one arm bigger than the other
for some reason one arm is bigger than the other.....and i lift the same with each one.actualy the one that appears smaller is actually stronger than the bigger more shaply looking one.......could this be due to the fact that i had tommy john surgery(elbow surgery) in highschool and i couldent use it for 6 months during my years of prime natural test levels....could it be due to the fact that i was a pitcher...or in all seriousness do i need to switch up my dick skinner........stupid question but im serious cause it bothers the shit out of me...plus it just looks stupid

ive been told the same thing over and over again.....i can tell everytime i look in the mirror or just look at my arms....the only way people can tell is if i say something about it or they notice that one arm fills out a shirt more than the other arm...its ****ing stupid and very frustrating

i had the same problem.i solved it by added 5-10 lbs extra on bench press on my left side and did more reps on bicepts and tris on the weaker side.after about a couple of good cycles ,2 years later you can hardly tell.now i feel that my left is stronger than my right.it worked for me.

well i have noticed the same thing in my biceps. My right arm has always been stronger then my left so i started working my left harder then my right. Now my left bicep looks better then my right although it is not any stronger. So you need to evulate your goals. If you are a power lifter and care about strength then concentrate on making your arms of equal strength but If you are body building then work the smaller arm harder until it matches the other.

most lifters have this problem, you have a dominant side of the body, hence being right hand or left hand, even the pros aren't perfectly proportioned.. if you don't believe me study the pics, some pros may look proportionate but who knows if they used synthol inthe lagging side just do your best to work the weaker side more..
i do NOT suggest doing bench press and having one side heavier then the other..

the funny thing is im left handed and its my left arm that is stronger but it is smaller and it looks like shit.....i have no peak at all its almost just flat when i flex it......thats why im not sure if it has to do with the fact that i had elbow surgery..or was a pitcher my whole life...or if its just from beating off....its ****ing agrivating though
man ill have to measure.... alls i know is that my right arm fills out my sleeve significantly more than my left one....and that was the only one i measured because it was bigger and my and my buddy would always get into at the gym about whose arms were bigger so we would have the chick at the gym measure them...
