I have a few qusetions about working out and weight training and (yall probably could but) I don't feel like anyone here could answer them. But do anyone know of any websites I could get help from? I've already found MuscleTalk and Teenbodybuilding but do anyone about any others?

Sorry, I don't know of any body building sites off the top of my head. But really, try asking your question. I work out pretty intensely, as do many of our members. many of us are quite athletic. If we don't know, we'll admit our ignorance

My main question was is it normal for 1 side of your body to be stronger, or even larger then the other? Because when I (dumbell) curl I can do more reps on my left arm then my right (like 1 or 2 more) & from push-ups, I notice my left side is a little bigger then the other (I do plan on going to the gym, getting some help but I can't right now.)

Yup. I'd say it's completely normal for one side to be stronger, and/or larger. The body is rarely a perfectly symmetrical thing.
I do a martial art, and I find that my right side is quite a bit stronger than my left. I'm right handed, so it's my dominant side. My punches are stronger on the right... things like that.

Ok, I just didn't see it like that anywhere on TV or online so it had me thinking, thanks!

Yep. I'm lop-sided, too. My left leg is much stronger, but I have better balance on the right. My right arm is stronger, too. My trainer has me train a little more on certain sides (depending on the exercise) to compensate.
