if your right handed is it natural for your right arm to be bigger than your left?

Question

just wondering

Answer 1

Yes

Coach

Answer 2

Yes. It's called "hypertrophy." Through use, the muscle fibers of the dominant arm grow larger than the muscles of the non-dominant arm. We're not talking alot- maybe 1/4 to 1/2 inch at the most at the upper arm and 1/8 to 1/4 inch at the forearm - depending on what type of work and activity you do (a carpenter who hammers all day will have a Popeye like right forearm and a normal size left forearm - hint: don't arm-wrestle them!)

Answer 3

Yes, in fact every thing on your right side will be slightly larger. It should not be a noticeable difference though.
If you are talking about the muscle portion of your arm, then you need to do some weight lifting on your left side to make it look more proportionate.

Answer 4

Yes. This is because people tend to favor their dominant hand. Over time the muscles on that hand/arm get more exercise.

Answer 5

Generally yes, because you have the tendency to use the dominant arm/hand more frequently than the other arm/hand. More use = more muscle development.

Answer 6

It may be bigger in terms of mucle mass because you use this arm more often. I'm left handed and have slightly stronger muscles in my left arm.

Answer 7

It depends on how physically active you are, but yes, it is not unusual for the dominant arm to be somewhat bigger.

Answer 8

yes because the muscles in this arm are used daily

Answer 9

I have heard of one arm being bigger then your other one, but not because you write with that one? Its probably genetics.

Answer 10

Yes.
