Issues with Pecs

lethaldosage45 Posts: 2 Joined: 2008/09/01	2008/09/06, 03:32 PM Hey, I've been training for 3-4 months now and my left pec is larger than the right. I have been doing A LOT of mopping with my summer job and it seems to have used my left pec much more than my right because when i use the mop in the opposite hands i can feel it working my right pec. So because of all that extra time spent using my left pec the right one is smaller. Does anyone have any tips on how to help even them out?? I was thinking of doing benchpress with an extra 5lbs on the right arm??

I used it to pick up wax so it weight it down. But no, my arms are both the same size, just the pecs are different. But i will take your advice with the dumbbells! thanks
