I have the same problem, my pecs are just connected differently, so they grow at different rates....you just have to really focus your mind/muscle connection on your right side and feel it stretch and contract with every movement so that it grows as quickly as your left....this really helped even me out

cool man, thanx for the response, but how do i connect my right pec to grow like my left pec, like for right now, i want my right pec to be the same size as my left, any training i should do?

consider yourself lucky... i have a congential defect that makes my right side bigger than my left... it works itself out to some extent. Much less noticable now than before i started ever lifting weights. Strange thing is i don't have a stronger side.

not to be harsh but you are fucked!

how can I say that? well... for the last 7 years I've been trying to even them out myself and for some reason, one side just ends up a tiiiiiiiiny bit bigger than the other no matter what i do.. it is very frustrating

lol, you can't change how your muscles formed at birth....like some people have square or round pecs, high or low, etc....one of my pecs is connected differently, so it grows differently....I can only assume that the same is happening to you...

just do what i said above and you should be fine....it will start coming back up with your left in a couple months

nobody is perfectly balanced and symmetrical. My left side of my chest is always slightly bigger than my right, and im the only one who notices it unless i point it out and they look for it. My left bi peaks higher than my right slightly, my right bi is slightly fuller, my left tri has a lil bigger hook on it than my right. Shit happens. None of this is really noticable to most poeple, maybe an NPC judge might pick it out, but most people wont even notice unless u bring it up. Nobody is perfect, you can look at ANYONE and find differences from left side to right.

I agree 100% with TooPowerful4u. Everyone has asymetry. My college roomate had a similar problem to saint. He was born withouht a portion of his right pec. It was only really noticable to me when we lifted though and the right side did not contract and the left swole up. But unless you looked for it or knew about it you'd never notice. And it never affected his strength as we worked up to about 350 on the bench every week.
I personally think you notice it much more than anyone else would.
I mean look at Arnold. His upper body was almost perfect and one of his arms was almost an inch larger than the other. So no worries.

Shit, TP4U, I'm the same exact way with all those bodyparts....plus a couple other things...my right inside calf is bigger than the left, but the left outside is bigger than the right...my left lat used to be bigger than my right, but now the right is a little bigger....and my right trap is slightly bigger than my left...

again, nobody notices this but me, but its still there
