much as I hate to agree with reaper your hands and shoulders both are not level, and that can make a big difference in what your lats look likeDo you do pull-ups ?
I'm not sure your left lat is smaller. Your left arm seems positioned slightly lower than the right. (in the photo above). This is the same issue I ran into with my back pic as well which gives an illusion that your lat is smaller.
Even up your arms, take a pic, then check again.
If you have article without advertisement and give credit to the author go for it.CORRECTIVE EXERCISES. I do not kow the protocal for posting other sites on here, but I have some good info that could help you with your issue (its just from other sites). PM if you want a little help.
Can't agree with you more. I had shoulder issues and once I corrected it with proper scap/rotator exercises the pain has subsided greatly, but I still have a little scapular winging. I love this stuff, I work with high level athletes at this time and am learning/applying this stuff and its incredibly interesting to see someone do an exercise, and watch how they literally cannot use a certain muscle, complete shutdown...there body starts shaking...amazing.If you have article without advertisement and give credit to the author go for it.

I am recovering from a C7 disk injury that was pretty brutal on my nerve root. This branches into the brachia plexus.Can't agree with you more.

what?and it still what B5150 pointed out then yea its smaller.
i gotta read that artlice still...some of those angles look a little better to me...have you been doing the correctives? And if you havent yet, some prone T's and Y's might be good too...

yes i doWhen u do deads to u use an alternate grip?... if so trying gripping with both palms facing the same way that might help.
the grip could help but there is def a bigger issue here...brolic needs to do some activation/strengthening work around his scap otherwise this problem just wont go away.
i read all those.. u were a great help... so i stop useing a underhand grip for rows...you need to read more. I posted you a video and multiple articles.
thats funny B my pec/arm imbalance is the exact same... my job requies me to drill through lots of wood beams that take an immense amount of pressure sometimes (when im too lazy to re-sharpen my bits) and as a result my right arm is considerably larger namely my tricep. cause of so my left pec has to over compensate and is larger.There are many factors that contribute to this and or compound it.
There are a multiple of possibilities as in depth as genetics, spinal disks and or nerve impingement, as well as form. As well, and most likely there are things like muscle imbalance and or dominance.
For example in myself:
My left pec is (was) larger than my right. You know why? My right tricep is larger than my left. Pay attention, stick with me.
When executing bench press, most specifically barbell, I use too much tricep on my right dominant side and little tricep on my left side. The result is that my right pec does not get recruited enough in the pressing movement because my dominant tricep overcompensates. Furthermore, on my left side, my less dominant tricep does not recruit as much and subsequently forces more recruitment of my left pec when performing press movement.
My right trap is a little smaller than my left because I am right arm dominant. When shrugging I tend to recruit less right side trap because my dominant are is overcompensating.
I suspect that when you are doing pull movements for your back you have a dominant arm that is being used and is overcompensating and not allowing for full recruitment of your lat muscle.
Think about it and consider looking at it the next time you execute your back work. There are a multitude of ways to compensate for this but the first step is identifying the underlying cause.
This is just my personal experience from some rather decent understanding of body mechanics as well as trial and error and attention to detail.
Good luck.
what is a T and Y... how is a wall slide diff from a shoulder press movementok, start with these...prone t's and y's and wall slides
why do u think its jacked upthis isnt a muscle size issue, his scap is jacked up and he has some bad muscle imbalances.
one of my delts use to hurt alot. i saw a dr and said i polly sore and gave me some pills and said it doesnt feel better , we will x ray it...Now, I assume you have some shoulder issues right now also...and if you dont to be honest you probably will...

I agree. :thumbsup:But when it comes to the back and lats I would assume that the best bet is form... its tough for me to flatten out my large shoulder blades while grabbing my waist and either can look larger from pic to pic depending on how well I execute the pose.
please post ur picsI agree. :thumbsup:
I was just stating that I have the same imbalance as B did and also have the same lat prob this fellow does... tough as hell to pull my scap all the way flat on either side will properly holding my waist.
