squats... one leg feels more worked out

[mekler]

like the title says... after i squat my right quad "feels" more worked out than my left quad. however, my left quad is .5" bigger than my right. i'm not leaning to one side when i squat, my footing looks good (workout partner has been watching me)... what do you guys think?

I have a similar problem, however I believe because my right leg or perhaps it is my ankle is out of alignment and therefore I feel it more in my left then my right... Don't notice a size difference, just left leg is usually a lot sorer after leg day...

you must be left handed.

I bet your left quad looks more developed than your right even though your right is bigger.

its really not a big deal, start doing unilateral leg exercises like one leg squats, walking lunges and leg exts one leg at a time.

actually i'm right handed... and it's my left quad that's bigger. =) thanks for the replies... anyone else have an idea?

It could be your not getting complete nerve impulses to your right leg. You might go to a chiropractor and get an adjustment and see if it helps. If this is the case your left leg is probably over compensating.

i have like the same prob...but just it's when i work my forearms

or... it could be because being a righty and favoring your right leg your possibly over training or not giving your right leg the same rest your left leg gets during your off days... hehe
