Fixing that dreaded lat spread

[Ripgut]

Ok what I’m talking about here is when one side of the lat is not as wide or full as the other side. Like it’s all tight and stiff and will not spread out. I’ve seen it on plenty of pros and fellas here on the forum. I have it as well on my dominate side. In my case the right. Is it fixable or are you just fucked?

Exhibit A

 

[Dirtnasty]

Matt spreads are hard to
Do but I can’t see difference

 

[John]

Looks pretty symmetrical to me @Ripgut

 

[Ripgut]

Well shit… Exhibit B

 

[Kad1]

There is always going to be some amount of asymmetry in body parts. You could try more unilateral work and or a few extra sets per week on the weaker side

 

[Dirtnasty]

I assume
Left is bigger it’s hard to tell with short on

 

[Poppy]

Agree with everything said above. You look great.

If there’s a difference then it’s negligible…to me anyways.

 

[Mossy1985]

My left lat is a little bigger too. I think it’s from what @Dirtnasty was saying a while back about holding underwear down and rubbing one out.

 

[Ripgut]

I’m thinking it goes with flexibility too because I can wipe my ass all day with my right hand but when I use my left I can barely graze a butt cheek…

 

[Poppy]

I think growing some back and shoulder hair/fur will help…

We got room in the club.

 

[Ripgut]

Shit I got plenty

 

[Poppy]

All bs aside… you’re a big guy and unless you plan on starving yourself and putting on posing trunks and stepping on stage…… any small imperfections are non-consequential.

Posing is a skill set onto itself. I’m thinking those dudes spend hours and hours practicing it.

 

[Ripgut]

I don’t know about stepping on stage. But pushing it to the next level definitely…

 

[Poppy]

Not being a smarty pants at all but what’s the next level from a meathead (like most of us) unless it’s the stage or platform?

Just asking not needling you.

 

[Poppy]

For the record… I do get the mindset of being the best you/me that you/I can be.

 

[Ripgut]

Needling…… Just to be a big mother fucker… I think I’ll have hit my mark when I can walk down the store and you get at least 20 people turning their head and saying damn that’s a big mother fucker

 

[Ripgut]

Now do I need the attention no not necessarily but I know my work’s paid off if I’m getting that type of response

 

[Poppy]

I get all that

 

[Ripgut]

There’s your hair dammit…
