Difference in muscle strength in each arm

So I just got back into the gym after nearly 3 years of absence.
I noticed yesterday that I can do dumbbell curls easier with my left arm, but then today on incline bench I was leading with my right arm while my left arm's elbow was still a little bent and trying to catch up.
Does this mean there's an imbalance between my biceps and chest muscles on each side? Or is there an easy way I can correct this. I try going slow, but it still happens slightly. Maybe I'm just weaker in different areas
.
Also, this isn't related but I'm trying to get some whey protein ordered and bodybuilding.com is selling it for $34 and change with a buy 2 get 1 free deal. I call up complete nutrition to see their price and guy tells me he's got the best deal around and matches wholesale prices.. $43. I was nice and declined, but why the difference?

I have the same issues. I just try to incorporate some single arm movements into my routine.

It can have a lot to do with joint strength also.
I know personally my left bicep and brach arm a tiny tiny bit smaller than on my right arm (im right handed) although my left arm is stronger and has less fatigue.

I started working out after a long break.
I was immensely stronger in my left arm. I figured out it was the arm I carried my son in.

my left arm is definitely stronger than my right (right hand dominate). I just chalk it up to having semi-retard strength

Are you right handed?
It believe it is natural for your non-dominant hand/side to be stronger. We tend to use our non-dominant side for activities which require gross motor skills, leaving our dominant side free to handle activities which require fine motor skills.
For instance, if you're carrying something, you would tend to carry it in your non-dominant hand while leaving your dominant hand to open doors/operate other things that require fine motor skills.
The difference will diminish as you lift.
