Asymetric muscle growth
Don't know if I'm just weird or doing something completely wrong. I prefer dumbbells to a bar when working out. This may have led to my condition. My left pect and right forearm/bicep are noticeably larger than their counterpart. What's my problem? I'll provide any other info needed.

This is why strict form is so important. If your form is off or you are weak in a certain muscle, other body parts will compensate.
IMO you should reduce the weight and re-learn/practice strict form.
Use weight that your weak side can lift comfortably and when that side/muscle tires out, stop the set even though your other side can do more, do not continue.
Over time this will bring back your symmetry.

Time to deload and work on form. I personally like to alternate between barbell work and dumbbell work as well. I'm a barbell man though.

Most people have a dominant side/hand, and your motorneurons are going to fire much more efficiently to your dominant side, more muscle fibers, more firing power, etc. etc. If you are doing things outside weights like boxing, throwing, labor that might contribute to the asymmetry as well. The best thing to do to balance out is the stop when your less dominant side gets tired as mentioned above, give the body a chance to get closer to symmetrical

You're probably the only one who notices it. Post up some pics.
