I really wouldn't worry about it. In a few years it will all even out. You will always have one bicep slightly larger than the other one, pec, calf, etc. But like I said it will even out.

Just take out your bike pump and pump it back up. jk...

Actually, the very best method to balance your chest out is to work strickly with dumbbells. Heavy dumbbell presses force each muscle to work independently. Over the course of time, the smaller pec will be forced to catch up to the larger pec.

I second Sdf's advice..I mainly do all dumbell work for chest because of a little pec imbalence..He is also probably right that you are the only one who really notices it.

definatly true. my left side pec is stronger than my right side and my left side bicep has a much higher arch to it than my right, but this could also be that my right is my dominate arm so its much fuller/stronger. im doing dumbbells now too. does anyone know of a good weight i should use i can bench 225 for 2 reps

So use strict proper form and use dumbells(I never used DB's for chest). But should I use ONLY dumbells for like 6-8 months until they even out or should I use both BB and DB's at the same time.Here's my chest routine.... BB=Barbell DB=Dumbell (if you dont know)

BenchPress(BB) 3 sets 10/8/6 - adding on weight
Incline BP (BB) 3 sets 10/8/6 - adding on weight
DB BenchPress 3 sets 10/8/6 - adding on weight
DB Flys 3 sets 10/8/6 - adding on weight

Is there anything on my routine I should change to help my pecs even out?
