dominant sides. In the case of the chest, it is not uncommon to have one pec bigger or shaped differently from the other. In fact, yours truly has this exact scenario, but it is for a different reason. As I demonstrate, the uneven pecs shown here are a result of muscle attachment differences. In the case of the pecs, they attach to the sternum in different areas. With the sternum itself being a rather wide bone, the pecs from the right and left sides don-t necessarily attach medially to the chest bone at the same place. On my left pec, the sternal fibers are attaching a bit more laterally than they are on the right. This causes my pecs to look unbalanced on the bottom. In this scenario, no matter what I do to try and balance out these uneven muscles, nothing will work. Since I cannot alter the attachment points of the chest muscles I will not be able to change how they look. That said, if your issue is one of the pecs not being equally full or developed, or that one pec is much bigger or stronger than the other, there is hope. You can equalize the size of your pecs by concentrating first on incorporating more dumbbell work into your training. Often times, those that rely heavily on a barbell in their training will find that they have pec or chest muscle imbalances. The barbell allows you to push more with your stronger side and still have the barbell reach its apex during a press. The weaker side gets compensated for and the imbalance persists. If you use dumbbells for your chest exercises however, you are able to isolate the weaker side and force it to have to keep up if you want to be able to press the same amount of weight. One additional suggestion when using dumbbells is to lift them one at a time. Take the free hand and touch your working pec muscles to ensure proper mind muscle connection and contraction. As you improve your ability to contract the smaller side pec, you-ll likely see how much faster you get that pec to respond in both size and strength. Finally, to bring up the smaller pec and correct the chest muscle imbalance, add some extra volume to your weekly work load. With a few additional sets per week devoted to the weaker side pec, press your way to equality by adding 12-15 sets. As long as you are maxing out your intensity with each of these sessions you should notice a rapid change in the appearance of your uneven pecs.

Is there any difference for women? Many women have one breast larger than the other and when they start to work out their chest it really becomes more noticeable. This is started to be an issue for me and I wanted to know how to solve the problem. Definitely concentrating on doing some extra reps on the smaller side is something I'm going to try. But definitely not going to be holding myself while working out in the gym because people will stare at me.

It reminds me the time I got fingerprints for clearance. The fingerprint technician correctly guessed that I was right-handed. She said that the dominant hand tends to be resistant when she's taking fingerprints. I think this explains why my right pec is smaller than my left pec; my right shoulder and triceps persistently hog all the work from my right pec. In addition to that, my left shoulder and triceps are also smaller than the right side.

My left chest or pec is uneven I want to make it even how can I did it from? Also in my home workout routine I do push-ups and I think it-s because I don-t know how to do a proper push up.
A been doing a homework out and I-ve been doing the same routine for a few years because there is no gym in my area and I don-t have any dumbbells, so what can I do to make my chest or left pec even whatever advice you can give me will be helpful.

I Have this problem too, my left pec is bigger, I've realised the problem is my right triceps. As my right triceps is bigger it lifts more of the weight when pressing, so left side is relying more in the pec while right side relies more in the triceps. This would happen even in unilateral work, so I suggest doing only transversal abduction, not pressing, to isolate the pecs from the triceps.

On the smaller chest side Your shoulder probably falls forward. Get one of those posture straps on amazon to keep your shoulders back and wear it often every day. Eventually your posture will fix itself and then the right pec will start becoming more dominant when you lift. you most likely have other muscles compensating for your bad posture.

I found my problem. I was lifiting my with my right arm and using my shoulder. So I tried doing it with my left which I am right handed by the way. My left arm was easier to lift than my right. So make sure your posture is correct. When you lift stick your chest out and arms back. Dont use your shoulder to help one arm.

I started doing this today. I did workouts that involved isolating my left and right pecs. Since my right pec is lacking I simply added an extra set or 2. Adds more time but I think if this become a regular routine hopefully it-ll catch up with my dominate pec and not have to deal with this issue again

I notice my left side (shoulder is more back, and my elbow is more -flared-) I have such a nice chest, my right looks amazing and surprisingly the left does kinda look good too, but I wanna fix this issue NOW. I-m lean bulking and starting to see a lot of definition, as well as weaknesses.

You see my left chest is lil bit chubbier and give diff shape. so i have been thinking since many months, what can i do to make it equal. -i always answered to myself nothing, it's okay it's just a lil different, relax.
This guy just gave me a confirmation by saying -uh, nothing-

reply

It's weird, cause my right bicep is bigger, which makes sense, cause it's my dominant arm, but my LEFT pec is bigger, even though I feel like I can control my right muscle better. Could my right bicep be doing the work instead of the pec? Doesn't make sense
