Uneven Abs?

Odd question. My left side has 3 abs I can feel now (not see, but feel). Distinct 3 different muscles.

My right side? I can *almost* distinguish 1.

Why are they uneven? Is this just a thing? So far as I know I am using both sides evenly when I do my exercise (HIIT and running). Will they even out eventually or? What is going on here?

    Strength wise, probably. But if you have symmetrical abs, you would be one of the few.

    Yup, humans aren't symmetrical. I noticed just this morning there's a marked difference to the right and left side of my waist.

    As I lost weight I discovered that my collarbones don't match. Bodies are weird.

    Same here too. Left a bit fatter generally.

    Genetics yo. I have very pronounced upper abs but no matter how low my body fat is, my lower abs will not show. Just how it is.
