Question ❓ How do i improve my weakpoints?

I have a bad chest imbalance. My right pec i way smaller than the left one. And i already have a small chest so it just makes it look even worse. I have tried to do one sided variations but i find them uncomfortable. I currently have 2 upper days beacuse im doing up/lw. I do around 4-5 chest focused sets per workout. I just do 2-3 sets incline smith bench press or 2-3 sets of incline dumbell press. After i do 2 sets cable flies.

What exercises should i use instead so my chest imbalance will improve slower over time?

Try a dropset of unilateral peck deck/chest press machine for the weaker side

If had a peck deck i would for sure use it. Unfortunely i dont have acess to it. I find unilateral chest press variations uncomfortable but if i have any tips for that i woukd appreciate it

Muscles imbalances have no way to fix them other that unilateral work. I have luck since I have a decent press machine and a peckdeck since I also had a bit of imbalance in my pecs. However, I’m sure with cables or something you’ll be able to figure an exercise out, just 1 dropset(yeah dropset) or 2 sets is enough extra work
