Balancing the Scales: Unveiling the Solution to Correct Muscle Imbalances and Achieve Symmetry

Having one side that is stronger or larger than the other is a problem facing many people. This problem usually appears in the leg, arm, or chest muscles. Sometimes you find one shoulder larger than the other, or that the weights move inconsistently in the exercise due to the presence of one side that is stronger than the other.

The reason for this problem is often because you practice daily life relying on one side more, which makes it stronger, or because you focus during exercise with only one side, which makes it stronger.

The solution is in a few simple steps that you must follow in your training and daily life. These steps are:

1. Using dumbbells

If one limb is stronger than the other, the strong side will take over when you practice exercises that require both sides together. For example, exercising the biceps with the bar, if your right biceps muscle is stronger than your left, it will work harder than your left muscle, and thus the problem increases, so try It is better to exercise with dumbbells until each limb becomes independent, and you can train each limb separately while the other party rests, which is excellent so that you get much greater focus.

2. Start the exercise with the weaker side

The reason that you have a muscle that is larger than one muscle is that you care about one side at the expense of another, so you start individual exercises with it and also use it when carrying anything in your daily life. Therefore, you must do these things with your weak side, especially starting the exercise with it when you exercise each side separately. This is because your energy and concentration are greater, which leads to stronger exercise for this aspect.

3. Do to the weak side what the strong side does

When you follow the step above, you may notice that the strong side is still strong and the other is still weaker. For example, if you can lift 50 pounds and do 10 repetitions with the weak side, and you can do 12 repetitions with the strong side, then you should try to increase the number of repetitions with the weak side until it is equal to the strong side.

4. Solve the basic problem

If the reason that you have a muscle larger than a muscle is your wrong training method, then you must solve this problem so that the matter does not happen again after you follow the steps above and the strength and size of your muscles are equal, and if the reason for this is not paying attention to your weak side during exercise, then you must also solve this problem. The problem is because it will lead to a repetition of the matter, and whatever mistake you made, you must avoid it completely so that you do not fall into the same matter again with other muscles or with the same two muscles.
