Right side bigger than the left...What to do???

Flex · 05-01-2004, 02:45 PM

Im not sure if its just me b/c my right side is a tad stronger, but i think my right side is a tad bigger than my left. and i'm talking ALL of my right....including my right forearm, biceps, triceps, shoulder, chest and quad.

again, it may just be psychological, but i think i can see a tad more defintion/development on my right side.

is there anything i can do besides the obvious think of using dumbells to even it out??

I have the same perception problem, except I think my left side is bigger because I use my right more often and it is leaner. I don't think you should worry unless you take measurments and the right bi is 20" and the left is 17".

It happens to everyone. My left bicep is definitely a lot bigger than my right. Not only that, but it has a slightly different shape. My right bicep is more defined, but my left bicep has more of a peak and overall mass. It's just a part of life. =\

no one is perfectly symmetrical.

my left side is bigger, all of the muscles on my left side have slightly longer muscle bellies and measure 1/4" - 1/2" larger.

the only one that will notice this is you, stop focusing on it!

Most guys I belive are larger in the left chest due to the position of the heart in the cavity and possibly due to better circulation (speculating on this).

yea, every1s bigger/stronger on 1 side! ur all freaks!!!! u no what?! this is just a huge pile of horse shit!!!! no even worse!

i was right handed be4 my accidents, i had to learn how to use my left hand!i had to write for sschool to finish my senior yr!

and THEN during my goal assessments w my trainers, they were like yea yea everybody has a side thats weaker naturally

id try to explain to them, that right after my 1st accident...i felt like i had a stroke or something! the hand was dead weight! and i had to learn to write w it!!!!

i use to dread chest workouts w my 1st trainer bc when i had to do flat db press my right side would be soo hard to get my right arm up and straighten my elbow!

Life is rough but we get what we get, even if its the result of an accident. Best thing to do is move forward with the tools that you have.

	In my opinion, it looks like you want your outside to look the way you feel deep inside. You know how hard you've worked to get where you are, and the physical expression of the internal strength is why you like the idea of muscle -Kane
