I'm 26 yrs old and about 130 pounds. I have not done any heavy working out, but over the past few months I have done push ups to build up my chest a bit and it has worked. I used to have nothing there and now I actually have pecs. The problem is that my left pec is fuller than my right pec. What can I do to even them out? It seems that even why I try to put pressure on the right, I still feel it more on the left. Please help!

Use dumbells for exercises if you are doing weight training, which I suggest that you do. It forces you to use your muscles equally on the right and left side.
stop doing push ups and do dumbell curls, use heavier ones on the right or lighter on the left

don't be stupid, and curls do arms by the way, not chest....
I have the same problems, my right is smaller then my left, but i cant do dumbell because my right shoulder is more toned then my left. I heard if you just do rep on bench then it'll even itself out. is it true?
Not necessarily, your stronger half can do most of the pushing on a bench press, I would say to do dumbell presses until they are about even.
I don't have any dumbells, but what exactly is the advice on evening out my pecs? Should I work the right one until it matches the left and then start working them out together or what?
Also, how can I avoid my nipples from turning down as my chest gets built up? Is it just and invididual thing?

The answer is in my last post

Its down to genetics.

I saw your answer. What I'm asking is if starting to work with two dumbells is going to even out my pecs or do I need to work the smaller one until it catches up and then work both?

As stated above use dumbells. This will ensure that both sides of the muscle are working the same.
Never work just one side of your body. Muscle imballences come from one side of your body being stronger then the other side, not bigger.
dude, go to walmart and get an adjustable dumbell set. two dumbells and your choice of up to like 50 pounds for about 25 bucks.
try some 1 hand push ups on the smaller side
Randy's suggestion will work because Free weight(adjustable dumbells) lead to even muscle build and also help work out your stabilizer muscles. However mucleboywannabe's idea also sounds very good and i want you to try that and tell me how it goes, because i am a curious one, and who better than you to test his method out?
