This might be an odd topic to some of you, but I seems to me that my left pectorial and left bicep is bigger then my right! Now i play the bagpipes and this puts stress on those two muscles on the left side of my body, but i dont like it and am wondering if continuing weightlifting will make it go away!

Thanks, Rob

This is not an odd topic. To "even things out" you should put more emphasis on working with dumbbells. When you work with a barbell, your stronger side will always compensate for the weaker one.
