Symmetry help

fsdsk Posts: 959 Joined: 2003/11/30	2004/01/24, 08:51 AM When I do excersizes such as a kickback, concentration curl, one-arm row, etc... I am finding that my right side is not getting the same level workout as my left. I am using the same weight for both sides right now, should I increase weight on the right side or wait for the left side to catch up? Did that make sense? I am seeing progress on the left side, but very little on the right.

Since the injury I have always compensated by putting forth more effort with the right arm and now I need to catch up with the left so to speak. I look forward to reading the suggestions.
