Let's start with exercises!

- Arnold Press [NEW]:
Targets delts, back, shoulders, core. Can be done with dumbbells, kettlebells, or any separate weights. Engage core by keeping pelvis tucked in. Remember to hold at top position for a few seconds. 3 sets of 10 reps each.
If you're having trouble with a weak arm like I am, use separate weights for the exercises. It helps each arm carry their weight, allowing the weaker arm not to rely on the stronger arm to compensate.
I wasn't using separate weights at the gym I go to since I mainly use the beginner machines and I realized I was using my strong arm to take on more weight to help my weak arm perform. Once I realized my mistake, I had to adjust my routine to take that into consideration and found some machines that allow me to work on my arms individually by having separate weights for each arm. I hope to use those until my weak arm catches up with my strong arm.
