    Default If One Body Part Is Stronger or Bigger Than Another, Should I Skip It?


    info for pumping iron individual. lets goto the gym then hit it. get the symmetry that makes you a head turner.

    You could…

    Or you could let the non-dominant arm/side be the deciding factor when the
    set is over.

    You probably won't notice this with chest presses. Most people are
    concerned with this when it comes to arm exercises. Especially biceps. If I
    curl 50 lbs 8 times on my left arm and only 4 times on my right what should
    I do?

    Do 4 reps. And quit.

    The idea of using a different weight has been suggested but in order for a
    body part to grow it must be overloaded. I'd let the non-dominate side
    dictate the weight. Or have a spotter help you out. I usually start the set off
    with my right (being I'm left handed) so that I know when I've reached
    failure.

    If you were to use unequally weighted dumbbells, then your stronger side
    would need a heavier weight so that you reach failure about even. But that
    idea, while in theory sounds good, only serves to keep the gap growing.
    Why not let the weaker side catch up? I'd use the same weight. But I
    would let my weaker side dictate.

    Do you really want your stronger side growing faster? Probably not.

    I used to focus more on my lower body, but now I have to do back exercises to look more toned
