    My left arm is more defined than my right

    My right arm is my dominant arm. I have been lifting for about 4 months non stop at the gym and my routine goes like this.
    Monday: Chest and Biceps. RushFit a few hours later
    Tuesday: Back and triceps. Cardio
    Wednesday: Shoulders. RushFit a few hours later
    Thursday: Legs and abs. RushFit a few hours later
    Friday: Chest and Biceps. RushFit a few hours later
    Saturday: RushFit
    Sunday: Rest.
    Repeat.
    When I do biceps or triceps I do the same workout with each arm the same weight and reps yet I notice my left arm is significantly more defined than my right. I would have thought this to b the opposite and my right would define slightly faster than my left as I am right handed. Is this normal and what should I do to see the results in both arms.

    It's normal for beginners to notice all manner of imbalances in their bodies both in strength as well as appearance.


    Just continue to train all of your muscle groups in porportion, and then see where you're at in another 6 months.
    No brain, no gain.

    My nutrition is pretty hardcore. I follow the RushFit nutrition guide to the letter. I have seen amazing results so far I was just curious about the definition. I have lost 45 lbs in the past 8 months. Im about where I want to be and now im toning. Just figured I might be doing something wrong for my strong arm to be less tone thatn my weaker arm. Thanks for the insight and advice guys. Happy training.

    It's 80% diet, 20% workout and 100% in the mind.

    If you can read or carry on a conversation, you ain't working out.

    To be different the only thing you have to do is stand fast when the herd moves.

    Parking your s**t on a bench ain't the same thing as using it!

    I have the same thing. My theory is that since I am right handed, I tend to carry everything with my left (my son, packages, luggage, etc), leaving my right to do things that take more coordination (open doors, work the remote).

    Again, just my theory, but I make an effort to do a little more with my right arm during one arm type exercises to try to even them out.

    Op my right shoulder is way less developed than my left. Alot due to rotator cuff tear but suprisingly enough, it is actually starting to fill in more as time goes by.. Females have the same gripes about their boobs as well so don't sweat it man!

    Interesting. My right arm (I'm right handed) has a extra muscle "bump" on it, just off the elbow. I asked my GP and a physical therapist about it...both said...they've never seen it before...but don't worry about it.
