Uhhh, maybe in theory if you were to take your muscle development all the way to your max genetic potential(or close.) Then ya it would all be balanced since you'd have as much muscle as your frame could naturally hold.

But I mean in my case my right lat is much more pronounced than my left lat, and just doing symmetrical exercises isn't going to correct the imbalance. If anything I feel like in my case my right lat will continue to grow more pronounced, since it will be moving more weight than the left one.

I've actually noticed when doing pullups that in the last reps before failure my body always starts turning towards my right stronger side. Have to fight hard to correct it..

In this case, how come unilateral back work will help you when what you need the most is stretching your chest? Your lat might be more pronounced because your traps and rhomboid are weaker on this side...or because traps/rhomboid are tensed on the other side.

For some, unilateral work can help stregthen a weak side...but for some, it might be a complete waste of time because the problem is not a weak body part, but it might be a retracted/tensed body part you didnt even suspect.

in my case strength is the same but size isn't

and how often should i increase the weight.
i was thinking what if i just trained the left side first with unilateral exercises stop at the same number of reps on the right and increase the weight when i hit my rep goal and when i can use good form on every single set. from then just repeat the process. any thoughts??

Good point, dont know why I didnt think about this even though I know rounded shoulders can be caused by overtight chest muscles. Not sure how I'd go about isolating the problem, but good post still.

That's how it works!

u ****in bastard. sorry but i am. why the **** would i work my muscle imbalance but not my entire body!!? im already doing that.

Strong feeling this supposed imbalance is all in OP's head.

look bro i take your advice to heart as much as we argue. I'm doing 0 cardio aside from warming up, eating a surplus of calories meeting my macros, getting as much sleep as i can. being consistent and intense as i can. but if i don't work on correcting this then what's the point when that's my goal. symmetry .

You post a new thread everyday. If you truly are following people's advice then give it time. If your supposed imbalance is as bad as you claim it is then it will not be fixed overnight even if you are implementing the correct methods to fix it.

Also, post pics or it didn't happen (with clothes on of course).

I never said you were wrong for telling me so, but you shouldn't be a follower/******* for me asking questions.
Well what do you recommend i do as the plan of attack I'm all ears and will do whatever i gotta do.

idk what to tell you. I'm just desperate for results thats why. and i guess the last part you said is true. sometimes i just feel what im doing isn't working or im doing it the wrong way etc.
and please after all these threads and me admitting people noticed it you want me to embarrass myself further? i already told u the truth

i already did. your the one wasting your time for writing on this and my other threads. and other threads giving bad advice. or just being an douche.
these guys above me are being bitches. but they got some constructive Cristism none the less . all you do is nothing.
