Noticed today that my right lat is visibly larger than my left.
I’m a powerlifter and I don’t do much single arm training at all. In fact all I so single arm are Kroc rows and bicep curls, and if anything my right arm tends to be weaker.
So, any ideas about causes and more importantly, solutions?
I’ve got a slight tweak of some sort in my left upper arm which has been there for a few weeks but is getting better.
I’ve noticed absolutely no odd movements for barbell presses, rows, DL, etc. The bar moves smoothly and without and tilting in any weird direction. I used to sometimes come up crooked (right faster) doing pull ups but that stopped months ago.

I do use mix grip for heavier sets, but only when I can’t use matched. I’m working on my grip, so happily I’m able to use matched grip more than I used to. When I use mixed grip I alternate hands pretty evenly, either each rep or each set, precisely because I didn’t want this imbalance. Apparently that didn’t work as well as I’d hoped.
Thanks for the tips, I think what I’ll do is add some isolateral machine rows at the end of every session for high-ish reps just on my left side and whenever I do Kroc rows I’ll add an extra set on my left side. When thnigs are even again I’ll just keep a close eye on it to make sure it doesn’t go out of kilter again.
