Question:
Unequal Chest Muscles
hi, i am 18 years old and started to work like 4 months ago. i can easily say that i m not fat. the only thing that i dont like about my body is that my chest muscles (i mean left and right) are not equal. right muscles are way too bigger than left muscles. i know that no one has %100 equal chest muscles but i mean the differance with me is disturbing. i even considered to work only left muscles for a while. can that be a solution? what do you think about my problem. i m waiting for your advices. thanks...
i had the same problem and i finally made it even after quite a while.
when i started going gym, my left arm was much weaker than my right, so my left peck ended up being larger then my right after about 1.5 years as it was doing more work. I eventually figured out that this was because my form was not correct ( somehow my movement during the bench press was always tilted to the left side). That will be one of your problems also. You should first get someone to video you with a camera while benchpressing to see if your form is perfectly straight, because if it isn't and it became a habbit, you will soon develop uneven shoulders too. I have seen this so many times at the gym.
another solution is to start using dumbells for a while for benchpress instead of a barbell. this will even our your chest after some time.
Most likely(99.9%) it's genetics, sorry bro you won't be able to fix it.
Unless that .1% you have a bad form when you do bench press and put more weight on your right chest than equally on both
and i wouldnt suggest doing what the guy above me said. do not put more weight on one side to even it out. just make sure you read about having a good form when doing a benchpress or ask someone who knows at the gym. your form is not right and thats from personal experience.
also use dumbells.
I would just sya to DB bench press's and switch up the weight maybe for each side. One more than the other, just my opinion/.
