Does everyone have one side of your abdominals stronger than the other?

I can’t seem to gain strength in the other side either. Does anyone else have this problem?
What can I do? Not do exercises on the other side for a bit??

I’m pretty sure that isn’t the case for everyone, especially fitness junkies who try to keep themselves symmetrical.
Well my right side hernia is more severe than my left side hernia, so I suppose what you are talking about has some relevance.
@evelyns_pet_zebra mine’s right in the middle..what does that mean?! hehe
I’m sure everyone has a stronger side, we may not notice it though. Even though I know I’m stronger on my right side, my left side may be stronger because it has to make up for all the work the right side is doing (example: I always hold my son on my right hip, strengthening my right arm, shoulder, pec muscle..) but that doesn’t mean it makes the right side stronger. I don’t know, this is just me babbling.
Incorporate abdominal exercises that include trunk rotation into your routine. I prefer bicycles and the cross over crunch. Also, a personal trainer can help you do exercises correctly.
