how to get chest to grow evenly?

[noclue9415]

wouldn't u use dumbells instead? that way instead of on barbell having the stronger pec take over and letting the weak be aided with dumbells u allow both 2 strengthen 2 the same weight?

i find that it is easier for me to keep a good form when i do barbell bench. i also dont put clips on the ends, so if i get sloppy without a spotter, i will be able to tell easier. With two separate movements going on, i find that i can get into a bad posture and poor form a lot easier than if everything was moving all at once. Its just a personal preference though. If you think its easier to keep everything level with dumbells, then go ahead and do it. I just feel that i can get in weird positions easier with dumbell presses.

i c what ur saying but my opinion if i had one weak pec i would do light dumbelles, 4 sets of 12, that should strengthen up the weak one asap

But he said hes already been using the dumbells. So either hes like me, and its hard for him to keep good form using dumbell press, or he just doesnt know how to lift weights. Just trying to help out bro.

You need to also make sure that your arms are even on the other plane too. So that your arms are completely perpendicular to your body. You don't want one hand coming down an inch above the other one and you also don't want it an inch out in front of the other. I guess you might want to check the third plane too...each arm is the same distance away from the side of your body.

Having someone look at you will benching can see that.

Im going to start doing extra reps and may use slightly heavier weight on one side as mentioned. ausome advice every one.

When you say "everything is inline" do you mean he should go see a chiropractor for scoliosis?

Yes that and to make sure everything is in line. My doctor told me I was leaning too much to one side. After 4-7 visits I could see the different in my right peck. Also I have been in very bad motocross crash which did not help my back. So if you had any problems in the past that would put anything out of line go get checked. If worked for me. Also smith incline press to the neck worked great to bring it up. Really concentrate on your weak side will do them.

Try doing barbell bench with your feet elevated in the air as if your doing an ab crunch. This will cause your stabalizer muscles to keep your body/bar balanced and should work the weaker side of your chest more. Go nice and slow squeezing your pec the whole time.
