    pecs question

    Hey guys new to this thread but thought I would get on here for some advice. Ive been having a bit of left titty lag for a while now, I didnt notice it until I started seeing some moderate muscle gains but it seems like when I work out my chest my right pec just takes over. Ive been trying to work on the left side more now that I have noticed the problem but it doesnt seem to get better, my right pec grows and my left is left behind, I can feel the muscle underneath is bigger on the right side (noticeably). Just thought u all might have some advice. I am new to this so forgive my stupidity.

    Throw away the barbells and stick with the dumbbells. This will allow more isolation for each pec.

    For example,

    3 sets of incline DB's
    3 sets of flat DB's
    3 sets of decline DB's
    + maybe 3 sets of cable flys, etc.

    Do this for over a month or so and you'll start to see and feel the difference

    But do I do more reps on the left side than the right? Cause thats what Ive been doing and it seems like my right side is asking for more when my left can barely hang.

    you might be favoring one side during your workouts, without realizing it.

    Isn't that what you want, doing dumbbells together always working to the fail in the left side, over time it will catch up

    no do not do this. just use dumbells for a bit. this happened to my friend who broke his arm and that was the best way to even out the size

    Nope, same amount of reps for each side! You'll even out with time.
