 Next question is from furtato no insta. How much muscle imbalance is normal? Well, if normal if you mean what is common a lot a Lot of muscle imbalances common if you mean what is I guess ideal, you know, this is different From person to person. I would say you want to be you want to have a good quality of life And you don't want to have muscle imbalances that cause Any dysfunction or pain so you want to be able to move in your daily life do Normal things play with your kids do your workouts and not have any joint pain or problems one of the easiest ways by the way to Help and this isn't this isn't the answer for everything. Okay, it's just a very general Way to kind of help with muscle imbalances is to do a lot of unilateral work It's to just do stuff one arm at a time one leg at a time This although it's not the answer like I said to everything it does help a lot because when you it really does Illuminate quite a bit like you do a one-arm chest press and you may notice like oh my gosh I didn't realize my left shoulder raises up so much when I do that or a one-arm row or You know like what you know one-legged step up or toe touch or lateral exercises with one leg at a time That does illuminate quite a bit and then we've said this before in the podcast real good rule of thumb is The side that is weaker and less stable Start with that side and then have that side dictate what you do with the other side so that you're not Training your good side more than your weaker side allow it to catch up I think it's really common, and I don't think anybody is perfectly symmetrical So in that sense, that's normal. I guess I think a good goal is To try and minimize the discrepancy from left to right as much as possible So, you know to Sal's point about doing the unilateral work I think that's a great way to to measure this and pay attention to it But that's kind of what I'm always looking at is I know that I'm never gonna be perfectly symmetrical I know I'm always gonna have a more dominant side than the other side But I want to minimize the discrepancy from left to right as much as I possibly can so everything from mobility and strength and control So I want to be able to what I can do on my left side I want to be able to do on my right side as close to equal as I can and I think a good goal is to pursue that whether You'll ever achieve it. I think it's a good gauge or measure on You know trying to counter all these imbalances that we all have But I think it's an it's an impossible pursuit Just because I think that's just not how the body works I think you're you're gonna tend to lean heavily on your dominant side always But the pursuit of trying to make that as close to as evenly as possible. I think is a good goal Yeah, your body is always gonna be compensating and this is just gonna change all the time and so that's why these Reassessments are really important to and this is why we created something like prime where it's just a very basic test to see You know you monitor your joint function and just to see like if your Your abilities are still there to be able to do like a normal function of the joint And so I'm every now and then I'm just you know checking up on that to see what I've been neglecting because inevitably you get into patterns and Your body's gonna adapt towards those patterns. So To be able to kind of look at that But my goal is always to maintain a certain level of you know primal movement patterns as some people call it In terms of squatting in terms of you know being able to to run to to be able to throw To be able to jump or you know certain abilities. I want to maintain I have to be able to train that because otherwise my body is going to prioritize other things in and So some of these abilities are gonna kind of go right out from under you But yeah, you're always gonna have imbalances. That's just inevitable just because we don't do the same exact thing on both sides all day long It's just a matter of Making sure that your priorities are met and also that your joints are fully capable of you know The kind of range of motion you want in the stability and support
