Question to wise ones about a weaker arm and strength training.
I think the answer to this is already obvious, but...
My left side couldn't be used as early as my right after my surgeries, plus I'm right handed. I'm finding with strength training that my left side is tired quicker with exercises, by about 2-4 reps. Particularly bad in an exercise such as, lying on the floor/bench and lifting a weight up and straight back, over my head toward the floor. My left shoulder feels really unhappy. So today I dropped the weights to only what my left side could deal with/be pushed to do.
I'm assuming that it's better I don't work the right side 'more' than the other, until the left side has caught up?? If with some movements it's only struggling by 2-4 reps then with those I should persevere? But with the example I gave I should only do what my left side can manage, even if it means my right side isn't working at all?
