The forum's search engine doesn't let you enter words less than 4 characters, so it was impossible for me to find a thread about one arm being less tone than the other arm.

For a long ass time now I've noticed that the bicep on my right arm looks huge when I flex it and the muscle buldges out A LOT, but the muscle on my left bicep is much much less pronounce when I flex it, and doesn't pop out half as much as the muscle on my right arm does.

I've tried doing extra sets exclusively with my left arm for the past few weeks, yet it still doesn't seem to be catching up to the progress I make with my right arm. Obviously, my question is how do I make them match (or at least get the left closer to the mass of the right)? Am I doing something wrong when I workout? Or could it just be that there's more fat in my left arm than there is in my right arm?

I had much the same thing after playing tennis for several years. When working out at the gym, try to use dumbells as much as possible. Stay away from the machines and as much as you can, the barbells as well.

When using the dumbells, there is no opportunity for your strong side to help out the weaker side when lifting. Only do as many sets and reps that your weaker side can handle. I.e. if your left arm can only do 8 reps of a particular weight, then also only do 8 on your right arm even though you will be able to do more.

Using dumbells will also build up the smaller complimentary muscles that ensure smooth movement and balance.

Others may have some quicker ways, but when it comes to developing symmetry, I have always been a big advocate for the use of dumbells.

Stop Jacking OFF:D :D

Its all natural. Everyman has it in his dominent hand. Just focus more on the other arm while working out. If you don't believe me that even pro weight lifters have it watch them bech and notic one hand goes higher than the other. NO one notices much.

Maybe that's what my problem is then.

I rarely use dumbells to curl. Nine times out of ten I use barbells and do my sets over a preacher bench. Guess I should start doing dumbells.

Oh and Darkfalcon: Here's something for you to gnaw on..
I don't jack off... with my hands.

You got this thread way off topic but I'll answer you cause I'm bored and have no shame.

Instead of using my hands, I take a small towel (they're a little bigger than a hand towel), unfold it and put my **** all the way at the left side of it. Then, I wrap the towel around my **** from right to left, until it won't fold anymore. The reason why I fold it this much is obviously to make sure it feels tight, and also so that the jizz can't go through the towel and stain something else (out of paranoia). After all that is setup, I lie stomach side down on bed/couch/whatever, and put the towel on top of a pillow or cushion so that there's some lift/friction, and you can figure out what I do next.

Towel goes straight into the washer when I'm done, but that's of course only if I don't pass out and fall asleep right there with it wrapped around me, which happens a lot.

I used to use ripped up/discarded pillow cases for like baby pillows, until I realized the only way to get the stains out was to burn the pillow case, and I had to hide them afterwards when I was still living at home.

All of this may sound pathetic and disgusting, but it feels more realistic (for me) to actually having sex, since I'm humping something instead of having to move my hands up and down. I ride them, they don't ride me. Ever since I came up with this idea (which was YEARS ago when I was like 13 or 14 because my parents were finding tissues/toilet paper with jizz on them in the bathroom trash cans), I've completely stopped jacking off with my hands. This helped me get better ejaculatory control too during real intercourse cause we all know (well I guess some of you don't, heh) that moving a hand up and down over your **** is completely opposite of thrusting away when you're inside of a girl's ****.

Try this one. I don't remember where i heard it but

Take your **** I guess you could use a towel or something but make sure you wrop it so it can slide. Take your **** and slide it in between your matresses. THen ...:eek: well you know.
(never tried it so you'll have to report back)

Anyway I perfer hands. Its not realistic sure but it gets the job done and quicker. But good for you I'm glad your Special. never found the need to jack off really. I might do it once a month so i'm not that concerned how it happens. I only do it if I'm gonna get ble balls or if I'm to horny
