

not sure if this is universal, but this is what i did to correct the problem. i'll go unitl failure...meaning, unitl your left can no longer finish. and then, i'll do an extra set with just the left (on chest, holding the right db just for balance) until failure. it will catch up!

concentration curls with the left arm, focus on building up your left arm, thats the only way.

Facing same...only my left is stronger than the right one... So this is what i did and already noticing changes:

for whatever the exercise is I used dumbells instead of barbells so as i can work them separately, then i do failures for each arm so both of them shud be equally worked! two weeks and there is a lot of improvement for me!
