What can I do if the muscles on my left side are more developed than my right side, and my right arm is dominant, resulting in a significant difference in weight lifting?
The gym is my lab, and my experimentation has shown me that I have an imbalance in my arms and shoulders (left versus right). By slowing down and being intentional with how I prepare for arm and chest exercises, I’ve discovered that my left pec and bicep are about 10-15% tighter than my right side. By concentrating on keeping the weight balanced, I was able to reduce my shoulder pain a little. This is just part of the solution, but I think I am on the way to healing my movement imbalances that have plagued my engagement with upper body exercises. How can I further address these imbalances to continue my progress?
