[@K.Adler1120]

I’m so angry that no matter how hard I push it’s like my left arm muscles gives up midway through a bicep curl, and I just can’t make it budge. But there’s not pain or feeling of strain. It feels more like there’s no muscle there at all

[@bvmbe]

Lower the amount of weight you're lifting the feeling of no muscle means it is not as stronger as you're other arm and you need to go down a weight or couple on you're other arm and work on it a lot so it can get up to you're other arm

[@alexkeightley1]

It could be the nerve isn't firing/connecting properly. I don't know a huge amount about this kind of stuff but after a physio visit and some dry needling I've been able to use muscles that just gave up before. Nerves may be getting trapped and unable to send signals properly. It's been a game change for me. I think you should look in to it.

I'm now "suffering" from that actually. I'm working towards two reps of one arm pull up and my left arm is a bit weaker (mainly because of the injuries I had there, I believe) and I'm trying to compensate it in training - basically doing the one that you said, starting with the weaker side, it's working quite good I think!

Dear people concerned of knee health: you don't have to drive your knees that far when doing one leg squats. Just put your back leg(the support one) elevated and with the leg that you want to work bend your knee by going down with your body and come back up by straightening your leg. Keep your sheen pretty vertical and you will be okey.

[@tc-3]

My preferred method is starting with my weaker side and using the same weight and number of reps with my stronger side. That way I don't have a feeling my training is ''disproportionate'' even though I'm aware I'm not going to progress with my stronger side. I still feel it's safer to wait for weaker side to catch up than to try and force reps or weight with weaker side, which usually results in compromised form. My biggest problem is inability to equally activate both sides when doing bilateral exercises, especially squats and rows. When doing split squats or one arm rows, I am able to perform roughly the same amount of reps with a given weight, but when I perform squats I feel like my hips are shifting to one side and I have to consciously engage the other side to a greater extent. I think my problem with rowing movements stems from the inability to properly activate lower trap on my right (weaker side). However, my right shoulder is much more stable when pressing unilaterally as opposed to my left. In short, muscle imbalances are weird and frustrating.

My right arm is the dominant one and every time I do a workout my left arm never feels like it's burned out. I work it until I can't do anything anymore but it never feels like it got a workout, it's just tired for a few minutes. Like no matter what I do my right arm always gets the workout right and I can feel that workout pain in it but never in my left. it is the main reason why I give up on working out because I feel like it won't change. (And yes I tried to go with lighter weights for my left arm but it's just the same story)

[@sarahb8147]

THANK YOU for this video. I have scoliosis and am recently realizing how severe the differential is between the two sides. It’s not a couple of reps, it is at least a full set of difference. After learning that muscle tightness is related to muscle weakness everything is making sense and I have never felt better. This video made the way forward clear for now and gave me hope that one day I may have significantly reduced pain and tightness.

[@jeepjeep1208]

Great topic. This is something ive needed to work on.. for aesthetic purposes.. having one leg noticeably larger than the other. It comes from job related repetitions.

[@MaddieFishblob]

3:30 and what’s funny is that if one side is more flexible than the other, it’s often better to start with the _better_ side first 😆 like with back stretching - doing a scorpion with my stronger side first helps wake up and pre-stretch back muscles, so that when I do the weaker side I can push it further to get a deeper stretch and hopefully keep up with the strong side

[@babycakez4u2nv]

I love this video. I think I have a significant imbalance, I have muscle when I flex with my right arm and I barely have muscle when I flex with my left. My personal trainer told me the same exact thing you said about doing unilateral exercises, starting with the weak side, and pretty much everything you have said. I have been noticing a slight difference in my left arm strength. I need to stay consistent because I probably can see more results if I stay consistent through the week. I am right side dependent for everything I do and I subconsciously do it, it's how I'm programmed. now I have to work harder to consciously be mindful to use my left side more to balance out this issue and it's not as easy as it sounds when starting off, but it will get easier when the habit is formed.

Simple: keep doing the exact same weight lifting using the EXACT same weight. That way, your dominant arm will get so used to it that it won't be challenged. But your non-dominant arm will keep building up, to the point where it becomes equally as big and strong as your dominant arm.
