bench press/one arm weakness

[ctobin]

When I do bench press and front press(with dumbbells) my left arm fails much, much sooner than my right arm. I did not notice this until I recently increased the weight. For example, doing drop sets (12, 10, 8) followed by a set to failure , my left arm started failing on the last drop set. During the set to failure, I did 30 with my right arm and 4 with my left arm.
I have no problem doing pushups.
Should I train with different weights in each hand?
Does anyone think something is wrong with me?

no there is nothing wrong with you, it is normal to have one side slightly weaker than the other, for me it is my right. Don't train with different weights, that will make the imbalance worse. You will also make it worse if you continue to train your right after the left has failed.

Which part of the lift is your failure point ? what other exercises are you doing ? what is your form like ? you may have increased weight to fast. It is a little hard to tell where the problem is without more information.

Someone once told me that to have equal strength you have to train both sides the same. If your left can only do four, only do four with your right.

I wish I could remember who said it.

I get that sometimes, what I've been doing is training to fail with the same weight, then just doing the drop sets on my weak arm to try to make it stronger, don't know if thats the right thing to do.
