Hi Brandon.

There's only 1 way to fix this problem.
Use your index finger on the arm that is weakest (it'll help balance out strength) to click the mouse cursor on links that will take you through to the bodybuilding general chat section & get working that finger on one or two of the numerous "One arm bigger than the other" threads that have already been started.

Start doing DB work if you arnt already. A slight difference is perfectly normal. I have the same problem where my left is larger but my right is stronger. Chose weights that your weaker arm can handle so that 1 arm is not taking over on exercises.

i usually do a extra set for my left at the end of an arm training day, so if i am training fore arms, biceps or triceps, then i will just do one extra set for that side, using a bumbell.

If you are not going to say anything productive don't say anything at all! Go to the dump or another forum if you want to keep posting pointless crap, its not funny.
