Compound lifts... uneven growth??

[dnbaker]

My right side seems to be growing a lot more than my left, even though I've been doing all compound lifts. Any ideas why? I'm really creeped out.

It's basically a modified 5x5 on squat, bench, etc.

Stats are 190#, ~11%BF, 7 months training, 6'3''.

All of these lifts are balanced left to right.

Here is a sample of my last workout:

Bench: 10 Sets from 15 @ 135 up to 2x2 @ 165
Squat: 5x5 up to 175, plus 2x2 @ 185
Wide-grip pullups: 2 sets x 5
Close-grip pullups: 3 sets x 5
Rows:
3 x 10, DBs up to 70s
3 x 5, BB up to 135
Leg Press: 3x3 @ 440
Deadlift 2x15 @ 105 --> 2x12 @ 135, 2x5 @ 155
Vertical Rows: 6 Sets up to 2x4 @ 105
Lat Pulldowns, 5 sets x 10 @ 140, 2 sets x 10 @ 160, 2 sets x 4 @ 180
BB Curls 5 x 4 @ 85
Pec Dec: 15 @ 150, 10 @ 180, 5 @ 205, 3 @ 235, 1 @ 245
Reverse Pec Dec: 5 reps (1 set) @ 135

Likely either mechanical imbalance or subconscious favoring of one side over the other.

totally agree here

dnbaker, you are really going to have to focus on using that left side more and look to use dumbells as much as possible
