Do I have a problem?

[BringDaBlitz94]

Whenever I lift, the next day the left side of my body is more sore than the right. Is it that my left side is weaker? My form is good but I can always push out two more reps with my right side than left but I make sure I do the same number of reps on each side. So could it just be that my left is weaker so it has to grow more to lift a certain weight compare to my right?

Ya use more DBs if you are worried about it. Most people are slightly stronger/bigger on one side.

I would not worry if your form is good like you say

also when I flex my right bicep it turns into a round ball kind of but when I flex my left arm it barely changes, almost as if it were unflexed. any tips?

How could he not be using dbs if he can always pump out more reps with the right? lol, hard to tell something like that with a barbell

It's called asymmetry. Don't let it bug you, a lot of people face the same 'problem' you do.

My left bicep is 1/2" bigger than my right, it also has a significantly better peak. My left foot is 1/2 size bigger than my right, but somehow the same ring will be loose on my left hand but tight on the right hand. I also tend to get a bit of a rotated pelvis if I don't get adjusted reasonably regularly - turns out I'm also a bit shorter in one leg than the other, which leads to that imbalance. I'm right-hand dominant but it always seems like my left side is stronger. Could it be that my left side is stronger in terms of tending to provide the stability while my right side handles the finer movements?

In other words, don't worry about it - its normal. Your strength / weakness could be the result of your build and the subsequent push/pull balance and simply your structural ability to build more or less.

(My interpretation of it at least )

I said use MORE DBs, he could be doing DBs for one exercise once a week for all I know. Don't be an asshole, this is the second time you've said some smartass shit to me for no reason. Either add some advice to the thread, or put up a counter point if you think someone is wrong, or keep your comments to yourself.

Lol God forbid someone be a smartass.. anyway I agree with sassy, its normal to have slight differences in strength/size on each side of the body, but to even it out do more exercises that challenge each side individually, like ihateschool said db presses are a good way to do that, try alternating presses, iso lateral machine presses and focus on using the same range of motion for each side, eventually you should see symmetry.

Or just simply adding more mass. The bigger you are the less noticeable it becomes.

My right nut is bigger then my left.

thats normal

 

[soooooawesome]

Also try starting sets with your weaker side. It is pretty easy to fall into a pattern of starting sets with our dominant side. Provided you are properly training your left side will catch up as our bodies are great at adapting to demands placed upon it.

That's normal. when i flex my arms in front of a mirror, I can tell the difference between left and right biceps. It pisses me off, but I'm working on it.
