Different sized muscles???

Post by tom163 »

I was just wondering has anyone had the problem of having two of the same muscles different sizes??? I have one forearm 5cm bigger than the other and also I have a bigger peck on the my right than my left. I hav'nt been working one more than the other to my knowledge so I dunno lol. Feel free to laugh as I think it will be another one of them things that will only happen to me :lol:

Cheers

I sort of have the same, I put a book under my left hand I was doing press-ups, elevated it up. Or get a powerball, and use it in your left hand.

Werid isn't it? I just thought that because I was right-handed, I just tended to use that arm more.

Or you could try w*nking with your left! :o

I alternate yanking arms. lol


No part of you're body is proportionate to the other, there is usually two of every muscle in the body an none will be the same size. (Don't quote me on that, it's what I learnt from anatomy studies)

I'm fairly sure these things even out in the end, nothing much to worry about. I hope so anyway!

It's a good idea to work all of you're muscles to the same pace and time ect, so maybe using the smallest arm for a few activities should help after a months or so.

Glad we could help.

If your right handed your right arm will be bigger then your left
If you kick with your right leg that will be bigger then your left, you work them sides more even with out you knowing it..

We know that Taliban.

Like every ones said, just even the work load *I've also one this for odd sized four arm (due to a machine i use at work) works a great deal*

I have a theory that if one arm is weaker then the other, pull ups would be slightly harder as you're lifting more with you're stronger arm.. would this be correct?
