I'm working Stage 3 now, which has multiple exercises where the arms are working separately, sometimes doing something completely different at a given time. I find that for a certain dumbbell weight, sometimes my left arm will be about at failure while my right arm might be feeling about ready to increase.

I have been using the same weight for both arms, hoping that the left arm will catch up. Is this the best approach? Or should I pick weights that are at the right challenge level for that arm?
