Hey bros..just a question which has been bugging me for a while. I'm a right hander by nature but my left arm is a inch bigger than the right.I've always trained both of them equally hard. I've got 2 questions. 1stly, is this a common dilemma or is it something that i'm doing wrong?
Lastly,should i put more poundage on my right arm and keep it a little lesser on the left? HELP!

Many people's arms are slightly uneven in size. Some even have different muscle shapes genetically on both sides, I wouldn't worry about it too much. I'd suggest doing perhaps 2 or 3 more reps on the smaller arm on each exercise you do for arms until you see some 'evening out'. An inch difference is perhaps a bit more than usual, so try doing those extra reps and see if that works out for you.

thanks bro.. will try that.. maybe i'll just do a set more for the smaller arm.
