My right arm is bigger than my left so I want to switch to dumbbells soI can even them out. How can I convert weight from bb to db? I feel like I'll have to start at a small weight and work my way up over again.

They'll even out on their own you pussy bitch.

I thought that, too, but the gap between my left and right arm is getting worse. Been lifting almost 4 months. I think I just have shit form.
>>
just do pullups and chinups OP and switch hands when you jack off

You do. Fix that and they'll even out

Masturbate with your other hand.

I've been trying. I don't really like it and it hasn't changed much.

Don't listen to this faggot. >>37668211

You switch to dumbbells and isolate the muscle groups you feel are imbalanced

it hasnt changed because you've probably been jerking it with your right for years.
just keep lifting, it'll work itself out unless you're doing weighted jerks.

That was just a joke. My right arm has gotten a lot bigger while my left arm is always stalling behind and it's starting to be a noticeable difference. I think I'm going to switch to dumbbells.

I think I was just wondering if there is a conversion of barbell to dumbbell weight. I don't even know where to start. Half?

Protip, pick up a dumbbell in the gym and see how it feels. Maybe even try the exercise with it.

>Tfw I started jerking with my left because my penis had a curve
>Can't jerk with my right anymore after a decade, feels weird
>>
>>37671709
That's a really good tip. Thanks.
>>
>>37671687
its stalling because you're favoring your right while lifting. deload a bit and make sure you're keeping the bar even.

Half TOTAL weight is a good starting point when converting from a barbell exercise to Dumbbell until you have the hang of it.

On exercises where you do alternating reps, start with your weak side first so you don't end up doing 15 reps strong side, 8 reps weak side.

For exercises where you do reps both sides at the same time, focus on the mind/muscle connection of your weak muscle. The strong will follow automatically as long as you keep the weak in check.

Example, you bench 80kg barbell, start out with 20kg dbs and work your way up.
