Hi, so I´m Guillermo, 19 years old, 1.82m tall, I weight around 65kg, not too sure about my body fat but I´d give me asolid 12% ish, and I´m aiming for muscle and mass gains. However, I´m stuck with a chest issue and I don´t know whether I should focus on fixing it before starting off with a plan (for now I´ve just been exercising by my own means, like seeing exercises on yt and incorporating them into my workouts). I´ll attach some pictures so my chest is easier to judge.

So I have some noticeable chest imbalance. My right side is the dominant one and so my right pectoral muscle is noticeably bigger, and stronger, than my left one. It's been like this for a while and I can't seem to fix it. I've watched your video on chest imbalance, the one in which you talked about starting your chest workout with an isolated dumbbell press I think, and I do what you said, but I don't think it's enough. It's just the pectoral however, the rest of my muscles seem about equal in strength, size, and performance (back, forearm, bicep, triceps) but maybe I'm wrong. I'll send you some pictures so you can assess yourself and can also clearly see the issue. Finally, I always try and aim for quality during my sets and exercises, and I try to focus on my mind-muscle connection and my range of motion as much as I can (as you'll see I'm not the biggest guy so I don't really go for super heavy weights). So Scott, if you could recommend me some isolation or compound or any exercise to fix this (dumbbell ex, bar ex resistance band ex, whichever) you would absolutely make my year. Haha don't wanna be looking like I forgot how to use my left side! Anyways, hope you read this and greetings from Spain!

Also, I want to start one of your workout plans to put on more needed mass and muscle, so which one would you recommend me following?

Thank, you!

I already submitted an informative post but for some odd reason it didn't submit. So to avoid retyping it all, I'll be brief.

If you're using a barbell to do your chest press I would recommended switching to dumbbells. Also if chest press isn't the first exercise you do on Push/chest day, make it the first.

Example of Push day(DB=Dumbbell) DB chest press, DB Shoulder press, Dips, DB bent over delt raise, cable rope triceps extension, DB chest flys.

Stay away from barbell exercises for a while and Imbalances will fix theirselves over time just keep at it.

Hey Guillermo! You got some good advice from Brett!

Dumbbells are going to be your best friend for correcting an imbalance, and with your chest, doing some iso-lateral training will help (training one arm at a time, kind of like you would a single-arm dumbbell row for your back). So do a single-arm dumbbell bench press - start with your left side. Let that weaker side choose the weight you can handle for your rep range (probably 8-10 for muscle gain), and then match it with your right side.

Even if the right side could do more weight and/or more reps, DON'T do it. Just do the same weight and same reps as you did with your weaker left arm, and let it catch up. As long as you are still working the right side, it won't lose mass.

Also you could try some single-arm cable presses as well, just so that you have another iso-lateral movement to help with your imbalance.

Hope that helps! And as for a program to use, Cheat & Recover will give you INSAIYAN muscle gains, so give that a try! Greetings to you in Spain my bro 😊 https://muscularstrength.com/cheat-and-recover
