    Left arm smaller then my Right one. What's the problem.

    Ok guys this might sound funny or whatever but I need some help here.

    My right arm is thicker than my left one (I'm right handed). What can I do to make them even.

    Thanks guys.

    Do more reps with left. Your just using your right more thats all. It's natural.

    That's what I thought but I just needed a second opinion.

    you know i posted the same thread about a yr and a half ago. my dilemna is that im right handed but my left arm is noticeabley(to me atleast) thicker, and has a much more visible peak. its about .5" thicker last time i measured. pretty much all the answers ive gotten was that its genetic lol. im still trying to bust through this tho. ive been adding a few sets with my right arm only on an off day.

    I wouldn't do more reps with one I would concentrate more on form. If that doesn't help isolate with db's.

    My left arm is about 1/4 inch smaller then my right. I never really worried about it, but you could isolate one side with different exercises. When you are working out, try to concentrate more on your left arm.

    My cousin's right arm looks like it has an extra muscle head. It's much bigger than his left, def genetics. I would do an extra set or two with the smaller to improve symetry.

    if you havent noticed, that's everybody. And yes I do mean everybody. Everyone has one side bigger than the other.

    Slightly bigger eye, bigger nostral, bigger arm, bigger nut, bigger foot...etc.

    It's just that some have it more than others.

    You don't have to be ashamed unless it's freak show noticable.

    Extra sets/rep for the arm will do anyway
