    Uneven muscle developed and uneven shoulders

    My muscle developed differently, my entire right side is a bit smaller then the left (with the exception of underarms, and calves).

    My right side has more vains, then left.
    I've had problems with my biceps and shoulder on the right side (overuse?)

    So now I wonder, what causes this? It also seem that I am a little stiffer in the leftsidedmuscles..

    So what do you guys make of this?
    And who should I see to correct this or make it better atlest? I am thinking a chiropractor? Because it may be bone and/or muscle related.

    just curioius, what hand do you wack with?
    jk

    you don't need to see anyone about it, no reason to see a chiro
    it's just all lifting techinque related. You must favor one side in many of your lifts having been injured. It's common and you might not know you're doing it. I favor my right in bench because of shoulder problems. But I had no idea until someone pointed it out to me.

    As for your calves, do you ever run on un-even surfaces? Keep in mind, a road is not flat by nature, it's higher in the middle and slopes to the sides so water can run off.

    before i injured my shoulder my traps were about the same size, but after injury i couldn't flex evenly, basically my right traps looked smaller, but now that the pain is gone they are back even. however i did post a thread about uneven muscle size, my right looked more defined and bigger, then someone suggested that i measure it rather than just do a visual, and believe it or not they were the same size, i just had more fat on my left and it covered the muscle definition. my left side is still weaker than my right because I am right handed, i been using more DB’s than bars just so both sides get an even amount of work.

    Actually the injury started while benching. The right hand was taking more load then the left hand, and that led to me injuring my left.

    Then the injury seemed to develop further to the biceps..

    So now I have a shoulder issue, and a biceps issue on the same hand.

    One thing that I really think that can be the issue, is that I skied when I was 14, and jumped on the big jump and landed on my shoulder leading to a semi-fracture of the collarbone.

    The idiot doctors never called me back to check on how the bone had grown, So I still don't know if that's the thing causing problems or what..

    Actually I have to concentrate way more when I try tot flex my injured side (especially traps).

    And my injured side has more muscle developed (in measuring, aswell as in apperance).

    I am going to see a chiro and see what he can do about it, I want to take x-ray to check the collarbone thing aswell. Time to get to the bottom of this. Really tierd of making good gains and just ending up taking time off and loosing all. Shit makes me sick

    you just described my injury and symptoms. chiro will do some good but what helped me the most is doing some excursuses twice a day. check this thread, its got useful info. and do the towel exercises, it really works.
