1. Include unilateral work in your routine (DB rows, etc.).
2. Stop caring about it so much. I promise you no one else does!

Yes. You're human, and humans are rarely completely symmetrical/balanced.Originally Posted by peacher87
All of those listed in any one of the structured programs found in the stickies at the top of the 'workout programs' forum. Work diligently for the next year or two to add 15-20 pounds of overall muscle to your frame, and your current issues will greatly subside if not completely disappear.What exercises can I do to fix this?No brain, no gain.

Like already mentioned, symmetry is rare.
You'll always be dominant on one side so it makes sense that that side is stronger/more coordinated/grows more. HOWEVER, for some it could be due to a crooked spine, s****osis or not. If your spine is out of alignment, your ribs compensate by shifting which in turns affects muscles. Everything is connected.
But for 95% of people, it comes down to just focusing on proper form as well as incorporating unilateral movements into your routine.
Good luck!
