Brehs - I've been training properly for about 11 months. Fantastic gains. I trained previously for a couple years made some good gains but my form was pretty bad and my workouts had huge holes. Then I got injured for a year.

Now i'm back 11 months in. But there's one problem: My right bicep is way bigger than my left. Noticeably. I kinda look like Quagmire in that episode where he discovers online pornography. There's a pronounced vein in that bicep and it just looks bigger and rounder. I attribute my good bicep gains largely to pull-ups and there's no way to really balance that out. I've started doing single-arm curls but i've honestly never felt curls do wonders for biceps compared to rows/pull-ups. I guess I could do single arm rows too but I just don't feel it as much doing single arm exercises largely.

If u have isolateral lat machines at your gym use those. Do bent over DB rows too.

Really don't like one-handed DB rows. Get a much better feel from Pendlays and 2 arm bar rows.

Probably because you are able to put all the load on your strong arm. I used to have the same problem... my arms are a lot more even now since I switched to isolateral movements.
I'll give it a go. Since i've re-started training I haven't been on that ego tip. I consider rows a compound and with compounds rest time is just as important as reps. Using one hand makes timings all off.

time to get back on the IF wave....I had almost a month to indulge in my foods after warrior dash although I kept at it in the gym...but im not trying to go home thanksgiving n 6 weeks looking sloppy like I did last year

Look up (google) Lean gains protocol...preached my Martin Berkhan (if you not familiar that is) the guys research is solid science and pure gold when it comes to leaning down!

Lean gains is my current IF protocol, coupled with 5X5 strength training on a cut:wow:

465 pound dead lift, done yesterday at 6 in the morning off no real sleep the night before, i'm only weighing in at 195 hoping to break that 200 pound mark. Not sure how to upload the vid here but 500 is my goal for year end
