yea, how are you measuring this difference? what exercises are you chosing and why do you feel that those exercises are good indications of opposite movement strength?
what is your posture like?
Well, there is a combination of many factors that make me believe this. I know they aren't accurate, but I'll say it is within 20lbs. The 1RM chart puts me at pressing 375. I can barely row 185 5 times without cheating. Thats a horrible ratio. I work just has hard on my pulling power as pressing power, but my bench just keeps climbing while my pulling movements lag behind. The only exception is deadlifts and shrugs which are stronger than my pushing movements.
Every time I start getting high up there on bench pressing, my shoulder goes out, just like it did this week. This leads me to believe there is a muscular imbalance that is destroying my shoulder.
Also, I have a posture problem that I can't seem to lick. I am doing all I can to fix it, but I think much of it is simply genetic. My brother, father, and myself have identical skeletal structures. My ribcage is massive. Even when I didn't touch weights for years, my chest was huge and my torso was thick. My neck slumps forward and my shoulders hang forward. If I stand up straight, I can't look down. Hell, I can barely look straight ahead.
I have some friends who told me yoga might help. I don't have the time for yoga now, but I want to start in the fall of this year.
Now that my shoulder is blown out again, I plan to do an upper lower split where all pressing movements are excluded from my program until my shoulder heals.
I don't know what to do. There is something wrong here, and I can't get it out of my mind.
