I'm kind of new to all this, and am not sure what is the best way to go about balancing the difference in size between chest sides. One side (pec) is a bit larger than the other.
I have been told that doing push ups will balance it out, other people have said to add weight, and/or work the smaller side harder/longer than the other. But then some folks have said if you work the other side harder, or with more weight you can cause another imbalance??
I go to the gym every other day, I warm up on a precor machine for about 5-8 minutes, then go in and do a varied routine in the weightroom,( bench press, barbell flys, cable crosses, cybex machines, and of course sit-ups!) for about 30-40 minutes, finally back to a precor (eliptical) to do cardio for 20-25 minutes.
I am trying to figure out the best way to balance this out, and to get myself in decent shape.
I was in the hospital for a while, and now I am cleared to exercise! (yea!) So I really am trying to get in the best shape I can, but need a bit of help with this.
Any info/input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Swanso.... at the gym I go to there is a chest press machine where each arm is seperate and you put plates on each side. Would that work also? Patrick asked a good question. Im actually in a similar situation. I had a collapsed lung on left side and it is not a strong as right. You can even see that the one side is a little smaller. (the machine may be called a plate loaded press. Not sure. Its on a little bit of an incline.
