I'm working on fixing all of the muscle imbalances I have. left calf 17.5", right calf 15" left thigh 21", right thigh 20/3/4" left bicep 12", right bicep 11.5" and my left glute looks to be about an inch or so bigger than the right. I'm so frustrated and angry. I started doing unilateral and all dumbbell exercises, except I still deadlift and I'm going to have to continue to do those for the next 3-6 mos until these imbalances get corrected. Even though the bicep is bigger on the left, my right arm is stronger, because I'm right handed. My left leg is stronger than the right and when I do glute exercises the left glute is more sore than the right. I hate this so bad.

Thank y'all, I appreciate it. I'm not sure what caused the imbalances. I wish I knew, but I'm working to correct them.

Well you look great and I can't imagine anyone knowing. I only measure one side so I am probably lopsided. haha. If I never measure both sides, I'll never know or have to worry about it. Unless you are going into competition or something, I don't think it's cause for alarm. Your arms look fabulous... Muscular and toned!

Imbalances are normal. We favor both our arms and legs. If you're right handed your right arm will be bigger, same idea goes for legs. Normal doesn't mean that they can't be fixed through focused exercises on those areas.

Have you tried these two types of calve exercises? doing elevated calve raises using a yoga block (place your heels on the yoga block and perform squats)and just weighted or non-weight calve raises? Also try staggered deadlifts no weight on the right side. For your arms uneven Arnold press lighter weight on the right. Hope this helps. You have progressed so well keep flexing 💪🏼

Hi PinayRN, I do seated calf raises and standing calf raises with the barbell. Last week I started to do them single instead of together

The differences don’t show, fwiw. I saw your recent post of measurements and you’ve done a great job of balancing the two sides! Honestly, though, visually they appear matched in these photos and I would say focus on keeping them balanced functionally, which your unilateral training can help with. Most of us have a dominant leg we put most of our weight on when standing still; might be worth paying attention to if this is still a concern for you. You already appear balanced, though.
