Thread: Really need a little bit of help/advice

lol the masterbation is it what's doing it... Na just kidding lol. I have this same problem, however I'm right handed and my right hand is bigger and more defined than my left yet my left is stronger? Very weird scenario. But since I was really self conscious about it I started reading about it and really one thing that I kept seeing pop up and up is don't do too much isolation exercises, do a lot more compound lifts, this way it's not just one muscle that gets attention it's your whole body, over time it fixes itself. It's also just genetics, your right arm might just genetically be larger, in that case trying to make your left just as big will cause further imbalances and make it worse in the end. So try for a few weeks doing compound lifts, ie... Bench, Over head press, incline, push press, barbell rows, pendlay rows, chin ups, etc... I hope this helps somewhat!

Oh I forgot, but try to avoid dumbell exercises for a while, because it's a lot harder to keep perfect form with two dumbells and that itself can cause imbalances. The lifts I mentioned up there are all with a barbell, try that for a while and see if anything changes, and try for a while to avoid isolation arm exercises. Your arms will get bigger from any compound lift you throw at it really.

How about for a few years lets do compound movements

dead lifts, front squats, back squats, power cleans, military press,

Honestly, after 3.5 weeks? I think you are over thinking about shit. Just calm down, continue to work out.

Since you've only been lifting for a few weeks I wouldn't worry about the imbalance just yet. The imbalance was created not as a result of lifting so there is a good chance that lifting might actually make both arms more symmetrical. In the meantime, try to focus on supplying proportionate force for both sides of your body when doing compound lifts and perfect your form before you try to impress the girls with how much you can lift.
