Is one side of your body larger than the other? Do you know why?

huh it is interesting. I know that our one side of the arms and legs maybe stronger or bigger than the other side because we use one of the sides more usually like if you are right handed, you use you tend to pick up stuff by your right arm more, so it is stronger.

Hahaha..I know what you mean Karen. My friend claims that her left leg is slightly longer than the right and we keep pulling her telling that we pull her left leg all the time. But it could be true. My left fore arm is fatter than the right one. Every time i wear a fitting dress I could feel the difference. Initially i used to give benefit of doubt to myself but every time the tailor couldn't go wrong, could he?

ne side of my body is slightly bigger than the other also. Actually it is on my right side which this difference in size manifest itself. I have no idea why this so but somehow I seem to vaguely remember being given some sort of explanation for this.

I'm left handed & my left arm in general is more developed than my right & also my legs as well. I'm don't know if that's why but it might have something to do with it. Depends on which handed you are, that side of the body tends to get more work out because you lean towards it more. I'm no doctor so I have no clue if this is true but in my case, I do use left side of my body a lot more than my right & over the years, when I get out of the shower or go to the beach & get in to my swiming shorts, I have noticed I'm little lopsided. May be it's just me.

The ring size is definitely different on one hand and I have noticed that my hair grows more (longer and thicker) on one side than on the other.

...hmm..i had this issue when i was going through puberty....when i used to get fitted for shoes, my left foot was almost a half size smaller than my right...but then i grew up and evened out alright...iono why this phenomenon exists though...must have to do with our growth hormones or something...haha...i'm no doctor [x

Yes, most people are not perfectly symmetrical. My left foot is slightly wider than my right foot, and one of my ears is a little higher than the other. I guess DaVinci's model of the symmetrical man is just a little off.

Sort of. But I don't know why. I know a lot of people are not totally phisically symmetrical. Sorry I can't help you.

are you a left handed or a right handed ? if you're a right handed, then it is reasonable if your right hand and foot are slightly larger than the left. because you are using it more than the left side. when you eat you're using right hand, when you write you're using right hand, or when you lift something you're using more power on your right hand, something like that..and that makes you muscles working too, it's more powerful than the left hand. try to realize it in every move or step you make, and you will notice if it is possible. but what if one of our boobs is smaller than the other ? lol that's what i still don't know why, although lots of doctors says it is normal..

No. I don't think one side of my body is larger, although I don't know how I'd weight one side of my body. If you can give me tips on weighting one side of my body then I'll be able to accurately answer the question.

Hello my friend PeacefulWmn9 Ji, I would like to bring out some thing very much interesting to respond your discussion from the web as follows :- http://www.articlesbase.com/muscle-building-articles/when-one-side-of-a-muscle-group -is-smaller-than-the-other-how-to-train-to-fix-it-588849.html [b]"When One Side Of a Muscle Group Is Smaller Than The Other - How To Train to Fix It Posted: Oct 3rd, 2008 | Everybody's got them. Sometimes you notice them, sometimes you don't. But there is nothing strange about having one side smaller or less developed than the other! It can happen for a variety of reasons, including genetics, reduced circulation or innervation (which is basically the amount of nerves going to the muscle) to the smaller muscle, previous injuries, or even small anatomical differences. If you've got a significant size or strength difference between sides, this information is for you. The following techniques will help you to even out those lagging bodyparts once and for all! These techniques can be incorporated into your regular workouts very easily, allowing you to quickly bring up those smaller, less-developed bodyparts. Several of the techniques work by increasing training volume, some work by increasing resistance, while others work by targeting the specific physiological causes of the difference (circulation and innervation). 1. "One and Two and One" Reps This is a dumbell technique that increases the training volume for the smaller muscle. For this technique, you'll use the same dumbells in both hands. Start with one rep with the one arm of the smaller part. For example, if you're doing curls, do one dumbell curl with your left arm. Now do a single rep with BOTH arms (right and left) at the same time. Immediately do another rep with the smaller arm again. Your smaller bodypart will end up getting 50% more work than the larger side. 2. "One and Two and One" Sets This approach is very similar to the rep technique explained above. This time, however , you will do one set of an exercise for just that single side, rest, then do a set that works both sides. Then you'll go back and do a set with just the smaller side again. This will also increase the "smaller-side" workload by about 50%. This approach also utilizes dumbells rather than barbells in order to allow for single -limb movements. This "staggered set" approach is more effective for leg exercises than the "staggered rep" technique explained above simply because it's tough to find an exercise that you can do the "rep" technique effectively with. For legs, you will follow the exact same routine, doing a single-leg set, then a double-leg set, then a single leg set..."[/b] May god bless You and have a great time.

Hi.., you have a nice topic of discussion, I don't know exactly why part of our body is larger then the other and most of them is couple of body.., likes my right arm is larger then my left one, I thought maybe it's because my right arm is more active then the left and my right foot is larger then the left one too...lol, it seems my part of body that larger then the other is the same with you. you're not alone girl...lol

My left foot is thinner than the right one,I think the reason is that my left foot was injured years ago. As I see it ,apart from body injury,DNA may become another reason.

I think it's only the foot...don't know of another

are you a left handed or a right handed ? if you're a right handed, then it is reasonable if your right hand and foot are slightly larger than the left. because you are using it more than the left side. when you eat you're using right hand, when you write you're using right hand, or when you lift something you're using more power on your right hand, something like that..and that makes you muscles working too, it's more powerful than the left hand. try to realize it in every move or step you make, and you will notice if it is possible. but what if one of our boobs is smaller than the other ? lol that's what i still don't know why, although lots of doctors says it is normal..
