what can i do to make them the same size. my right is so big compared to my left but when i flex my traps my right shoulder blade sticks out way farther then my left for some reason
thats a good point. I know doing deads with under/over can work one side of the lat differently and cause it to look different than the otherare you doing them with an over/underhand grip?
one sided training is very common for bringing out uneven bodypartsI have scoliosis and due to that have some unsymetrical parts. Try to add more weight and work that side alone during your training.
dumbbell shrugs make sense to work it more evenly.dumbbell shrugs, force you to use both evenly. and it might help if you stop jerkin off with you right hand and start using ur left haha
What exercise did they give you in physical therapy? I have a paralyzed thoracic nerve on my left side. Causes winged scapula and has made my left side weaker. I paralyzed it several years ago, back in high school. I've been workingout hard again in the last 9 months, and put more emphasis on the big muscles, and left the little guys behind. Now I paying for.If your shoulder blade is winging which it kinda sounds like it is, it could be a nerve problem running through your shoulder that will not allow the muscle in your left shoulder blade to be worked. I sustained an injury lifting and it was because I pinched a nerve and it caused my trap to almost disappear then start to come back. It wasnt until i saw a doctor and physical therapist that they diagnosed what was wrong. On the bad side if this is the case there will be some lifts that will not be able to perform for about 6 months (mostly over the head lifts). The good side is you can still continue working out if you wish. The nerve eventually heals itself. My suggestion would be to see a doctor and ask about a winged scapula. Good luck.

OP, you got to pay extra special attention to your everyday posture, and form. Keep that shoulder blade in. Chest out, shoulders back.
I think this is usually the case. Most of us have some degree of asymmetry we have to deal with, and it results in compensatory adjustments. With squats, I have to position 1 foot about 5-10' out more than the other or it doesn't "feel" right. My legs look symmetrical, but the mechanics indicate some small degree of asymmetry. It becomes second nature to deal with these idiosyncrasies after you've lifted enough years.... It's very possilbe that you "big" trap is trying to do a stabilizing job for your scapula that it just can't do mechanically. ...
yup,... my traps are kinda Asymmetrical to a degree. When relaxed they arent noticeable but when doing a front bicep pose, it is noticeable that the trap insert on my right side is lower than the left. I have attributed this to many years of my early childhood, walking around with my shoulders slouched forward. I still have to constantly remind myself to keep my shoulders back, so i look like im doing a back pose all the time, ..lol.I think this is usually the case.
