Is there anything I can do to even out my lats. My right one is larger than my left. I am currently doing the following for 3 sets of 10-8-6:

-wide grip pull ups
-dead lift
-bent-over t bar rows
-lat pull downs

Have other people told you they are uneven or is it just based on what you see in the mirror.

How badly is it.. You can do more dbell rows to place more emphasis on that lat in general. Keep working the body as a whole but use more isolated movements on your weak side lats.

If you work the lats with the same weight, but use dumbbells, then the lacking lat will come up to match the other one in time.

Many people confuse the Serratus Anterior and the Lats. Where do you feel is unevenness? The Serratus is close to the arm pits, in case you were wondering.

Focus on your Lat Pull downs and your Chins. Make sure you are distributing the weight you're pulling evenly.

You could also focus on the lagging lat if necessary.

serratis connects your lat and oblique. I don't think its near your armpit. Serratis is also a very small muscle. It is what gives you the look of fingers next to your abs in a front double bi shot.

The two muscles that run down the spine on the lower back are incredibly uneven on me (spinal erectors?).

It hurts my souls :(
