Question about building muscle?

[ryallwayne21]

Every time i work out i always feel that my right side is definitely stronger and more muscle-y while the left is always uneven, weaker, and more tendon-y. I'm fine at building muscle i have a good body but i just feel so uneven especially when im doing something like pushups or lat pull-downs or benching. I am right handed and i know that does have an effect but i want to get my body a little more even so that i dont feel like im always doing my workout with my right side?

i had da same problem wen i started seriously working out. but da solution is simple, just focus on making the letf side even with ur right side. exercise ur left side and evrything will soon even out.

Dumbbells are your answer. Makes you use equal effort and will even you up if you indeed do have an issue.

i sometimes have the same problem, try doing stuff with dumbbells so that you can use just one side at a time and focus the work on that

I have this problem also. I had a back injury and my left leg for a long time was much weaker then my right leg. At one point I could not even use my calf muscle at all. I just concentrate on using both sides when lifting weights or any other type of exercise. You can also try to do things that work one side at a time. So you are making sure to work your left side enough. At my gym they have a chest press machine that is mainly handles on cables attached to weight and I can just pull with one side and then the other side separately. And like the other person said dumbells would work too.

Also if your legs feel uneven you can do things like leg extensions leg curls and just use one leg then the other. I also use the calf press machine and just do one calf and then the other calf. I still feel like my left leg is not as strong but it's gaining strength since last summer and is much more closely matched to my other leg now.
