one ab bigger then the other

I am in fairly good shape, but when I first started working out (10 years ago) my body was deformed.

i had one side of my chest bigger then the other. As I kept working out, it evened out.

I never worked on abs, but I notice that my left top ab by my chest, is bigger then the other one on the right.

anyway to fix this?

Nah, it isn’t necessarily genetics, if that side of ur abdomen is more active than the other, it will be bigger. Hockey players who only take shots from one side have very uneven abs. I would recommend doing an ab workout for a while that focuses on the weaker side. IE, do cross crunches to the weaker side etc etc. Should help you balance out!

It's definitely genetics. The rectus abdominus is one muscle. The left and right sides are not separate entities as is the case with your pectoralis major.



The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...
