Ive been doing strength training for some months now plus other sports and ive noticed that all my muscles on my right side are bigger than on the left. What could cause this and how can I correct it? thanks
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Maybe you should use dumbells instead of a barbell.

It will never be perfect, but dumbells will help.

in what way should i use the dumbbells?
you mean put more weight on the left one than on the right?

I used to have the same problem like you on my dominant side mainly because I played tennis and kick the football with my right leg.
I also ride quite alot and that helped even out the differences. My muscles became leaner though. But if you're trying to bulk up then you should focus your weights more on your left side. Do extra sets for your left side.
That helped sort out my problem.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
what i've been thinking about this is to work out both sides with dumbells with the same amount, but just keep training like that until your left catches up with your right.
i.e. if you can do 40 lbs per arm, 10 reps w/left and 18 w/right. work each with 40 lbs until failure. eventually your left should catch up with the right, then you can evenly increase the weight.
any comments?

No, what he's saying is don't increase the weight until BOTH arms can handle the weight. Eventually the weak arm with catch up with the strong one. You follow?

You should never work one side harder than the other. Just train them the same with seperate dumbells, and it will work out with time.
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Are you sure the muscles are bigger? It's possible your skeleton is out of whack. Can you lift more with one side than the other? My left pec looks a little bigger, but it's just because my left ribs protrude more than the right. Doc said it is normal...
