  1. Hello,

    As I have been getting deeper into my weight training, and increasing
    the muscle mass on my body, I have noticed a few anomalies:
    -My right pectoral is much more developed than the right
    -My left back muscles are more developed than the left
    -My left shoulder has more mass on it than the right

    Now, to add to this, my right shoulder blade is "double-jointed" in
    some way. I can move my shoulder blade about 2 inches upward, as if
    there was no socket keeping it in place. I have gone to the doctor
    about this in the past after experiencing shoulder pains during sleep,
    but he said it was nothing to worry about, that I just had a vastly
    extended range of motion for my right shoulder-blade.

    Now I can only assume that there are a few ligaments/tendons that are
    different on my right side, which would put more emphasis on my right
    pec when doing shoulder excersizes/bench presses.

    Could anyone give me some advice on how to get my right shoulder to
    take on some more load- shifting it away from my pec? The imbalance is
    getting pretty noticable, and I would rather try and correct it now
    than even further down the road.

    Thanks

    Dumbbell work, maybe.
