Arm exercises: when to alternate arms?
I need to do three arm exercises A, B, and C. For each exercise, I perform 2 series of 10 repetitions. I can only work with one arm at a time. Which of the following sequence is preferable to maximize muscle gain and minimize the risk of injury?
Do all exercises A, B, and C with left arm. Then, do all exercises A, B, and C with the right arm.
Alternate arm between each exercise, i.e.: Do the two series of exercise A with the left arm. Then, do two series of exercise A with the right arm. Do the same for exercises B and C.
Alternate arm between each series, i.e.: Do the first series of exercise A with the left arm. Then, do the first series of exercise A with the right arm. Then, do the second series of exercise A with the left arm. Then, do second first series of exercise A with the right arm. Do the same for exercises B and C.

Do the first set on your weaker arm and then do the exact same number of repetitions on your stronger arm.
Your weak arm should fail first and this method means you don't end up over developing the stronger arm
Changing between reps or sets is best as it will help you achieve the aforementioned.
