Understanding your body's unique structure can help address potential aches or injuries effectively.In this clip

If someone has a muscle imbalance between their left and right arms, what is the best training to follow?
I have a visible imbalance in my leg muscles (more muscle in the left side), and to a shorter extent in my arm muscles (a little more muscle in the left side). It makes sense because I am a lefty. Is it a good approach to make more reps with the weaker leg and arms? And for the shoulders, back, and other parts of my body, should I just do the same reps?
