Imbalance
-
Alright, due to more frequent use of my dominant hand (right hand), i've came to a situation which many had probably encounter; the right hand being much more stronger than the left
Any advices?
And anyway, been going to the gym to try to correct this imbalance. I train my left arm more than the right arm, but there doesnt seem to be much result. In fact, i believe the imbalance got worse
Most of the time in the gym, i do 'exercises' that require both hands though. Is that the cause for the further imbalance?
Oh yeah. and since i've created a thread already, might as well ask more. Am 16 now, and more on the thin side. Difficult for me to gain weight, and its..ahh, frustrating. Should i go for the weight-gainer? -
dont tell me you are doing bicep curls only to correct the balance.
You dont need a mass gainer.Just eat every single food in sight.Whopper, char kway teow.. and eat like you have the hunger of 2 african children.EAT EAT EAT EAT EAT EAT EAT EAT.EAT every 2-3hrs.
When you have gained enough weight, its time to cut.Do cardio and lift weights for major muscles like legs,back,chest.Please dont go waste your time doing bicep curls the whole session, only morons do that.Thats why they never grow.
some experts recommand working out the weaker side first.I gotta check that out again to verify.
Most people tell me they eat a lot but what they eat is so freakin little. -

oh yeah. forgot to mention it ytd. for some reasons, my left arm just doesnt feel worked. it gets tired and everything, but the feeling of being worked just aint there. lol. and its harder to flex my left arm muscles than my right arm muscles as well

soreness doesnt indicate anything.
Sorer doesnt mean better.
You go to the gym to STIMULATE the muscles, the food and rest BUILDS it.
Muscles ARE NOT built in the gym. -

you mentioned eating anything and everything so with the extra intake of carbs...the cardio will burn them all off? -
