That my left bicep should be different in shape and size to my right even though both receive the same exercise? Is it usual for muscles to develop unevenly for a while and do they sort themselves out?

Cheers-

are u left handed?? i had the same thing after i was at the gym, my left bicep and tricep were much more built. after a few months they pretty much evened out tho,

No body is perfectly symmetrical. Even Arnolds left bicep was a different shape to his right.

Everyone will be different, nothing to worry about

But they'll never be exactly the same size and shape.

Sometimes an inherent muscle imbalance from prior to training can lead to one side over compensating for the other in bar excercises where it is possible to do so.

It will gradually balance out, but a useful step is to use more dumb bell excercises than bar bell as one side cannot compesate whatsoever for the other.

No right handed. My left bicep is longer than my right one. It could be just weaker as the same amount of exercise hurts more with the left than the right.

As for Arnie, I thought that he won Mr. Universe six times for having a perfectly symmetrical body? He was smaller than some dudes but built better and I thought thats what swung it for him.

In short no.

He won Mr. Universe 7 times and I think you're probably thinking of the bigger Mr. Olympia contest which he also won 7 times.

Nobody has perfect symmetry this is a fact. Bodybuilding competitions are also not judged on symmetry alone.

Other criteria include muscularity and posing routines.

Arnold won because he was best overall. (Interesting fact he trained with a ballet dancer to develop his posing routine further.)

Continueing on

How come the vein on my left arm travels up my bicep a differant path than the vein on my right arm.

Very weird looking....
