[Bench_All_Day]

Currently I am using a HIT program and when i flat bench press for the last two week it feels that my lest pec is being more stimulated than my right pec. It is actually getting frustrating. Has this ever happened to anyone and does anyone know how this can be fixed.
Thanks

It's probably due to a weakened left shoulder or potentially tricep or biceps.
If it's a general strength difference then switch to DB's until both pec's feel equally stimulated.

And if you are ego driven like me (unfortunately) Iwould do regular barbell press and then go to dumbells and do unilateral presses. Or just doing dumbelss would be good as well, either way with that type of problem dumbells are the way to go!!!

thanks with the help...but i forgot to say that i train at home and do not have dumbells...i am also to young to join a gym

i am also to young to join a gym

Huh?!

i train at home and do not have dumbells

I believe they are really expensive. Could spend a good $20, or pick them up out of a second hand or swap meet paper.

Well HIT will do that to you! Aside from the using dumbbells, look at your setup and form. Actually make sure the bar is level as you raise and lower it, that your grip is even and theat you don't translate the bar sideways.

I don't really know what being too young to join a gym means but, if you are younger than 18 (that's just guess b/c i've never heard of being too young to join a gym) then HIT probably isn't the best idea since you are somewhat of a beginner. Switch to ligther weights and make sure your form is 100%. Then, if you still want to do HIT your form still needs to be 100%. I think HIT is stupid but thats just my opinion but it sounds like something is going on with your form.

yea im only 14 and thanks with the help

yea im only 14

Like Diesel said, learn to do the moves properly. Get a balanced program going, and work on getting your form right. Then start worrying about development and strength.

What kind of program do you want? More powerlifting oriented or bodybuilding? Also, what kind of routine? Upper/lower, split, full body, push/pull? What are your weakpoints/what do you want to concentrate on most? How much time per day/days a week do you have to train? How long are you sore after working out? How long have you been training? How is your diet? Do you take any supplements?

I feel these are all important to answer before deciding on a routine. Post back and I'll see what I can do.

well i want a more bodybuilding program with either a split of push/pull workout program. My weakpoint is my legs andI would like to have a bigger chest. At most im sore for a 2 dats after working out but when i deadlift and squat it can take longer, more like 3 days. I have been training seriously for about 4 months

I'm not too good with push/pull (better at the others), but I can still try if you want. I recommend getting a routine from Rocky. I believed he just finished or is still doing a push/pull/legs workout, and he's improved his chest a bit.

If your legs are a weakness then you need to train legs more than once a week. Hell if anyone is serious about having a decent training program they should be hitting muscles twice a week.

Recovery is relative to trained level of recovery. If you feel you can't recover quickly from legs then you are likely to not have trained so as to be able to recover, which will impede general growth due to the importance of legs.

Try an upper/lower workout hitting muscles twice a week. Don't just repeat two workouts, you must cover different aspects of muscle groups (e.g. squats and front squats place a different emphasis on the body's muscles).
