I write, shoot ect… with my left hand, but any task which requires a whole lot of strength like opening a jar I use my right hand for. Its kind of odd, since it seems to me that my dominate hand should be the stronger one.

Seems strange but yeah, my left hand seems to have a slightly higher resistance to pain and fatigue than my rand hand even though I'm right handed. Often I'll be able to bust out an extra rep with my left arm as opposed to my right.Sea Skimmer wrote:I write, shoot ect… with my left hand, but any task which requires a whole lot of strength like opening a jar I use my right hand for.

That's because your right (or dominant) arm is generally more fatigued from usage then your left. Try picking up and loading weights with both hands. Alternating between them. That will help even your strength out.ArmorPierce wrote:Seems strange but yeah, my left hand seems to have a slightly higher resistance to pain and fatigue than my rand hand even though I'm right handed.

I'm seriously right handed for everything except martial arts and masturbation. I can't write left handed, play hockey left handed, hit a ball left handed, and can barely kick a ball left footed. But for whatever weird reason I'm almost equally good with both sides in either regular or southpaw stance when doing martial arts. Other than the spinning back kick which I suck at doing from a southpaw stance, everything else is pretty much equal.weemadando wrote:Right handed for everything except the jab.

Lusankya: Deal!
Say, do you want it to be a threesome with your wife? Or a foursome with your wife and sister-in-law? I'm up for either.

That's an excellent idea. I'm going to have to do that and let you know how it works out.havokeff wrote:That's because your right (or dominant) arm is generally more fatigued from usage then your left.

It's just a matter of practice, my left is strong and accurate enough, I just need to spend more time on my footwork and learning not to telegraph when in that stance.aerius wrote:I'm seriously right handed for everything except martial arts and masturbation.

I was born left handed, but then I had a brain tumor and they tell me I switched to being right handed. And since Friday it seems I've been using my right hand exclusively.

primarily right, some left, some both.
For some reason I am completely incapable of brushing my teeth with my left hand (No joke I managed to the brush up my nose somehow) Writing with my left hand is almost illegible. I can only throw right handed.
I can use silverware and chopsticks with both hands. I can bat either way. I can use the mouse with either hand. I can use a hammer and most other tools with either hand.(some people cant for some reason)
I type better with my left hand. I kick better with my left foot.

I do everything on the right side of my body. Write/draw with the right hand, aim with the right eye, kick with my right foot. I'm very "left brain" oriented, apparently, despite also being quite creative.

Right handed and due to some motor control "problems" I have it's not likely that will change (writing long texts by hand is actually physically painfull for me)
