Muscle imbalances

[MooseMacD]

I'm about 4 months into strict dieting and training with the goal of building some serious size and strength (having spent about 18 months cutting 60lbs of fat). One of my biceps is noticeably larger than the other, and although this doesn't much bother me (so long as they're both big!), I think it ought to be corrected through my training. Do you think it's best to continue to build size and work the smaller one a bit harder than the other, with the intention that it would slowly catch up to the stronger bicep, or should I train the stronger bicep only enough to keep its mass while I train the smaller bicep hard enough to gain mass? Hopefully I've made myself clear enough that someone can lend me some experienced thoughts.

Thanks in advance!!

if you work out the weaker arm more in order to catch up to the stronger one you will still cause an imbalance. the best thing to do is repeat the same exact number of sets and reps for both arms. workout your weaker arm till failure and work out the stronger arm until you have done the same amount of reps, although it will not be at failure. this way you keep the balance and give time to the weaker one to grow without causing the stronger one to fall behind.

That makes sense. Thanks a lot I'll keep that up for the next while and see what happens!
