Bodybuilding

I am seeing some discrepancies in size, left side compared with the right. Does this mean I won’t be able to be a bodybuilder? How should I address this, with more weight or reps on the smaller side?

My advice: Don’t try to compensate for the natural imbalance in the body’s strength or development by doing additional weight, sets or reps. Each body will reach its own symmetry. Look too close and this muscle stuff can drive a good person loony.

Go… Godspeed… DD
