Right side bigger than left side?

bandit390 Posts: 18 Joined: 2004/03/02	2004/04/10, 08:01 PM When I look in the mirror I see more tone and a better looking right side. Its not that major, but enough that I can see and feel a difference in the muscle there. Im talking about whats around my chest. ( biceps/especially pecks/biceps) I do the same wieght in both arms when lifting wieghts. Am I doing something wrong? Anyone ever notice this before? What can I do? Thanks Jon

Now by doing this my left arm is slowly catching up to my right. Mind muscle connection........if you think abotu it, it will grow, working out is just as much mental as physical. -------------- .......adversity causes some to break, but others to break records! ......minds are not vessles to be filled, but fires to be enlightened ......Confucious once said ,DO NOT play leap frog with a unicorn

I like that idea of pre-fatigue to make my right arm not help out as much, I have tried to use dumbells as much as posible, I duno if it helped, but it might have, I know my strength is prity even now, just a size differance. -------------- Sean "TBAR" Johnson -USAF-
