    left side larger than right

    I have a problem with my left side growing quicker than my right. Its driving me nuts, Im really noticing it in my triceps and chest. I now switched to dumbells instead of a bar on most excersizes. Im lifting the same weight as the other side but just not seeing the same results. Just wondering if anyone has any tips on how to correct this.

    I thought that barbell was part of the problem, cause the one side was doing more work than the other ???

    i dont really know the solution to the problem but i would figure that it wouldnt help going dumbells, since barbell is a compound movement (bench), i would think because it is simple a push motion that the lacking side will catch up eventually... but im not sure

    barbell will only continue to make the larger side larger. as it will be doing the bulk of the work. dumbbell is definately the way to go.

    ok well what kind of work do you do ? do you use your right hand / arm more often than your left at work ? i had the same problem last year , i was labouring for a construction company and i am right handed , i was favouring my right hand and therefore using it a lot more , therefore the muscles were always working and burning out and my left side was growing bigger naturally ...do you find that you favour your right hand aswell at work ?
