Which hand is your dominant hand?

I always get a better pump in my right arm, and my right arm is stronger (dominant arm). The muscles on my right arm also look slightly better (better shape, more chiselled so to say) but my left arm is indeed bigger.

My right arm is dominant.

Both my arms are a very similar circumference (right is like 1cm bigger), but my right lateral tri doesn't look quite as big as the left.

With the coming back from being sick, I usually drop the weight to get out more reps, so i keep it to at least 8 reps for the first 2 sets if I'm doing 4 sets.

Its demoralizing as all f**k, but I don't like only doing 5/6 reps. It feels like I've cheated myself in a way...

Either way coming back from a sickness sucks. You can usually tell when you are coming down with something though, because you inexplicably drop a few reps more than usual

While we're on the topic, what do people usually do when they come back from illness / a week or two off from the gym? Regular weight and just deal with pushing out less reps of it? Or drop the weight to shoot for the regular amount of reps?

Eat... everything I can lay my hands on as soon as appetite comes back... then go to the gym with the intention of taking it easy, ignore that intention, try and lift heavy, get frustrated, leave... go home and eat more lol

Ahahahaha this made me lol. It really makes you appreciate the level you were training at prior to the sickness...puts things in perspective. Don't know how Olympic athletes do it, who are at training at the peak of their body's ability...the drop back from being sick must take weeks/months to get back.

    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 馃槢
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments   
    • Me coming to check the thread to see if my manual boost controller was set up correct......  
    • Ah yes but were you responsible? In the time I've had it (just before Christmas) I spun off the track twice and drove into things twice, so four separate incidents.. in two outings. Luckily I have a full OEM GTR front end to put on which is hopefully not a precursor for further, future, more expensive mistakes to come. It is some consolation that anyone who would want to buy my Altia bar would have to paint it anyway, the guards, too. (if they can get over the asymmetry). Hopefully over the weekend I will disassemble and see how badly things are bent. From what it looks like, the headlight has actually just been pushed back and bent the headlight support (which .. somehow... crushed the guard in). I guess the headlight plastic is strong stuff.
