    Uneven Pectoral Muscles

    I have not excercised for a while but I was planning to start my workout program again when I notice that my left pectoral muscle is larger than my right. I wanted to know how I could even them out and if doing pushups or benchpress would just add to the porblem(i.e.: Both pecs enlarge but they are still out of proportion.) I really dont want worsen the situation.

    Thanks.

    The shoulder muscle, it's more common to have uneven shoulders which leads to uneven pecs den uneven pecs in the first place

    If it's a difference in the size of muscle you could do a couple of extra sets with one arm using a pec dec.

    if you are like me your delts and tris will be the same size but your chest is diff. I use db's in my workout and have seen little change, it isn't uncommon for a person to have uneven body parts. good luck.

    they will never be 100% even. no one has perfect symmetry. yes, you can try to even them out the best you can but they will never be equal.

    Use the DB like Sub-Z said, I wouldn't worry to much about it though, as you start lifting more often, they'll probably just even out by themselves.

    If you look at the muscle mags, you'll see even the pro's can be a little un even its not that uncommon.
    Cool

    What are DB's? Sorry I have been out of the weightroom for a good while. I didn't lift my Senior year. I was on the swim team and we didnt left.

    Use DB for all your chest work, they'll have to even out cause one side won't be lifting for the other.

    Yup, my left chest was WAY bigger den my right. But since using more dumbells and doing more work on the right side the difference is becoming smaller n smaller

    When I first stared working out I tried to even up my left and right arms, shoulders, & pecs. I would do a couple of extra sets for the weaker side.
    Examples: for chest one arm pec dec (it's kind of hard to balance using dumbbells), one arm dumbbell curls, single arm push-downs, one arm laterals, etc.
