Dumbells rather than barbells. Should help you even out a little.
Thats what I meant by free weights, thanks!
bigwillytry a smith machine until you get a lil stronger.
You need to do more isolation exercises to build up the weak muscle. Also you might have to start doing free weight chest exercises as well like flyes. Also noone is asymmetrical so one muscle or side will always be slightly bigger but if it is that noticeable then isolate more and work on the weak muscles more then once a week.
Lower the weight and concentrate on your form
Exactly...youre going to heavy chief
Bingo! This^^^^^^ x2
BetterOnTopOne side being lower is due to a weak point. You need to restart from ground zero. Its clear your form has been off for quite some time and your seriously risking injury. Feet need to be at 90 degrees planted in the ground, You need to squeeze your lats almost digging your shoulder blades into the bench and really engage your core. Dont use clips and drop the weight all the way down to a point where you can control it without any weights moving and work your way back up. Never compensate form for extra weight or reps thats the biggest meat head thing you can do. By doing so your only being counter productive and risking putting yourself out of the gym potentially for months. Hopefully your not running any really strong drugs considering your form is off once your strength starts going up your seriously risking fucking yourself up.
1. How are you holding the bar ? 2. When you bring the bar down are you bending your wrist ? 3. There are so many different variables ? We need more info to help yea !
