Arm Definition in right, not in left

[nineweare]

I'm currently doing the tank top arms rotation and am *finally* getting some definition in my arms, but I'm lopsided! I can see the muscles in my right arm/shoulder, but not my left. What do I do to even this out? Add more weights to the left side of my barbell? Do heavier dumbells on the left side? Start my reps on the left side? (of course with the barbell I can't do that!) Thanks for any tips you can give!

I have the same problem. Reason (I think) because I am right handed and generally use my right hand more often.

I just noticed you have 7 kids! WOW! Maybe picking up your youngest has also made your right arm more defined.

I'm interested in hearing others opinions. I'd do more reps. with your left arm.

If you are using a barbell you are probably cheating unconsciously by using you right side more. I was doing this as well. I figured it out because I was getting sore on one side only. The cure for this is to use dumbells wherever possible so that your left side has to work just as hard.

When you do work both sides at once, make a conscious effort to use the left side more.
