I wouldnt say your left is stronger, Your right is probably just a little more tired from being used doing everyday things more...It does not seem right that your left would be stronger IMO.

I try and do a lot of every day things with my left arm. It seems to be working very well. Also, when I put the weights back I always use my left to do it. Try it out

well one of the reasons about my triceps is that my left is cut more horizontally then my right which has more of a slant to it. Ill try to take a pic to show this if i can. my biceps are close to the same except that my right one is more rounded out so it looks bigger

Muscle shape will also often be different, Arnold's biceps didn't match. My left tricep shows more definition, but my left arm is half an inch smaller. Thats life.

My left arm is 1/4-1/2" smaller than the right and I am left handed. I think the bicep insertion(?) is shorter....
I read years ago in an Ellington Darden book ("The Nautilus book") I think it was called, that your 'dominant' side (ie in my case the left) ends up smaller. I can't remember , I read that book in 1991. I'll have to check it up with google.
Anyway, as Squaggleboggin says , probably no one else notices!

my left arm is stronger and more cut then my right and i'm right handed, my right arm fatigues faster than my left and it weaker. My left arm always feels the burn after a workout and yeah it's very irritating. when i flex in the mirror my left tricep and bicep is way more developed than my right and i hate it!! i use DBs for everything when i do arm day but it hasn't corrected itself!! ugh!!
