Right side of my body weaker than left side...

When I lift, my right arm, shoulder, peck always gives in before my left. I have moved from the smith machine over to dumbbells for bench and incline press for greater isolation. I always feel like I can do 2-3 more reps on my left side once my right side hits failure. Heck, even my left leg is stronger when doing squats.
Any suggestions on how to increase strength on right side to bring it in par with left? Just more isolated reps on my right? Not sure what else I can do.

Sounds like your left handed

"Sounds like your left handed"
Actually I'm right handed but was probably supposed to left handed. My left arm is bigger and stronger. I'm left eye dominant.

Go to failure on your right arm and then whatever that number is, only go to that number on your left. Eventually they will get to the same point and then you can train both equally to failure.
ETA: I'm sure there are other ways that work too, that is just a really simple one that is easy to follow that doesn't really change up your routine much.

Did this occur out of the blue, or is it consistent?
So, you're not doing proper squats? Chill with the isolation stuff (Bulgarian split squats, Smith machine, etc.) and just move a barbell the old school way for a few weeks.

Check for spine curvature (scoliosis). I have this and I’m definitely “stronger” on right side.

Yes I do believe I have slight curvature of spine. A disc issue on right side above my hip I’m trying to protect. This doesn’t explain lack of symmetry between my pecs and arms. When I look in mirror, my left pec, arm and shoulder look a bit larger than right side. Not out of the blue. This has been consistent. I guess I’m just a mutant.

Thoracic outlet syndrome
There’s a surgery to fix it.

You have a great name, and I love Snatch. But you should stop all efforts on giving people health advise.
Thoracic Outlet Syndrome is actually difficult to diagnose. But one of the main things that happens is neurological, And with this particular syndrome you will get neurological deficits (tingling, numbness, etc...). None of that was reported.
Most likely, he's left handed and was pushed into right handed behaviors. Second most likely answer, he has had a right side injury in the past.
I hope this helps.

Thanks, cock.
If OP doesn’t know what hand he/she is, they have more issues than your google answers.

I'm sorry dude. I was drinking bourbon with the boys last night and posted this. Not an excuse, but I was very condescending and rude. Not my usual M.O.
I'm not going to change or edit my previous post, I own up to my mistakes.
I'll try to not let that happen again.

This is literally last thing I’d ever expect to read after logging into TD. Humility for something not needed to think twice about.
All good, Cock. I’m still gonna call you cock.
Cheers!
