Holding weights for strength gains

[FONT=&quot]As of now, my right arm and shoulder have at least 20 lbs of more strength than my left arm/shoulder. I dont wanna spend too much time working it out so it can catch up. Also I cant seem to really make it any stronger which is really aggravating me. My right arm has no problem with strength gains but I have been stuck with OH pressing 135x7 or like a month now and its due to my damn left arm holding me back. It just wont get stronger in terms of weightlifting.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]I was wondering if I were to simply hold extremely heavy loads at the starting position of big upper body exercises such as OH presses and bench presses for long periods of time that I would see gains? Such as I could hold a 100 lb db overhead with my left arm or hold a 135 lb barbell with my left hand in the starting position of a bench press for an extended period of time. I am desperate to gain strength in my left arm because it is pathetic compared to my right and is becoming an obstacle. [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]yes.. I know it is rare for both arms to be exactly similar in terms of mass and power but this isnt even close.[/FONT]
 
I think you just need to keep working it withal the exercises you can think of. Are you sure your technique is the same with both arms.
