Want to fix your uneven chest?
Welcome aboard, joining this club will help you get scientific with your gym time to earn a big and uneven chest.
Humans aren’t completely symmetrical. If your chest imbalance is due to incorrect workout methods or preference of one arm over the other, methods to remedy or improve it may include
1) Create a Balanced Chest Work Routine
If you’re in the habit of going to the gym, you’re one step ahead. Mixing up your chest workout routine will not only help you stay interested, but it’ll also build more even muscle definition in your chest and pectoral muscles.
If you’re not a gym goer, you can help even out your chest by performing chest exercises with minimal equipment at home, such as:
a) pushups
b) decline pushups
c) headstand press
d) pullups
2) Practice Yoga
Studies have shown a daily hatha yoga routine can improve the breath capacity of your lungs, improve the flexibility of your chest, and increase muscle strength.
A regular yoga practice allows for both whole-body and focused exercises on particular muscle groups. It’s also been shown to improve posture.
3) Exercise Your Week Side
If you consistently use one side of your body for lifting objects or performing daily tasks, this could cause your chest to become uneven.
Make an effort to use your less developed side to lift things in order to balance out the strength and muscle composition on that side. Include your arms and shoulders on the less-dominant side in more day-to-day activities as well.
4) Using Dumpbells
Exercising with dumbbells may help rehabilitate the weaker side of your chest. Dumbbells< allow you to target the part of your chest that needs to be activated. Increasing the amount of reps on your weak side can assist with treating your uneven chest. Common dumbbell chest exercises include:
a) dumbbell chest press
b) lying chest fly
c) standing chest fly
d) incline chest pres
5) Look For a Personal Trainer
If you’re struggling in the gym or at home, you may need to get a personal trainer or ask for help from someone with experience.
Poor workout form may be contributing to your uneven chest and a trainer or fitness professional will be able to help you correct your technique.
To Conclude
An uneven chest is likely due to one side of your chest being used more than the other. With a corrected workout routine and hard work, your chest will usually improve.
