Left Side Of the Chest Not Responding

saurabhsahu Posts: 19 Joined: 2002/03/06	2002/07/04, 08:31 AM My Left Side of the Chest Not Responding to the exercise I do , I don't feel the buring or the load on the left side when I lift weights in exercises such as Flat Bench Press , Inclined Bench Press , Flat Dumbell Flyes and Inclined Dumbell Flyes. I don't feel the strech and burn on the left , specially the left chest muscle close to my solar plexsus doesn't feel any thing. WHile the workout is doing wonders to my roight side. I am worried ... Plz. HELP !!!
