 First question is from desert gecko 87 my fiancee noticed that one half of my body is not as developed as the other I have started doing priming and starter exercises along with the starting strength big five lifts What advice would you suggest to correct this imbalance? Are we assuming that this is top-to-bottom and not left-to-right or is this left-to-right and not top-to-bottom? I think it was left-to-right. Okay. Yeah, it's different. It's different for either one. Well. Yeah It's important to make that clear because if you if I'm talking to someone who it's left-to-right I'm gonna give the advice of doing unilateral work. So single arm single leg Starting with the weaker side always first mirroring that on the opposite side, but if it's top-to-bottom I would say reduce the volume on the overdeveloped part portion of your body with it be lower upper and then increase the volume I'll say this so starting strength is probably One of the most sound online Workout programs you'll have you'll see anywhere. It's very basic very simple, but it's effective and it's it's a great Workout program. I have really known not too much negative to say with it aside from at some point No phase out of it and very similar to maps and a ball. Yes, there's a lot of similarities, right with maps and a ball Like here's the problem with it though. If you do have a left-to-right imbalance The starting strength is barbell focused It's it's what's gonna happen is you're probably gonna maintain this imbalance between right and left Especially if it's if it's really apparent like and I see this in athletes. I've trained Rowers where you know, they're on one side of the boat and there's definitely an imbalance between these I've trained pitchers. I've trained, you know And this usually you see this with some types of athletes where there's a very big difference between right and left In that case Adam's a hundred percent. I'm a hundred percent on board use dumbbells Unilateral start with the weak side let the weak side dictate how much weight and reps you do it might feel easy for the stronger side for a While, but this is really the only way to start to balance it out And it'll start to balance itself out takes a little time But it'll start to balance itself out if you stick to barbells you're gonna maintain this imbalance for a long time
