    I would fathom to guess that your right side is dominant. It is not uncommon for the non-dominant side to be lesser developed, as we don't use it as often. You will need to do some left side specific working out and weight resistance to get more development going.

    I'm new to this site, first time posting so I'm not sure if this is the right area to post this at but I've been doing the Butt Bible for almost a month now, and I've taken progress pictures but in every photo I've noticed that my butt cheeks are two different sizes... The left is smaller than the right! I work them out equally, what could I be doing wrong or is there anything I can do to correct it. Thanks :)

    Not sure what you mean. I think you should post pics so we can all see what you're seeing.

    My butt is worse - I have a crack in it.

    I have a hole in mine.

    It isn't that uncommon. My body is lopsided. More fat gets stored on the right side than the left. This is most noticeable on my chest for me. My right man boob is way bigger than my left man boob. I believe that after losing the weight that I need to lose and strength training with dumbbells evenly on both sides, it will even out after time. At least I hope so...

    Try not to laugh, please? This seriously bothers me, and lowers my self esteem greatly. You can obviously tell there is a difference between both sides. 1018131618_zps276acaf8.jpg (hopefully the picture shows up!)

    Woops I hit the wrong button. It is noticeable if you really look at it, so I see what you're saying. But no need to feel super insecure about it. I'm not sure how to fix it (a lot of the advice the others have given sounds good though) but I am sure this can be easily remedied. Too bad your butt bible doesn't address this issue :/

    I'm not going to lie, I was going to laugh, but now I've seen it I can see what you mean. The only explanation I can think of is that you must somehow be working one side more than the other. I've seen it before but to be fair only with arms and not that noticeable. Perhaps you should visit your doctor? Or maybe even a personal trainer if it does turn out to be exercise related.

    Maybe you should try focusing on your left side more for a while and see if it helps? If that doesn't work, check with your doctor.

    Everyone is assymetrical. If you want to feel hideous, do one of those things where you compare the two sides of your face.

    The good thing is that RARELY will you be standing straight on with someone examining your butt. I mean, I don't know the details of your life, but probably not. If you are moving or to the side at all, no one will ever notice. You have been doing butt bible, so you're hyper-aware of the booty right now.

    I'm guessing it's just a dominant-side thing as well, but it's really not a big deal.

    It doesn't look like anything to be worried about to me. I'm sure no one notices it but you.


    (And all of the people on the internet who you just pointed it out to. )

    Did you ever have back problems or some sort of accident?

    People who have problems in a specific quadrant of their back often stand differently than a healthy person and can end up with stuff like this.

    But my common sense guess would be that you have probably always been standing, walking, running, working out in such a way that one side is always favored and no one even notices the issue except for you :)

    I've lost weight but my "saddlebags"--though they are not huge, the left is definitely bigger on the left. I think it's because I'm right side dominant. It's smaller and not as noticeable.

    Hi all,

    I'm new as well and haven't met any friends yet, I thought this would be a great icebreaker rather awkward but great. I actually have the same problem and I noticed it when I was young about 8, someone brought it to my attention. Since I have gained weight no one notices it but me. If I was your BFF I would tell you to embrace your perfect imperfections, but the twerking idea may help, I'll take notes as well.

    I tore my PCL a few years back and my muscles atrophied a lot on my left leg/butt. My right cheek is still bigger than my left as a result.....I can definitely notice while doing squats since there is a mirror in front of the squat rack. It's annoying, but people don't really notice as far as I know. I pointed it out to my boyfriend while we were in the gym and he thought it was funny.

    I will admit that I noticed a little bit after staring. However, I would not have noticed if you had not pointed it out to me and I had not been looking for it. I wouldn't stress over it.

    I dare say that any guy (or gal I guess) who's behind you, is not going ' OMYGAWWD!!! she's LOPSIDED!
    :blushing: I don't see any more asymmetry than isn't completely normal. :ohwell:
    Hope that makes sense :laugh:

    It almost looks like you're leaning a little, too... like, one's almost clenched, one isn't. I wouldn't get all butthurt over it.

    Yep I just saw the leaning/clenching. Not so much a wonky bum :noway:

    I'm the same as a couple of other posters I've got slightly more muffin top to the right than the left. We come in a many varied shape & form I guess :smile:

    Take another picture with your other arm and compare them?

    What did the left butt cheek say to the right butt cheek when he said he could squat more? NOT EVEN!

    I'd probably just work one side heavier, yeah. A physical therapist would be great to see for an exam and their recommendation.

    On the unevenness front, I have one leg over an inch shorter than the other, and it's not noticeable (ever) to folks except doctors.

    I have two heights, lol :D

    What I didn't know that the PT told me was that one side of my pelvis is smaller than the other, too. Huh. I'm supposed to sit on a folded blanket on one side when I sit a lot, and she of course had recommendations about the leg length thing. PTs are pretty darned cool, and they don't always need referrals so you can go without seeing your doc first at a lot of places.

    My butt cheeks are even, oddly enough since my pelvis is two sizes. I have no idea how that worked out.

    When you look in a mirror and stand 'square' are your shoulders level? If shoulders aren't level, you could need straightening out....(by chiropractor)
