Thanks for thinking of me, bro but I think your responding to Kane.
Speaking of which, you say you can't add weight because you weak arms fails. I have a couple of questions. Are you seeing progression with the weak arm as you've been working it with the dumbell? And also, if you can't add weight have you tried adding reps and or sets.
The way I would handle an uneven bench that I couldn't add weight too is I'd pick a weight I could do around 3 sets of 5 to 6 with. Meaning I could do that much and keep the bar parallel for all the sets and reps (leaving one in the tank). Then next workout I'd try to add reps to each of those sets. I would keep adding weight until I could knock out 3 sets of 8 to 10. Then I'd try to add a set to that. Once I could do 4 sets of 8 to 10 I have a feeling the strength imbalance would be gone and I could reduce the reps and add weight.
If you use dumbells you still want to do both arms. Just do the amount you weak arm can do for both arms. Never just work out one side of your body.
