Question about body building

[A$AP Wap]

How do you even out the strength between your dominant arm and your weak arm?
My left arm feels like it's half as strong as my right arm.
How do I get it to feel like they're equal?

...and please don't link me to any websites. Just tell me if you know.

Work it twice as hard plain and simple. More reps more weight. Itll even out eventually

All I've been doing is just working out the weak arm a little bit more than my strong arm. xD
I've been doing both of them and it only seems to get my strong arm stronger.

It might b bcuz on ur stronger arm ur actually using correct form and doing the complete motion. When u work out ur weaker arm make sure u use proper form and make the complete motion of whichever exercise ur doing. Flex all the way down and all the way up for example if ur doing curl ups

I'm no body builder but maybe try and Isolate the individual arm Bicep, Tricep and shoulders? Like maybe add 5 more weight for a week or so and DO Tricep Extension, Tricep Pressdown, Tricep Nautilus machines, Hammer curls, Military press etc with the weaker arm? AGain Don't take my advice this is just something maybe to consider? Honestly if you do weighted dips with proper form both arms are gonna have to push down close to the same amount of force. military press with dumbells forces both arms to be strong independently of one an other, because you are pressing weights over head with two dumbells.

Use proper form. even if you have to use half the weight of your stronger arm. Form is everything when it comes to building muscle. Once you get the form down you can start to increase the weight to catch the other arm. But most people favor one arm or another and no matter how hard you work you use one arm more so its always gonna be stronger

Yeah, my Right Arm is making my Left Arm look like a complete bitch. xD

If you keep a consistent workout routine they will even out.

I didn't have this much of a problem but my right arm has always had more endurance and strength than my left. Some suggestions i've heard some of my buddies do is start with your weak arm first when working out, even if you rotate dumbell curls, you should start with your weak arm and rotate, once you get finished with your weak arm but your strong arm can do more, stop. Over time your weak arm will develop and your strong arm will still be able to keep up, well because it's your strong arm. Also some things they suggested are doing natural everyday things to help increase your weak arm, like carrying a heavy bag of groceries with it, using it to carry your schoolbag with all your books, just trying to incorporate the weak arm more into your daily life will help strengthen it.

That's what some of my buddies at the Gym suggest, my arms have kind of evened out but my right arm can do a few more reps (Say 2-3 more) Of course this depends on what i've done/eaten that day too, for Thursdays( My arm day) If i've eaten like crap i'll feel like crap and I may not be able to do my dumbell curls correctly, or if i'm tired from work I may not be able to go as heavy as I usually do. Having one arm half as strong as the other? Did you injure yourself or has it always been that way? Something more is to make sure you're working out your legs as well, your body will want to maintain equilibirum, if your lower body gets stronger your upper body will get stronger, any big guy at the gym will tell you that.

Try spanking your monkey with your non-dominant hand for about a month, you'll start to notice a difference.
