Unbalanced abdominals

peterrichmond Posts: 1 Joined: 2006/04/13	2006/04/14, 03:59 AM I am about to start a workout program on free trainers.I have done minimal working out before (some press ups and crunches) However when i tense up, my right ab muscles and larger and more defined than the left side. If i do normal crunches will this improve this or make it worse. What should i do? Also the right pectorial is slightly more in shape than the left, will normal pressups fix this or make it worse.:(

Doing heavy chest work in a balanced manner can actually make the weaker side predominately stronger as it will overcompensate for it being weaker and may actually become stronger. -------------- Strength and Honor!
