Crooked Chest - Saturday, July 09, 2005 12:33 PM
I've only done pushups for the past 2 months and my chest is crooked. My left is a lot bigger then my right? what should i do?
 
*if i go into weight training and on my chest excer. i put more weight on my right side, will that catch my right chest up to my left?

do dumbbell chest press, and stop at the rep that causes the weak side to not be able to continue, after a few weeks or months, eventually it will even out

it will even out a little but it wont be perfect, it might but doubtfully
 
I asked around too about that, a bunch of bodybuilders told me that the body is not symetrical, like your abs, look at bodybuilders, their abs arent prefectly even

Dumbell press, and pick a weight that your weaker side can do.  If its easy for the stronger side, ignore it and focus on the weak side.
 
My left bicep was weaker than my right.  After two months, my left was stronger, by a lot, then my right.  Now its the opposite again .

I do a modified 5x5 type program.  5x5 is where you lift heavy, 5 sets, 5 reps.  When you go up a weight, you decrease the number of sets, or the number of reps, then build it back up again, so you were stronger than before.  However, I like to do 5 sets of 8 reps, for size.  When I go up a weight, I drop the number of sets then build it back up again.  Others have different workouts.
