Even Bar during exercise
If the bar goes up even during, for example bench, incline or preacher curl, an exercise does this mean that both sides of the body are being worked at the same time. Last week I was having a problem with Incline bench when I would do the reps normal my left arm would be higher and then my right side. But when I tried to keep the bar even if felt like I was only lifting with my right side and felt practically nothing in my left side. My spotter said that when I when to full extension my left arm was higher. Please help with explaining some solutions. Thanks

Solution: Use dumbbells. This will force your arms to work independently of one another and with greater intensity. Use the same weight for both arms and eventually the strength will be forced to even out.

I have never heard of anyone doing that, and I've been lifting for 23 years

I have no idea who taught you that and I know it wan't cowpimp. If your going to give advice, please do it correctly instead of putting out something stupid. Someone might just be reading your replies. Originally Posted by kenwood

Obviously he didn't think it was incorrect, or else he wouldn't have posted it. Originally Posted by Tough Old Man
