Hmm, been about 4 months since I started the new routine...And I am still uneven..My left pec is still getting more defined than my right and my right doesn't seem to have improved any while my left seems to keep improving. My rightside of my stomach has a bit more fat and my left oblique is more firm than my right. Left lat is a little bigger than right!...But my right Tricep is still bigger than my left but my left is getting a bit more defined.... I am right handed too. Any Idea's of what could be causing my body to be uneven and anyways to fix it? I've been trying to do more things on my right for chest. It's just annoying to see that my left pec shows more in a shirt and it looks like I have a disappeared right. it's hard to explain but my right has like nothing under the "nipple" and the middleish part of it is less rounded. I'll try to get a pic up to show sometime but if I do it will be from a cell phone/mirror pic.

Part of it may be down to genetics. People do have more dominant sides, so one Arm for example looks better than the other.

I would say if you are doing exercises, that utilise both Arms on one piece of equipment, I.E. Bench Pressing, Bent over Barbell Rows etc etc, switch to similar alternatives, like Dumbbell Bench Press, Dumbbell Rows etc etc, so both Arms work independantly, then you shouldn't get any problems, with one muscle group becoming reliant on the other, and getting lazy.

Bench Press could be a good one for that. If you've ever done Olympic Bar Benching for example, you might occasionally notice the Bar goes up, and tips a little one way mid rep.

That could be one Arm, (almost certainly the weaker), not exploding like the stronger one, then the weaker Arm, may not do it's fair share, and then you get possible over-stimulation of one side of the Chest, if the stronger one does most of the work assisting the Bar, to peak range of motion, and the weaker one eventually catches up.

So this could be your problem, you're doing Barbell work, and one muscle group becomes too reliant on the other one, and works less.

Bear in mid though genetics. You're almost unlikely to get a perfect symetrical look, particualrly if one side of you body has been really dominating, during childhood development.

I am right handed and kick with my left..So, My body is pretty weird I guess. I've been doing 1 handed butterflies and 1 handed dumbell presses to try to even out my chest..But I try to do about 2 sets with left and all sets with right. And my dad used to be into body building he was big ans symmetrical. I heard sometimes if one side does most of the work the otherside sometimes see's the result. Is that true?

[Guts]

I'll try to explain how my chest is uneven my left seems like it has more lift under the nipple like more of a (_ type look and my right seems like the the nipple just goes right down into the abs like there is no tuck under it also the middleish part of my right isn't as big like my left one more like 3d as in my right it's only certain part above nipple that hast he muscule..Not sure if that explain..Just curious on any way to help even it out would doing dumbell press with heavier dumbell in right work? I am right handed so I am sort of at a loss for this.

hows your posture?? go to reference section and read "neanderthal" series...also if parts of your body won't grow than you may have pathology issues (nerves etc) which come from posture issues and muscle imbalances

[Guts]

thanks..My pasture isn't that great i kind of slouch that might be it. I read that site it looks good and I do some of those exercises now...But I know some exercises it shows I won't be able to do...Would that be alright if I do majority of it but not all?

[swanso5]

post what you can't do and i'll give you replacements

[Guts]

side step with ankle bands

Rack Pull with Scapular Retraction can sort of do but would need replacements other than a rack since can only do home things.

bar roll out might be able to do on floor. but not positive 'cause I have a small place with a olympic size bar and a bar that needs the screw type motion but weights to big (belongs to olymypic zie bar)

High Bar Low Box Squat

Reverse Hyper

Double D-Handle Seated Row

One and One-Fourth Inverted Row

Band Retraction

Also the site said something about it being a 3 week thing..Should I keep it as my routine orjsut do it for the 3 weeks?

[swanso5]

side step with ankle bands - bird dog and supine bridge 1 after the other

Rack Pull with Scapular Retraction can sort of do but would need replacements other than a rack since can only do home things - cans imply do deads form the floor with the same action, rack pulls just allow more wt but regular deads should be fine or if you can set up 2 tables or something and do them knee or mid thigh ht...doesn't have to perfect

bar roll out might be able to do on floor. but not positive 'cause I have a small place with a olympic size bar and a bar that needs the screw type motion but weights to big (belongs to olymypic zie bar) - since then they would change this to a Prone Ab Brace so do that instead

High Bar Low Box Squat - all you need is a chair, table or something to sit back on, should be able to do it if you have a bar which you do

Reverse Hyper - again all you need is a tabe

Double D-Handle Seated Row - bent rows will be fine but make sure your getting elbows back as far as you can so you'll need a wide grip

One and One-Fourth Inverted Row - can do 1 1/4 bent rows if needed

Band Retraction = bands will cost you $20, go get some...you'll also be able to do the side steps...resistance tubes will do

[art 1 is 4 weeks i think and part 2 is 3 weeks for memeory...did you read part 1 of the program??

[Guts]

Just read the part you posted on the site.

[swanso5]

it's a 5 (i think) part article series...you should really read all of it to get the gist of what your actually doing and why

[Guts]

Wow that's just insane..Reading the first part made me see all the problems I have..Thanks agian swanso always coming through!

[swanso5]

if there was one thing in the WORLD i'd have people it's clearly that article series

[Guts]

I read it all and the exercises before the one I read in part 4....I can't do the any of the cable exercises 'cause I do the stuff at home not in a gym.

[swanso5]

list what you can't and i'll substitute again
