Try using a heavier one on the smaller pec!

I would you the same weight db's and perform extra repetitions on the smaller pec side. This is the method that I prefer because when you do a unilateral exercise you can focus all of your energy (nervous system) onto that smaller pec.

If you've been using correct form then the imbalance that you have is most likely genetic IMO, but you can probably correct it

Do you use a spotter? Have a spotter help you squeeze out a few more reps on the weaker side. will work

Yes it's genetics. I'm the same way. My right is smaller. The reason is the shape of my sternum. My son is the same way. I think I will try strikers approach.

guys, those reps won't necessarily help.
Maybe it its ur genetics, but always watch your form. get a spotter that doesn't just spots you and pushes you but get one thatll watch you too.
I see it all the time where guys are doing dumbbell s and its obvious that there chest isn't equaling out cus they tend to push there left side of ther body deep into the bench, and just a bunch of other crazy habits. Just watch the form, make sure your grip is equal, and then your chest should equal out. I've spent 1 year testing how to even out my chest and doing heavier weights on one side or more reps only screws you up even more ie your laggin side's shoulder or tricep will get bigger cus your lagging chest isn't necessarily being worked out.
I hope this sin't too confusing and hope it helps

dont worry about it
nobody is symetrical, examine some pictures in BB mags and you will notice that everyone has a bigger side, but when you look at them your mind builds an overall picture, thus everyone else looks symetrical to you. I bet no-one else even notices your smaller pec, post a pic and we will see if we can notice it.
