Ooo..thanks a lot..
oh ya..btw..i know that we cant be 100% symmetrical..
and i always read that if we have lets say a tiny muscle imbalances or not symmetrical,
we just keep lifting and when it grows big enough it will even out..
is that true??

Im not sure about that. My left biceps is bigger than my right biceps because i think its because im a left hander. Is that the reason?

Your handedness is due to your brains recruiting more fibers from it's stronger section than from its weaker section. Thus the increase in size from the stronger side. Unilateral work after bilateral work can help to eliminate this issue. It's very important that unilateral work be included because as a section becomes stronger, the stronger area has to overcompensate the weak muscular structure. This can cause injuries, technical disadvantages, a stupid looking body and other predicaments.
