This sucks!!!!!!
My left pec is so much bigger and more filled out than my right pec!
Here's a pic:

Then what I did was:
I chopped off one half of my body, copied the remaining half, and flipped it to have equal pecs on both sides.
I did this with each side of my body.

Look at the difference!

Two left pecs are on the left, and two right pecs are on the right.

How do I even begin to fix this?

I vote you + size your right pec instead of shrinking your left.

Time to hit the pec deck on the right side only for a bit I guess?

I have a similar issue.
I believe it's because my right arm is much stronger, and does the brunt of the work for chest movements, while my left arm is weaker, and the left chest picks up the slack. Basically just work on mind muscle stuff.

I'm learning now that it's probably a postural problem.

I sit on the computer all day and the mouse is kind of far in front of me. This protracts my right shoulder girdle. My right shoulder will round forward a bit, and my right serratus anterior is weaker because of it. Could also be that I play basketball and I'm right handing. Every jumpshot protracts my right shoulder girdle. Over a decade this eventually changes the posture of the shoulder and makes a slight difference.

Since my right shoulder is slightly ahead, when I bench the right pec won't be put under as much as a stretch. But the bar stays level when I bench... that means that my right tricep/delt are having to overcompensate to keep the bar level.

This would mean that my right tricep/delt are bigger than my left.... and they are. It all makes sense.

lmao, honestly, it sounds like you're over analyzing, but I see you're point with sports and everyday movement changing your mechanics.

I know Eric Cressey includes a lot of single arm pressing exercises to replace barbell pressing with his baseball players(Pretty much his entire clientele). And by single arm I mean literally with 1 arm, 1 dumbbell at a time. It's good for some core work too with the anti-rotation going on. I'm not saying you should replace regular barbell/dumbbell pressing completely, but it's something you might wanna include as a supplement for a couple sets.

Yea I might do one-armed flys and unilateral tricep extensions to have my lagging parts catch up.

I did that for my rear delts and it worked awesomely (it's in my log). Don't see why it wouldn't work for my other body parts, except for the pecs, which is probably caused by a postural problem.

how did gary's knee end up on your left pec.

stuff like that is hard to fix, going to need some major consistency in your fixit protocol.
