Stupid question of the day:
If you're right handed, is it normal for your left arm to be weaker? Anyone else have this?
(in before masturbation jokes)
mines weird...my right arms stronger in a sense...
However...I tend to beable to lift more with my Right, but my left arm lifts slightely less...Yet if i'm doing alternating arms my right arm will fatigue quicker than my left
I'm not a lefty though, I have a soul.
my left is simply stronger, could be due to my injury in my right. But Who knows
I can't beleive i misread the one sentence you wrote, my only excuse is that it's friday lol

I'm right handed and my right arm seems to be stronger in everything except single arm rows in which my left always surpasses by a few reps

I'm a freak
My Left arm seems to be stronger when it comes to Tricep exercises
My Right arm is definitely stronger when it comes to Bicep exercises
Been doing this exercise, not sure if its worth it or not, some of the comments seem silly.

a lot of the guys saying that there left is stronger when they are right handed, may not actually be right handed.
i am left handed, but when i went to school, i was taught to write with my right hand, because everyone was taught to use their right hand.
i now use my left hand for some things and my right for others.
snooker, eating - left hand
writing, golf - right hand
my hand writing is terrible, i think this is a consequence of being taught to write with my wrong hand. the way i hold a pen is like a left but in my right hand, anyone who see's me write is always shocked at the way i hold my hand.
it also takes me a lot longer than the average person to write, doing essay's at uni for exams for example. some people would be on their 3rd sheet and i was finishing off my first. i have noticed my pace being a lot slower the older i got and having to write a lot more. what also has had a big impact is computers. we type everything. send txt's and emails instead of letters. i never ever write unless im forced to and as a consequence it has really gone down the drain.
anyway, the point i was trying to make was, a lot of righties will actually be lefties.

Been using the new squat cage at my gym for the last 3 weeks and my confidence to squat heavy is slowly being restored. My leg strength has slowly dropped over the last two years due to my mate changing shifts and having no one to push or spot me regularly but now the cage is there I'm aiming big again. Hoping to get back up to 200K by Christmas and then I'll be gunning for 10 plates by April

I personally don't think his body is that impressive, very achievable.
He says he's using a spotter to prevent swinging his back:

He swings his back.
This is the best, check how he jumps onto the lat pull down, 2:20

There was a girl in the free weights section, every bit of 5'11", skinny, tan, long blonde hair and short shorts doing stiff legged deadlifts - Now that was off putting

Still wouldnt mind it
But yeah he is a tool, id hate to be in a gym with him screaming and breathing like hes giving birth.
Really?
He's got a good level of bodyfat but personally for me his delts are too small and his back needs more width.
