Beginner's query

    Recently, after many months of hesitating and procrastinating, I've started Starting Strength . Apart from a gym session back in secondary, this is my first experience of lifting.

    Because of this, I don't have much upper body strength at all. At the moment, my right bicep is slightly bigger than my left. This is mainly because I use it to lift most things and not due to my being a chronic masturbater :pac:

    Will my left and right eventually become the same size or should I do additional exercises to try and speed up the process?

    I think I can see an imbalance when I squat as well. It looks like I'm tilting slightly over to my right leg. Will this go eventually?

    Thanks.

    There was another boards poster who used to post here called Makikomi - he did bodybuilding as far as I recall. He said once that when it comes to asymettrical arms/chest, just go on as normal and they will match themselves eventually.

    You should definitely force yourself to straighten out your squat. Go with a lighter weight if you can't keep proper form. Tilting to one side could cause an injury.
