Weak side

[FUBU]

For over 2 years I have noticed that my left side muscles are bigger than my right side muscles. I don't favor my left side and I train each side equally the same. I know that this is a common problem, but I also know that there are people who have perfect symmetry. Is there anyway to fix this problem or do I just have to accept that it's genetics?

Im the same except opposite sides. Wouldnt bother trying to fix it by training one side less etc just get bigger on both sides. Rather have 20" and 21" arms than 20" and 20"

also someone on here explained it while back, that often its more difference in insertions left to right rather than actual muscle size difference, causing a different measurement because the peak is in a different spot/etc

 

just something to consider

 

my left has always been .5" smaller than right, even when iv put 3-4inches on them over time the left always a bit smaller but consistently .5" smaller

You could try including more stuff with dumbbells rather than barbells, and iso-lateral machines where the arms are independent of other. That means the dominant side can't assist the weaker side.

 

But yes... it could be just your genetics.

More likely due to an injury and/or consistent uneven lifting. Can still lift unevenly with db e.g db bench one side tracking wider and other being more vertical

Fubu, you have awesome low lat insertions by the looks. Just get them bigger brO.
