There is nothing to b done brother.....everyone's body is different and sometimes one bodypart will be leaner than another, it's nothing to worry about!

I have the same problem to some degree with my quads and my calves, even my arms to an extent...and I think it is pretty common...even with IFBB pros, I remember a comment about things to look for in an upcoming show and Bob Cicherillo's right bicep was an attraction to see.
So it is pretty common from top to bottom, IFBB to amateurs. I just try to hide any weaknesses or imbalances and focus on my strengths...when I have the option for which quad to display or which calf, or side of chest, etc. I pick my best ones. From a front relaxed pose there isn't much you can do about it but in front bicep poses and a few others you can turn a leg out a tiny bit to draw attention away from it.
I wouldn't worry about it too much and just focus on all your strengths and have a great show!

true but you cant hide it during the front relaxed and you arguably spend more time in the front relaxed pose than anything else.
maybe extra leg extensions for the less defined leg?

I would bet that your left quad is smaller than your right. So even though your BF% is the same on both legs, with less muscle development there is less overall definition

That is certainly possible but if his legs are really the same size then he just has a bodyfat imbalance.

Your 8 weeks out, you will be seeing MANY changes in the next 8 weeks and especially within the last week before your show. I really wouldn't worry about identical deffinition at this time.

Whats the deal about bodyfat imbalance? I've never heard of it... sorry but I guess I'm a noob at this.
