I have huge and poweful lats...and that is because i give them hell every single time i go to the gym.. But as my lats got bigger, i noticed a problem - My right lat is huge!, but by left side is barely visible!!! I really dont know what could have caused this since i train with bars that put equal intensity on both sides. Anyway, i guess now i need to fix the problem- does anyone know how to get symmetrical lats?
For any other muscle group id just use dumbells and work harder on the laggin side, but i dont know any exercises that allow you to adjust the intensity on only one side.

my right trap use to dominate my left then after time they jusy evened out. I think that It might have to do also with the ability to flex more on one side than the other if that makes since. For example both my calves are the same size, but just standing still I can only flex my right one I have to be on my toes to flex the left

Do more unilateral movements like bent-over rows or one arm lat pulldowns. I bet you pretty much train everything with bars and skip the dumbells. Wrong approach; sure you may be able to move more weight, but bodybuilding isn't about the weight you can heave up. Include both barbell and dumbells in your workouts.
