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 for both sides?
I have Maps Prime Pro and was thinking of using it to work on my shoulder stability and mobility, but I’m wondering if there’s another program I should consider running before jumping into Maps Strong to prevent any potential injuries or further complications. Would Maps Symmetry be a better option right now, or should I stick with Maps Strong and focus on shoulder work through Prime Pro?
For my upper body, what do you recommend? Since my arm is so weak, I am planning on using light weights and bands in conjunction with BFR bands (occasionally). Should I just be matching my strong arm with my weaker arm, or can I keep lifting heavier with my strong arm and let my weak arm catch up?
