Hey there guys
My one chest is bigger than my other one. I am right handed but my left pec is bigger and stronger than my right one. What can i do to correct this as it is visable and bringing me down.

This is normal. How long have you been training? These things even themselves out the longer you train.

Try using dumbells in future bud

Sorry guys Apparently it is true, cause its happened to certain people already, so I’m not taking any chances !!

extra small, the problem I find with some guys is their bench is very off balanced, I had a friend who could press some heavy poundage but he was dropping the bar scew.. *shrugs* get someone to watch you train (an experienced trainer) and see what you doing wrong..

I have the same problem as you extra small , to correct my problem I concentrate more on my right pec when doing chest exercises.

Pumped you do single handed presses? or do you use a heavier weight in 1 hand than the other?

I have a mate who pulls the bvar skew as the weight starts to get heavy. What i do is spot him and hold the bar in the correct position. He cant bench as much but it corrects his form... Get an experienced guy in your gym to spot you and watch your form, he can then tell you if you're going wrong.

This is one possibility, there are a few others... I had a patient and friend with similar problem and his came down to spinal torsion throwing his entire thorax into an imbalance.

Um, but im scared of needles...

No and no. I am finding that my right pec is catching up to my left pec. When I do dumbell press or bench press or inline press the bar is always horizontal. I keep my form.

careful benching in front of a mirror, lifting the neck during the movement is just asking for an injury

You shouldn't really use the mirror for any exercise. Use a gym buddy to spot technique problems.

Using the mirror takes away a lot of the mind muscle connection and the feel of an exercise, focus on the feel and use that as your guide rather than imagery.
