    Uneven biceps size

    Hey guys, I noticed that my biceps are pretty uneven, my left arm biceps is a bit bigger than right arm even though I am right handed. I started working out around 3-4 months ago and while both my arms muscles got stronger and bigger, left arm is bigger, especially biceps and forarm.


    I am corrently on 14Kg Dumbells for both arms, but I have no idea how left arm got bigger than right arm. I wasn't working out since I was a teen and had trauma at 17 (now I am 21), when I actually damaged my left arm pretty bad (broke my hand and one of legs, bone in my arm went out).

    So when 3 months ago I decided to start working out my left arm was much weaker than right arm. I had to take lighter dumbells so I could at least do 6-8 reps on left arm, or lighter barbell for 8-10 reps as well. Issue is my left arm still feels weeker than right arm, even though I went from 8kg dumbells to 14kg right now. I can push 7-9 reps max on left arm, while with right arm I do 10-12 with same weight. Why the hell my left arm is a bit bigger then? Any suggestions on evening out the size? It'sn ot huge difference, but noticible.

    P.S.
    Sorry for crappy english, not a native speaker.

    everyone has uneven muscle size's, i to broke my right arm (my dominant/fapping hand) and it is about 0.4 inch smaller than my left - just continue training them evenly - use the same weight/same reps for each arm. it is extremely normal for one arm to be bigger than the other - to the untrained eye no one will notice it.
