Try and puff the side of your chest that it smaller, out some more, to emphasize it.

The answer is pretty simple, but is it the answer you want to hear?
Switch to dumbbells and never train the stronger side more than the weaker. Keep perfect form as well (equal)

What chef says, you could also add a couple of extra reps to the weaker side

Hit those rear delts too.

you need to hit the rear delts more often or harder, also as stated switch to using DB,s, we all have one side that is more dominant, you just have to work at it, keep really good form and things will come along.

yep switch to db's and hit rear delts

Id say the rear delts are the most overlooked bodypart to the average Joe Bloggs in the gym, u can tell by looking at someone's shoulder's wether they train them or not. A good set of rear delts makes the shoulder area look denser, more shapely and also gives more separation from the traps. When i do rear delts i lean over an incline bench with my chest resting on the top of it, This puts u in a set isolating position without the worry of balance/stability when just bending over.

Reverse cable crossovers are awesome for hitting the posterior delts

sweet_FA · 30-03-2005, 05:45 PM

Yeah i like throwing cable crossovers in there too!! I sumtimes do them using the cables from the top as it hits them from a different angle. You gotta be careful not to catch the bridge of ur nose tho :boohoo: !!! Ive seen some guys with nice friction burns on their snot lockers from that exercise!!!

Don't know about any body else but I find seated cable rows make my rear delts burn like hell.....

I find if you do these with a rope and pull to the neck,(try widening at the top of the pull). really kills rear delts, occasionaly will Sset with rear delt cable crossovers
