One sided chest exercises

[T3/T4 GSR]

One of my pecs is clearly smaller than the other and I wanna use my next cycle to try my best to even them out. What can I do to train one side more than the other? The strength seems the same but the size is different.

1. I would focus on dumbell and cable exercises that employ your left and right chest muscles individually..furthermore, you should use a weight that allows you to focus on your lagging side and really feel the contraction...
2. If you are doing machine exercise that use the same weight source (like pec dec or chest presses), during your reps, you can lessen the resistance force on your "bigger" side so the lagging side works more....(but only in the last set, IMO) but only by a tiny fraction, AND feel your lagging side contract in each rep
3. perhaps, if you feel both sides are equally strong, its the underlying bone structure that is the problem and not the actual muscle size...i slightly have that problem but it doesnt look that bad...its more common than you think...

i had the same problem afew years ago. so i started training chest twice per week. once in full, then once at the end of the week, only about 6-8 sets but just using one side of the body. i was doing one-armed DB presses, flyes and pec deck, sorted my problem for sure

i would suggest dumbells as this puts the same stress on both arms/pecs in terms of weight but the weak arm has to work harder and therefore grows/catches up with the strong arm/chest whatever.

make sure to not only work one pec work both, just ligthen the weigh so the weak side catches upwith the strong side, also dbells are probably a better choice than straight bar work, also hammer strenght machines would be a good asset as well

Well the thing is the strength is pretty much the same. Just the actual size.
