are you holding the both arms at an even spot? Im not sure, its probably because your other arm is stronger

Andy - Are you right handed? My first guess is that one arm you have that mind to muscle link going on where you can really feel it. And the other arm you don't. If you just started this, give it time. Really feel the muscles working. Over time, you'll get that mind to muscle link where you can really start to feel how your muscles are working and you'll feel that contraction. At the moment, you probably don't have that connection, so the left arm just feels like you are going thru the motions.

That's pretty much how it feels with a dominant side. Just keep working the left side just as hard. You are on the right track.
