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.
