I have always felt... awkward and uneven doing exercises like bench presses, deadlifts, etc... and last night at the gym i FINALLY figure out why... my right arm is actually almost a full inch longer than the left one... its my upper arm, from the elbow to the shoulder. is this detrimental to continuing my lifting progress? is it going to hurt me in the long run as I get up to heavier weights? is there something i should be doing to compensate for it or should i be doing something differently?

    I have one leg longer than the other. But the chiro manipulates me and suddenly, they are the same length! Maybe your back is out a bit and they are actually the same length? Otherwise, I have no idea! Good luck with finding an answer, hopefully the more experienced ones will have ideas. :)
