Hey, quick question. I dont know how, but i get somehow stronger (and automatically bigger) rear delt on right side. Im not gonna lie, i was doing dumbell flys and i never felt it in my rear delts, but i some weeks ago switched to dumbell face pulls and i can finally feel like im hitting my rear delts. Problem is that with same weight, i can do like 16 reps on right side and 6 on left side. My question is what to do now, should i stop working out stronger rear delt until my left will be at same level of strenght, or should i normally train them both, or more sets for weaker side ? Thanks for advices

If it bothers you then you can lay off the right side and just train the left until it catches up. However, as it's only been a few weeks chances are if you keep training both your left side will start to catch up anyway.

If you’re doing the exercises decent enough then it’s probably more of an upper-back posture issue than a muscle growth imbalance.

Switch over to band-pull aparts or dislocates for a bit. You'll keep continual tension on both sides which will help correct the imbalance. My right shoulder was far weaker than my left after I blew it up and these exercises helped significantly.

You have some sort of issue that probably requires the diagnosis of a medical professional.
Chiropractor or physical therapist maybe.
