need a few estimations ty

I would say around 15%. Difference in symmetry is very common, almost everyone has a muscle bigger on one side than the other. I wouldn't worry, what you should be focusing on is packing on that muscle. Just make sure you are controlling the movement equally. e.g. Barbell Bench Press - Make sure you are distributing and pushing the weight evenly across both arms. If you are still concerned, use dumbbells - they are good to help prevent asymmetry.

ah okay, thanks for the reply, i'll use dumbbells for chest to try even it out,

i was hoping to be at 12-13% in those first 2 pics, maybe you're right about 15%

anyone else can give a bodyfat estimation?

Hey bro, I have an uneven chest too... I've been bulking for 1.5 months or so and do find that barbells is the way to go, don't worry about how much you can bench... scrap it all together and use only barbells for chest... doing all forms of chest workouts with them.... eventually you'll force the muscles to even out, at least it should be an improvement. I also find getting bigger makes this little differences less noticeable.

Thanks for the advice, hope it works out well for you too.

Any bodyfat estimates guys? would help a lot.

[pshopmuscle]

probably 13-14%

[essinuol]

thanks, i think 1 more estimate will be enough

Probs 14%

around 15% probably sounds about right. As you lift it should even out. just be sure to use proper form and do slow(ish) controlled reps even if it means lowering weight slightly. It should correct itself with time. How long have you been lifting?

Just remember to try to keep a steady tempo with your lifts and don't try to lift too much too quick. If your looking for a good starting routine check out startingstrength or stronglifts. If you have a training partner it would help too, and try to stick to compound lifts (squat, deadlift, bench press, rows, overhead press) as much as you can in the beginning. Also check your form, record yourself if you have to (i know it sounds stupid) and watch videos on here of how to do the lift and compare to make sure you're doing it properly to avoid injury. Good luck, and hope you stick with it when you start. It can be frustrating but it's definitely worth it in the end.

Yeah i've done a lot of research and i've watched a bunch of vids on proper form.

I'll check out the two routines you mentioned, i'm gonna stick to lifting till i die haha.

Thanks for the motivation
