I broke my left arm in 5th grade and it seems to have made it harder for me to develop muscle in my left arm. Now I am right handed so I do most tasks with my right arm and stuff and to me it looks like my right arm from my forearm all the way to my bi, tris ect is larger and more define. Now when I work out I use the same amount of weight on both sides obviously and everything feels the same. I have the same amount of strength in both arms, so is there anyway for my left arm to catch up in mass or is it just always going to me smaller and less define?

Ok so your not helping the guy with your lame sense of humor. The only thing your helping is your post count which is pretty selfish!
What I would do is up your weight for your left arm and do smaller reps. Read up on how to build mass for your arms too and apply it only to your left arm.

I had the same problem before I started regularly working out, but after 6 months, my other forearm (and other muscles) have caught up. Stay away from machine-type weights, even most bar lifts that require two hands. Things like benching with matching dumbells, etc.

either quit jerking off so much, or switch it up and do "the stranger".

That can have potential damaging effects... don't ask how I know. Just maintain the status quo on that. No fucking with the routine on that shit.

Your "gf" hand got jealous too? :(
If the strength is the same for now, then just keep working. Eventually it'll catch up, but don't expect the two to ever be identical, it's not possible.

I wouldn't say this is a good plan. You want to maintain symmetry so don't throw off your left/right strengths. This is actually a terrible idea as you will start to torque your body to force your stronger side to compensate for your weaker side.
You may never reach perfect symmetry of size, but I would say your best bet would be to put on more mass making the size difference less noticeable.
Keep in mind this may not be the answer as im no physician and know alot of guys that have never gotten perfect symmetry...but can tell you strengthening one side over the other is a bad idea.

I guess i'm jsut not going to worry about it. My strength is there I guess the if the size wants to catch up than it will. Doubt it will though it's been like 12 years. lol

There's a joke here somewhere but I can't quite place my finger on it.
