When I work out my arms my right arm feels a lot more worked out than the left. Its making me mad because I want to exercise them both. I thought maybe because I'm right handed and I use my right arm all day that since that it's more strained throughout the day that it gets worked out harder. Anyone know anything about this?
I used to feel that when I used nautilus machines... it's too easy to cheat with one side of your body. I switched to free weights, and that worked for me. When you're lying on that bench balancing a couple hundred pounds of iron over your neck, you learn real quick to even things out!
heres one you can try to make you feel as if both arms have been worked! do your normal bicep work out except this time use lets say10 to 15 kg weights do 15 reps then another then another then another maybe another? now how do you feel?! i always get a laugh when i've gone down the gym and got the "muscle men" to do this. even though its a smaller weight once you do some reps (more than usual) it become harder. sounds as if you're probably using your back to lift the weight though i maybe wrong. your back shouldn't be used to pull the weight up, no cheating by swinging the weights to get some momentum to the lift, maybe get a proper trainer to help you work your arms properly- beware though some of these characters will end up getting you to injure yourself by getting you to lift stuff you're not ready to do-ask around thoroughly before deciding who to use. as for your left arm, sure, if your right arms stronger its not going to be worked out more than the left arm, whats happening by using weights properly is a more even strength across arms, you're not getting weaker, just evenly stronger
