When doing the standing bicep curls i use same weight bumbells for each hand and do 8 reps for each hand. i dont lift both hands together, instead i alternate.

the problem is that when i reach about the 6th rep my left hand really can't lift the weight but my right hand finds it very easy.
Basically, my left hand is weaker.

What can i do to stop this problem?

Start the reps count w/ your weaker arm then match that number w/ your stronger arm. So if you get to 6 or 7 reps, that's all you do w/ your stronger arm too. Eventually you will do the same reps w/ both.



Same for leg exercises

Be a real man and do heavy compound lifts instead of wastin' your time on useless isolation exercises like bicep curls. Get on a program that has you doin' heavy deadlifts, squats, bent over rows, bench press, standin' overhead press/push press, and pull ups.



After you do all those, if you don't feel like your biceps got enough attention, do some chin-ups. I guarantee if you do that, you'll look at feel better a lot quicker than if you just work your biceps, especially if you get yourself on a good diet and stay on it.

Do a few more reps with the left arm each day until it is equivalent to the right. Its all about symmetry.
