LEFT bicep is smaller than the right...?

[bballer3]

there is a noticeable difference in strength (in squeezing out the last reps for the bar-bell curls) where its so much harder to get the left one up.. there is a noticeable size difference too that my right bicep is bigger.. what should i do about this? is it anything to worry about?

thanks

keep going with the same weight for both biceps (be it bar or dumbells) (still raise the overall weight when you can)

DO NOT use a heavier weight on the lagging side, as the left will catch up eventually.

i agree that the lagging side will catch up eventually. i had surgery on a torn bicep tendon on my right arm a few years back, and it took a while but it's now back to full strength.

just keep working at it, and good luck!

Start jerking off with the left hand....

this is coming from the guy who "ghey" doing barbell curls, right?

Anyways, are you left handed? I am, and my left bicep, and my whole arm is naturally stronger than my right arm

so why is it laggin in the first place ???

how do i know for sure its not just going to keep getting worst??


might right bicep is bigger than the left and it looks pretty stupid.. i barely do bicep curls but when i do i use heavier on the one laggin....

so should i stop that?? does anyone have more insight info on this?

i used to have a big strength difference between my left and right. What I did:

Finished my set, rested a few seconds, then busted out a couple more with the lagging arm. I didn't change weights or anything, but as long as you only rest it for a few seconds you get a little bit of rest but you're still doin the curls with a pretty exhausted muscle to build its endurance. If you can curl the weight in the first place, then its not the strength in the muscle thats the problem, it's the endurance and development of it. Adding a couple extra sets or reps for that lagging arm will kick its ass up to where it needs to be.

That's your answer.

When I noticed a slight difference in my arms, I did my sets like I'd normally do them, place my weights down, take a breath and a 2 or so second rest, then lift a weight with my left arm for another 1-2 reps.

Use dumbbells for the majority of your workouts from now on. Use close grip underhand pullups as well. Both these techniques helped bring up my right bicep . Hope this helped.

my left arm is smaller than my right arm although when i do db bench presses my left arm is stronger than my right, pretty weird lol
