I just had like a 2 month break from workout, and I just came back.

Mind you, I have never experienced this before.
This annoying problem happened after my first sets of benchpress with dumbbells, my left side/arm seemed to go weaker than my right, the left arm could barely get it up whilst the right arm could much easier (This also happened on all the other exercises using triceps, pecs and shoulders). Towards the end of the workout my left shoulder started to hurt alot when I moved it, especially over shoulder height or at shoulder height. And today while doing biceps curls my left arm was significantly weaker than my right (I was doing 12 reps and at the last set I only got to about 6 reps with my left arm, but my right could easily keep going to 12). And i could see my left arm veins got huge and the right arm was more casual (Not as much pump yaknow?), haha, I think the veins could be because my left arm was fatigued, or maybe something causing bad blodflow into my left arm or maybe for the worst a inflammation?
Also, the whole left upper side of my body is hurting like a bitch, my right side is fine though.
Anyone know what this could be?

What should I do? Take a break? I just began working out again! :(

Imbalance. Keep working, it's a good sign.

There's always a reason for imbalance, due to laterality. Naturally, one side should be stronger whether you'd like it or not.

You're jerking off too much.

(Or what the guy above me said)

A girl asked me if I was a tennis player once. Because my right hand was bigger than my left

prob want to do a sort of test to see how big the imbalance is . as in an isolation that works what ever muscles affected with some weight that will cause failure ~8 reps and do the same for the weak arm. then maybe switch all arm work for isolation and lead strength of the weak arm ( as in if the weak can only do 5 reps with w/e weight you do 5 reps with strong) and do the test again every so often . should fix it p quickly or you can be dumb and just ignore it

This imbalance/laterality, could it happen over a cycle of 2 months? as it never was like this before I took the break.

It's a posture thing. You were imbalanced to begin with, it's not derived from your weight training.

I have an imbalance in my arms. My right forearm is slightly stronger than me left (and i use the left for you know what.) This is because of playing drums, where my right hand keeps time on whatever cymbal im hitting.

yea i have an imbalance in my arms also. my left side is stronger than my right. but no it's not wanking as i'm a righty when it comes to that.
