left pec bigger than right

keencuedess Posts: 40 Joined: 2004/04/04	2004/11/06, 01:46 PM My right pec is noticeably bigger than my right one. I think my right arm is slightly longer than my left and it throws off certain exercises. It really frustrates me. What are your suggestions on how to fix this problem?

You can build some serious mass with dumbells. In fact you should look at Ronnie Coleman (he claims he is clean, again I state...claims). Here is a link http://www.2004olympia.com/imgs/video/coleman/01RC.swf watch as he presses masssssssive dumbells. If I added right they look like 200lb dumbells. Correct me if I am wrong folks.

GRab some dbs....bench one arm, hold that contraction, an dbring the other one up to join it, then reverse it,keep the last one flexed, and let the other one down. -------------- GO into battle as if was your last, cause thats the only one you loose!
