I've received many questions about physique symmetry and balance over the years similar to the one below. My response has basically been the same. Do not compensate for an imbalance with one-sided exercises as you are leaving yourself susceptible to injury. Perform each exercise using the strictest of form and the imbalance will work itself out over time.
Question and Answers with Harvey Reich - Illinois Bodybuilding Champion:
Question: I’ve been working out for six months now and my left arm still seems to be bigger and stronger than the right. What is the most efficient way to correct this?

Answer: Hi Steve. I’d be willing to bet that you are left handed. Whatever inclination we are is naturally used more and would be more developed and stronger. If you keep working out on a consistent basis with good solid, balanced form this will eventually work itself out with your right arm catching up resulting in a more balanced eye pleasing physique.
