    Arm Size/Strength Synchronization Question

    So i have been thinking about this a little bit lately and i know the standard answer to catching up a weak arm to a strong arm you know hit your one arm exercises da da da. so i was thinking. lets say hypothetically your max concentration curl was, oh,,, 30lb for your left and 35lb for your right. so obviously we have a wee bit of a problem. now riddle me this. lets say you are doing barbell curls in a perfect world with 60 pounds. so in a perfect world each arm would be lifting 30 lbs each. now since one of your arms is stronger then the other the weak arm is having to do a higher weight in terms of percentage of its 1 RM so wouldnt this arm technically be recieving more hypertrophic stimulation then the other since the muscle is under more stress, therefore allowing it to catch up to the other in terms of strength/size? just a fun topic i would like to hear your opinions.

    Not necessarily. The stronger arm will tend to "pick up the slack" of the weaker arm more.

    The body is designed to adapt and learn to do actions in ways that become easier on the body as a whole. You'd have to focus on making the stronger arm not dominate the lift and force more load onto the weaker one. It is why people suggest using unilateral movements, to make doing this easier.
