Take a good, long look at your body in a full length mirror. Size up both sides of your body, compair your shoulders and pectoral muscles, and size up your arms and legs. You can also use a measuring tape to check your legs and arms. But don't get too worried if your right arm or thigh is 1/4 inch bigger, It's natural to have one side just a little bigger. Remeber, muscle shape from one side to the other is a matter of genetics. Take Arnold for example. Compare his left peak on his bicep with his right. One was flat and one had a big peak. But if you have one side is so much bigger that you can see it in the mirror, this is a situation that you will want to work on. Whether your right or left handed your dominant side is almost always bigger and stronger than the other. But what happens if the imbalance is too much? You see it someime in the gym. Somebody is benching and the bar looks like it’s going to tip over because one arm is stronger than the other. The surest cure for the asymmetrical body is in using dumbbells or a bilateral weight machine to be sure that each limb is doing its equal share of work. Most two handed barbell or machine movements allow for one limb to work harder than the other. Cut these exercises out for a couple weeks or keep them to a minimum. Pecs Uneven? For example let's say you have uneven pecs, stop doing barbell bench press and do dumbbell bench and dumbbell flys. Go all the way down for a deep stretch and concentrate on feeling both sides work evenly. Dumbbell presses will work your pecs individually so the stronger one can't pick up the slack. Do your normal set (8-10 reps for example), then rest for a few seconds holding the dumb bells in the down position, then do two - three more reps on the smaller side. Anther idea is to spend some time working only your weak side, or at least concentrating on it. Treat a muscle imbalance like a lagging body part. That means exercise it first in your workout. For example, if my right bidep were weaker than my left, I would perform all the dumbbell curls for my right side before I would switch over to the left. And after my workout I might do 1 - 2 extra sets for my rignt arm. But strength is only part of the asymmetry solution. To even out your motor skills, when doing any exercise, always concentrate on your left side if you are right handed, try to think left handed. This improves the mind to muscle pathway. It may take some time to even out though, and remeber people generally aren't 100 % perfectly symmetrical. ___________________________________________ A GENETICALLY AVERAGE JOE'S GUIDE TO BUILDING MUSCLE WHILE LOSING FAT If you would like to get bigger and stronger without putting on fat, or if you just want to lose some fat without losing that hard-earned muscle, or maybe even get that thin-skinned contest shape...
