Left pec more developed than the right?

Ok so well I have been doing inclined resistance bench presses with a bowflex I have and for some reason my left pec is gaining muscle decently but for some reason my right isn't. Like if I move my arm back a bit and flex my left pec will be hard but for some reason my right one isnt as hard and like doesnt come out as much? Sorry I cant really find any words to decently describe it.

Any tips on how to get the right to catch up to the left and too keep up? I heard doing different weights on the sides is bad for muscle development is that true?
 
my left pec is also larger then my right. try dumbbell work for a while. I have given up trying to even them out.
 
You must be right handed.

The right arm is stronger, to begin with so it will do most of the work in the compound pressing movement. The left pec will naturally receive more stress because the left arm, can't help out as much. This will decrease as you increase your strength overall.
 
ok thanks I thought it might be this because it is also a bit easier for my left arm to get up there. I just didnt know how much biceps and the arm have on bench pressing
 
Also make sure u can actually have the power to flex both of them. Like it looks like my right arm is bigger than my left, but its not if anything my left is stronger its just that for some reason i cant flex my left arm very well however i dont have the problem with my pecs. Just thought maybe u might wanta take that into cosideration if thats u.

good theory man, i think this is what happened with me. it evens out though, just ignore it and lift with good form and keep upping that shit
