Hi guys I’ve always had a very strong back. Just a few weeks ago i noticed my left lat seems to be smaller than the right… The right lat seems to extend down lower on my side and also comes out a little bit more than the left. I’m looking for some tips from any of you guys on how to improve my left lat and help my overall symmetry.
Thanks!
Unilateral pulling. No more barbell rows or lat pulldowns with a straight bar until its fixed.

WTF i have this same problem i thought i was the only one.
Could it also be your ability to flair it out? if you have one scapula tighter than the other it would most likely make a visibile difference to your lat spread.
I’ve got the same problem. I decided to just live with it.
I’m not sure… I played baseball for probably 10 years which I pitched alot. I got to thinking about how the motion, when you pitch you extend your arm outward stretching the lat. IDK if that could be the reason my right runs down farther on the side of my body than the left. Since I am right handed… When I do lifts, the bar comes down evenly for the most part and I don’t notice a strength difference between my lats. So I’m not sure how to even them out.!

UNILATERAL PULLING
Dumbell rows
Single arm lat pull downs
1 arm pullovers on the HS pullover
One arm seated rows
Did you ignore my first post for a reason ?

I wonder if this has anything to do with it. I can easily flair my right, but my left, not so much. I am a hair weaker on my left, but notice a visible difference when I try to flair both.

BONEZ you are one of my favorite posters you always have good info keep it up man.
I’ve got the same deal I think, from behind my back looks symmetrical, by when I post up a front lat spread, it looks so uneven. I’ve chalked it up to lighting, but there’s still a little voice in the back of my head telling me to add in more single-limbed pulling, it might be BONEZ.

Yeah, he’s a good poster, but that’s just common sense.
