My right bicep is far superior to my left arm. I am attempting to give my left arm priority but my right is still outdistancing the left. I don't want to ignore my right arm until the left catches up but that is what I am thinking of doing.

The right just looks fuller, it basically bigger, owns it's own stock portfolio.... etc.

Suggestions?

Wrong forum. Please ignore.

No...you're at the right place. Or, did you mean that you should post on, "Training"?

Here's what I would do:

Drop lifting with bar bells and go to dumb bells or train them individually. Do one set with the weaker arm only.

Barbell rows, do you normal sets, then add a DB row for left only.

Add about 2 to 3 sets extra in that manner. Lat pulldowns, do one set with the left only on the cable. If your bicep is falling back, then your entire left side just may be weaker. Check out the tri's/lats as well. Follow the same pattern if needed for tri's.

Excellent. I'll do that and see what happens over a six week period. I'm sure it will help.

Thanks for the thoughts.

I'm not sure if that post was clear after reading it again.

By saying, "Drop barbell..." I meant bicep work only in being specific about a smaller bicep.

"Adding 2 to 3 sets..." meant to add a total of 2 to 3 extra on the weaker arm.

Here's the example:
3 sets bentover rows, add one set DB let side
3 sets lat (cable) pull down, add one set with left side only using the cables where you do tricep work.
No machines or barbells for bicep work. All DB or cable work, single arm to isolate then add one more set of each on bicep.

3 right
4 left and so forth

Does this make better sense?

Frank

It does, but I understood what you meant the first time. Thanks for taking the time to clarify though.

Just wanted to report in on this post, b/c I have been applying Frank's principles to my workout routine. I'm about 10 weeks post surgery for my torn pec and so my results may be a little different since I've attacked this relatively soon after surgery. Basically, in 2 weeks I've got my arms less than 1/4" of each other. My arms are not at full size yet. They were 18" cold before my injury and now are around 17 3/4" left and 17 2/3" right. I'm so happy with the results and progress. The really big news is that my right arm began at 17" and left at 17.5"! So that's like 2/3" of an inch in 2 weeks on the right! LOL. INSANE! Must be muscle memory. Don't forget. Your arms are 2/3rds triceps and a lot of magic happens there. LOL.
Now, I'm going to apply these principles to shoulders and eventually chest once the doc gives the go ahead on chest. I'll keep you posted, but I've seen excellent results from this.
Cheers!

p.s.I'll post some follow up pics soon.

Yeah, you recover a lot faster after an injury than putting on the muscle the first time.

WonderMonkey-
Have you ever injured your left shoulder, elbow, or pec? A lot of times imbalances following injury are never fully recovered. What exactly are your measurements for right and left side?
