Default Left pec smaller than right one

I know that all guys will not have the exact same size pecs. My left
pec is considerably smaller(not as wide) as my right pec. However, i
have tried to do pulley pec exercises and using dumbells with the left
hand at heavier weights(at least 10lbs more) than right hand
dumbells. I have been doing this for a couple of months now. It
doesn't seem to build up my left pec as much to catch up with my right
pec. I do think my right pec has a bigger chest bone than the left or
maybe protrudes more which is probably what i was born with anyway. Is
there a good specific chest workout to at least make the size
descrepancy less noticeable? I have added some pics below. Thanks a
bunch!

Don't worry about it. Most all living things have some form of
asymmetry.

Consider the poor Fiddler crab!

Seriously, even Arnold had one biceps peak that was more pronounced
than the other, Cutler is stated to have some serious asymmetry
(although I don't see it), and there was Ronnie's back in 2006, too.

keep lifting.

So should i use even heavier weights on my left dumbdells to try to
get my left pec to almost same size as right? or just use even weights
for both sides? Thanks again.

It's honestly not that noticeable, imo. Fwiw, I'd recommend you simply
use even weights for both sides.

You forgot to mention that reading the '7 Deadly Sins of Rotator Cuff"
fitness would not help him AT ALL.

Excuse me, but all I see is a single quote mark followed by a double
and it's really taking away from my focus. What did you say? Wait!
Hold that thought. I'm in the middle of memorizing the text from this
rotator cuff book I'm reading.

Actually, I'm finishing up Pride, the story of Jim Ellis and his inner-
city swim team. Inspiring, touch, fun.

Fwiw, what would help the OP at all would be to just keep on keepin'
on with his current weight program and more than likely some attention
to lowering his %BF as he's got a similar hip structure to yours truly
- the wide hip bones that make ya look the diametric opposite of a
Steve Reeves-type or X-frame bodybuilder.

Such is life and, yes, there are far worse things.
