Tips on being symmetical?
Asked Burns on this matter, want another opinion ofc.
How do I even out my arms, pectoral muscle?
Even weight on both sides will make them even out or lift heavier on weaker side? When will results show up on this?
Lifting HEAVIER will not fix symmetry.
Adding 1 day a week of PURE symmetry building (this would be working the muscles that need to be symmetrical) PER WEEK is how to gain symmetry.
here is a sample for evening out your LEFT arm (bicep and tricep)
1x a week, focus on breakdowns/failures/negatives.
Sample:
5 sets One-Arm DB preacher curls
5 sets One-Arm DB hammer curls
5 sets one-arm cable isolation curls
5 sets DB kickbacks
5 sets 1 arm cable pulldowns
5 sets 1 arm db skullcrushers
Doing this ONCE per week on one of your rest days (or on leg day) would result in forcing muscle fiber breakdown and eventual buildup in the lacking muscle group.
Over time it would even out with your other muscles.
DO NOT DO EXTRA WEIGHT ON THE LACKING MUSCLE GROUP!
This can cause injury and increased strength without increased muscle volume (leading to more resistant muscle tissue for volume maximization)
