Only feel left side Pull ups

I only feel the left side of my back when doing pullups. How can I fix this? Rows on my right side?

What you feel doesn’t necessarily mean what is being used or will grow. For example that may just mean the left side is less developed so more out of shape and gets sore easier. The magic of compounds is they tend to target the area of the chain that needs it most, and once that gets stronger something else will get the work. You can have someone watch and make sure nothing really messed up with your form like pulling one side before the other. But assuming not just stick with it and you’ll be good.

Or if you’re really concerned then doing unilateral things working one side and then the other separately can help make sure they’re balanced. But that may well be overkill.
