    Been lifting for 1 year and didn't notice until now.

    So I wanted to get some progress pictures on my PC, so I took some pictures with my webcam. I noticed that my left lat is sticking out waaaay more than my right one, is this because of me training the left lat more (I don't see how I could've done that..), or is it something that I can't really do anything with? Thanks for any answers!

    Muscle symmetry can drive a bodybuilder nuts!

    My left bi and forearm are bigger than my right
    My left chest is bigger than right
    My left quad is bigger than right
    Only by tiny amounts which only you can notice haha but its annoying.

    It has to do with mind to muscle connection. Obviously your dominant side has a better connection.

    What you can do to try and counter this is use your non-dominant side for more things to create a better MMC (picking up remote, playing with your phone, lifting a weight off the ground)
    Also, focus on making sure you use your right lat in your back exercises. Dont move up a weight until your right side can handle it properly.

    As for doing right lat only exercises I can't comment on this as I don't know if that will benefit or make it worse.

    Just to assure you, no-one will notice your left lat is bigger except you. So try not to stress too much.
