I have nearly the same issue, only depending on the workout I'm able to lift more with my left (non dominant) than my right. Weighted lunges really helped me equal my strength out and with strength comes size (to a degree). Also incorporating movements such as singe leg, leg raises and curls will not only equal out your strength but size as well. Also there are two ways to do weighted lunges, you can do either dumbbell, or barbell. I prefer barbell due to the fact that it makes you keep your back straight, focus on using just your legs to lift yourself back up, and it places the directly above you whereas with dumbells you may slightly lean to each side. Focusing on form more than weight is the key most of all.

Have you ever had an injury to your right foot or ankle? Anything that would cause you to favor that leg will cause the muscle to atrophy.
Edit, my right calf is lagging behind because of a broken ankle and surgery 8 years ago.

And you skip legs
You'd be proud Albert, I've done legs twice a week for 3 months now.
Nope never any lower body injuries thank god. Have 4 herniated discs in low back...2 are fukin horrible. Left should was fixed arthroscopicly 10 years ago.
So I did squats, bench, seated rows as barbell upright rows torque my back so bad I can hardly move after I do em. Then did some barbell lunges.
But I had the wife video my squats side, front and back. Any of you wizards know if I can post em on here from my phone or do I need a hosting site or youtube?
All this leg talk... And I clicked on the thread to ask about how to help build my legs some more.. Squats aren't really in the cards anymore as my back won't tolerate it much.. Oh and I get about 30 min a day.. I've been trying to do 3 sets or 15 squats every night more or less to keep my hips loosened up.
First,im no body builder but I lifted in highschool and played sports. I had a bad accident years ago and have disc issues that have required shots and I lost some range of motion. I joined the gym a little over 2 months ago,and my range of motion has increased,my squats and deadlifts are up. I do cardio to warm up on leg days and I started with very little weight and worked on my form. Now I'm squatting 200-250 comfortable,and deadlifting 275-325 comfortable. I just listen to my back,and all of my body now. I do physical work at times for a living so some days in the gym suck,but I feel good when I'm done. All I can say is form,form,form. Screw the weight,get your form first and the weight will increase. Good luck,we should all support each other on this thread.
:happy2:Oh I am:hug:
Try this Corbin. It has put a lot of size on my legs without having to squat so much.
Squat what you can to keep your mobility, but don't aggravate your back
Legpress
4-5 sets of 20 reps as heavy as you can.
Single leg extensions
4-5 sets of 20 reps lighter weight, make it burn.
Standing in place barbell lunges
3-4 sets of 10 reps each leg.
If you jump on the sauce
I'm to poor to think of the sauce

Lots of red meat and vitamins. No need for dem cheatin' drugs
I've made it this far without them... Although the whole not getting sore thing would be cool for leg day haha
You'll get used to it... Or those little match sticks your walking around on will break off
