muscle imbalance

marckozman Posts: 14 Joined: 2005/04/24	2005/05/19, 01:02 PM hey, i've been working out slighty over a year now, with a few breaks in between due to injury, however, I have a muscle imbalance. My left pec is larger than my right pec. Someone told me when doing the bench press, or any related chess training exercises, just to add five extra pounds on the weeker side (right side) so i can make it as strong as the left side. Is this the proper technique or should I be doing something different?

I do nothing with barbells. I assume what you mean is to continue doing what i am doing but use the same weight on both sides. Will I be on the right track if that's what i begin to do? ============ Quoting from menace3000: Slap the person who told you that....
