Hello everybody this is my first 1st post.
I have been blessed with a curved spine(scoliosis - C curve not an S curve ) due to my left leg being 8mm longer than the right, and as a result I have asymmetry throughout my body. I wear a heel-lift in all my footwear.
My workout history is just a bunch of press-ups in my teens and then over an entire summer a couple of years back.
The problem that I have is that my right pec is notably smaller than the left and I am determined to even it out because it is habitually on my mind; so I am going to accept the gift of a weightbench and get to work.
I plan to use dumbbells exclusively and solely work my chest region one day(so I guess dumbbell presses), the following day I will work my legs on the leg extender exclusively. I will work out for 5 days and have 2 rest days. I will start at low weights and never substitute form for straining to lockout extra lbs.
I have no desire to be Arnie, I just want to even out my imbalances and look like I’ve taken care of my body at some point.
By virtue of the C curve in my spine my ribcage on the left side protrudes outward perhaps 5mm from “normal” alignment, and when looking head-on into the mirror the right side of my ribcage seems larger in overall size(this is because of the marginal repositioning and compensating of muscles over the years). My right shoulder is bigger, as is my right arm. I am right-handed.
I would dearly appreciate a tried and tested routine that may well help me with the pec imbalance? I have pieced together information from a host of different sources about what I should do, but they contradict one another; I don’t want to write them now as I am looking for completely uninfluenced viewpoints.
I have read scores of posts here and in other leading weightlifting forums, but have never read a post by somebody that has stated they have a C curve and rectified the disproportionate pec issue, if there is such a person out there could you please take the time to reply.
Thank you
