I would suggest switching to dumbells when training your chest (i.e. flyes, DB becnch press, inclines, etc.). This will encourage the other one to grow and balance with the other pec, b/c dumbells are more challenging and force each pec to work individually. I'm not saying to completely throw out the barbell, but try this out for several weeks and see what it does.
What Rez means by 'stretching' is that for example, when you're doing a dumbell flye, at the bottom of the movement when your arms are almost parallel to your head, it's best to emphasize on stretching your pecs along with that movement. When your arms go up, focus all of you attention on your pecs and squeeze them as hard as you can. When working the chest, a lot of people tend to work their shoulders instead, which defeats the purpose. My rule of thumb is to temporarily transport your brain and focus into the muscle that you want to work. That way, you'll really be focusing on blasting that muscle and evening-out those pecs.
And one more thing: I agree, it is fun to go heavy and show-off in the gym, but if you're the type of dude who goes heavy all the time, try lightening up the weight a bit. Make sure your form is PERFECT, and pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, you will see results, my friend

they look the same size from the front but from the side you can tell my left one is fuller and thicker

Scolio = scoliosis which is a curving of the spine. This is an extreme example:B bOy CrAyOn said:

It sounds like you've got itB bOy CrAyOn said:
.Unless it's really bad (like the picture I posted earlier), you wouldn't know if you have it. Even if you can stand straight with no problems, you may still have it. I was diagnosed with a slight case (no surgery needed) when I went to an Orthopedic (one side of my chest was bigger than the other just like you described). Like I said before though, gain about 40 lbs and no one (not even you) will noticeB bOy CrAyOn said:
. The usual diagnosis of scoliosis comes from having a chest/back x-ray or standing in front of a posture chart.hammer2500

When you stand straight up and look in the mirror relaxed is one shoulder higher that the other? If that is the case you upper spine is out of alingment and that will cause one pec or shoulder to develope more than the other. If that is the case you need to strech you pecs.
