Tricep issue

mynameishere1727

Hello everyone. I have started going to the gym since September of 2023. Everything is going relatively fine, except my tricep exercises.

I cannot even do tricep extensions with 3-5kg with my right arm, while I do these with extreme ease with my left arm.

I have no pain in my right tricep, it just feels weak. It feels dead, not there.

I have noticed this difference in other exercises like incline bench press, my right arm always is at a different pace.

Is this an injury? Is this normal?

TL;DR
The tricep in my right arm is extremely weak, can't even do 3kg tricep extensions. No pain. Feels as if the tricep is dead.

This may be due to a nerve pinch in your neck. It's definitely worth reporting to your doctor, who may or may not offer any further treatment.

I just went through something vaguely similar with numbness in my foot and the only health professional that offered any help or even a diagnosis was a physical therapist.

Not normal. See your doctor. Depending on what s/he says, probably ask for a physical therapy referral.
