Bodybuilding FAQ - Bodybuilding and How To Fix Disproportionate Muscle Growth?
Tuesday November 11, 2008
This week one of the questions on my bodybuilding forum was regarding disproportionate muscle growth.
While uneven muscle growth is something that mostly happens to beginners, it can also happen to more advanced athletes if careful attention is not paid to exercise execution. Also, competitive bodybuilders who predominantly practice their posing emphasizing just one side of the body will encounter this problem as well. For example, if you do all of your side chest poses by using the right side, then your left pectoral will over develop (as this is the pectoral muscle that is flexed) while the remainder of the right side of the body will develop more than the left.
Finally, athletes who practice sports like bowling, where one side is used predominantly more than the other, are also at risk to suffer from strength imbalances and uneven development.
In this week's Bodybuilding FAQ - Bodybuilding and How To Fix Disproportionate Muscle Growth?, find out how you can set up bodybuilding workouts that will fix uneven growth.

Hi
Thanks for every thing!
But what is the way out from this problem?
My right chest is bigger than left and instead the left shoulder is more well- built. I really suffer of it when I work out in the gym.
Have a nice day
